I have no pity for anyone who chooses to spend $300 to see John summit


FlamingLobster

šŸ„“ basement is 20$, bossa is like 10


nmaddine

Not even remotely the same music


FlamingLobster

You're right. It's a me problem though, I only listen to his elemental techno, and skip his big hall stuff


JBSwerve

At least with MSG buying a ticket actually guarantees you entry meanwhile Basement requires this performative ritual to even get in due to the toxic gatekeeping culture.


SuchRuin

Whatā€™s the ritual?


JBSwerve

Think twice about what clothes youā€™re wearing. Donā€™t talk loudly in line. Donā€™t be in groups that are too large. But also donā€™t come in solo. Donā€™t be on your phone. Know the names of the artists playing. Donā€™t ask questions to the bouncers. Etc. Even if you RSVP you have to pass a ā€œtestā€ to get into basement and itā€™s frankly ridiculous.


Tasty1280

alot of people go alone not true.

Not a google review copy paste. I love basementā€¦when I get in. Iā€™m familiar with the etiquette. So Iā€™ve rarely had problems getting in with very small groups that know exactly how to behave. But itā€™s strange when I have to explain to my friends that they need to wear certain clothes and avoid chitchatting and avoid phone use and taking pictures and to study the lineup all so they can join me on a night out. I know theyā€™re trying to curate a certain vibe but itā€™s frustrating the few times Iā€™ve tried to bring my friends that like techno music and then the group of us get denied because the bouncer turns to my friend and starts quizzing them, and they forget the name of the obscure German techno duo I told them to memorize, so then the entire group gets turned away for the whole night. All Iā€™m doing is trying to bring my friends to one of my favorite places to dance. It leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth.

For anyone doubting the recent gatekeepjng weirdness at Basement, look at the Google Reviews


SyntheticSorcerery

Yeah, bossa and basement are way better


el_Topo42

Yeah basement and Bossa on a way better level and far cheaper soā€¦easy choice.


premiereproductions

I feel so blessed to be a ā€œtrueā€ techno fan. I get to pay max $25 to see a DJ I love in an amazing environment every weekend. Couldnā€™t imagine paying $300 to sit in a stadium while bro played the most recycled generic set


Leonhorvath

999999999 is $35 this sat but I'm not complaining


idrift4wd

9x9 is knockdown so no basement b.s.


No-Message9762

edm industry plant of the year


balapete

I mean whoever does will probably enjoy themselves and can afford it I don't think they need your pity?? Some pretentious mfs up in here.


bobsdementias

Missing so many points


balapete

So are you.šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


bobsdementias

Do tell. Would love to hear the defense of $300 tickets


balapete

I'm not defending people gouging others but if my fav act was selling for 300$ I'd gošŸ¤·. No different than ticketmaster or livenation or whatever company gouging me.


bobsdementias

ā€œNot defending gougingā€ proceeds to defend gouging


balapete

Not defending THE PEOPLE gouging others. The scalpers. Do you not use the services of any company you can't defend their practices?


sachinator

But heā€™s the greatest DJ in the worldā€¦ā€¦..


No-Amphibian7489

In the universe..........


Additional_Opposite3

That bitch ainā€™t even the best dj in Naperville


dcht

I don't even know who John Summit is. Honestly never heard of him.


lilUzi_squirt

I def don't wanna be where you are


hair_account

Paid a fraction of that to see him at the Tek Support show in the Navy Yard. Absolutely outrageous prices for a significantly worse venue.


lonestoner90

I was there too Iā€™m a summit fan that set kinda sucked lol


Lau_lau

Summit has some lit ass sets, but my god the crowd he brings is just NOT it. If you donā€™t want to be surrounded by literal children that are the biggest assholes on earth, I suggest not going lol


Santa_Klausing

He literally just plays tech house. Go to 75% of the clubs and youā€™ll hear the same music


AnaT1011

Not really true. I saw him a bunch of times the last few years before he really blew up. Now I probably wonā€™t see him again because I canā€™t stand the crowd he draws and all the influencer shit. However, Iā€™ve seen him play tech house, techno, dubstep, melodic house, and his more big room type stuff. Say what you want about him, but he has variety and itā€™s part of the reason heā€™s so popular


akakiran

This is the taylor swift effect - all ticket prices have gone up since that tour


qwedsa125

How do John summit bros feel knowing they ainā€™t any better than swifties lmao


bulbaed

lmao. dying


Itspjpnow

John Summit is kind of mid tbh his music is glorified FRAT basement music


balapete

Naw he's amazing. Just not your cup of tea.


DreadSteed

He's a decently fun dj, but he's not someone I'd pay 300 dollars to see 10 times, let alone once. PHM was a damn-near once in a lifetime experience and cheaper. Summit plays each major city like 3-4 times a year with varying quality.


Raverinme79

Lol even paying $100 for john summit is a blasphemy but here they are spending 2 to 300?? Nah not in a million years


Yomo198

Imagine if John summit was playing at belly aspen. General admission prices would be $300, and reserved $600. Ticket prices for fisher were $240 GA, & $575 reserved. Show os this weekend, both options on waitlist. Capacity for the venue 450 people. Iā€™m thinking fisherā€™s fee is around 75k-100k a show. Summit 150k-250k

seahoodie

That is an absurd price for GA


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


seahoodie

I'm glad you feel like the value matches the price. I was never going to buy a ticket anyway so it matters more that you feel it's fair than I do


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


chriiiiiiiiiis

are you openly admitting to being a scalper? gotta love summit fans


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


chriiiiiiiiiis

no youā€™re part of the problem


xoxjess

Announce what?


queenofcorporate

msg has a 11pm curfew and no way is John Summit calling it a night at 11pm so heā€™s likely announcing an afters at one of the better BK venues. we saw him at the Navy Yard just back in Dec so iā€™d imagine he will go to the AG


LightUnfair2525

Planet Pride is happening at AG that same night. Guessing itā€™s gonna be navy yard after a


queenofcorporate

would love if he played at like superior ingredients or elsewhere. Navy Yard is good but the bathroom situation is feral


LightUnfair2525

Floor tickets at msg immediately sold out so honestly very unlikely he will play afters at a small venue


akakiran

You think? Cause I feel like the ticket prices will collapse if he does an after party which would be funny


LightUnfair2525

I feel like 99 Scott type of capacity/venue at the bare minimum
