Venue got changed because of the enormously low rate of tickets sold in advance. I know the 40 euros is little bit above the so-called "pain limit" considering the sum, people are ready to pay for electronic music event in Finand. But then again, when superstar dj`s come to Finland those tickets are easily that 30 euros and events are sold out and the biggest of clubs in here are packed, I mean really packed. For Underwold approximately only 600-700 people bought the ticket in advance, so I guess the price was not the only factor, that would explain why venue got changed. I would blame poor marketing and the fact that even tough, most of the clubbers new the band and it´s legendary carieer, so-called general public in Finland doesn´t and then it doesn´t matter for them is the ticket worth 30 or 40 euros. I´d say it isn´t fair to compare this kind of one-off event to festival, where tens of thousands of people attend.
But the Underworld rocked the house and if a person would have really liked to see this, then skipping a 12-pack of beer every once in a while would have done the trick, perhaps.... I have also missed events because the lack of money and only person I blame for that is me (well, maybe my boss too and a lousy pay-check...), since I want, when I go somewhere, that not all my spending-money would be spent on ticket and that I wouldn´t have to count pennies in the corner wondering, wether I have a one beer or glass of red bull for that one drink I can afford.

Asemapaikkani Underworldin aikana oli muun Kotka ja ex- Kotkapossen kanssa parven oikeassa laidassa, jossa oli kyllä best seat in the house- meininkiä. Hitto...en mä osannut kuvitellakaan kuinka hieno ilta tästä loppujen lopuksi tuli.
