Well, after reading the posts on peoples' plans for NYE and the $140 price tag that was stated for Welcome 2001 i thought i'd drop 'Future Entertainment' a line and say hello. (In so many words)

hi,
just wanting to know when your going to release the dj line up for summadayze.
I mean really.... why would i want to get tickets to an event that doesn't say who's playing! It's got 'money-spinner' written all over it.
Not trying to ruffle your feathers but i thought you might want to know that your pissing a lot of people off with these little marketing ploys.
Welcome 2001.... $140???!!!!!!!! I know Sasha and Digweed are expensive, but they are not that expensive!
80-90% of the people i have spoken to that were thinking about going to welcome 2001 took one look at the price and said,"That settles it, i'm going to earthcore!"
Dont get me wrong, i'm glad that you are able to bring more hi-profile dj's down to our neck of the woods but it seems very obvious that the element of greed has taken its toll on you. There's nothing wrong with making a profit, but to a point.
Also, i heard what you did to one of my beloved clubs that i go to around the time of the last 'cheesegrater', it's organisations like you that give the scene a bad name.
"
Now, i wasn't totally out to get stuck into FE but i was hoping for some sort of explanation or at least some sort of rebuttle. They are making quite a bit of money so i thought they would have something worth while to say. Their reply was swift, but that was about it, it goes as follows:
"FUCK OFF !!!
Future Entertainment www.futureentertainment.com.au"
Well, my respect for them has gone from mediocre to none.
Thought i might as well not let this little moment of clarity go to waste and share with you all.
Comments anyone??
