Defqon1 Sold Out!


Produced by Q dance, Defqon1 is considered to be one of the greatest Dutch dance music events. This is the 4th year and the event is gaining popularity every year.

This would have been the third year for me, if it wasn't for the lousy way Defqon1 tickets are being sold. The ticket sale was started at 6 pm last Saturday at Ticketonline. Because of the animo for the party the maximum was 4 tickets per person. I went to the website around 7 pm to book tickets for Defqon. The website did not work because the server was to crowded. At 8.30 pm I could finally enter the website, not knowing yet that the tickets were already sold out. Last year it took 5 days to sell the tickets and this year 35.000 tickets were sold in 2,5 hours. This aroused my suspicion.

A few days later, searching for tickets I came on a website called TicketUnlimited. They had 93 Defqon1 tickets for sale at a price of 145,- each (normally 53,-). I am really wandering how they could get their hands on so many tickets, while you can only get your hands on a maximum of 4 each person. Until this moment I still have a strange feeling about all this and being a fan of Defqon1 I am not pleased with the way they do business.
