MOKFEST Saturday Night Concert in Victoria Hall

[Mod7]

Someone mentioned that survivors night tickets can only be bought if a Saturday night ticket is purchased..

I don't think that is fair, but putting the Saturday night tickets on sale earlier than the survivors night tickets with the chance to purchase one Survivors night ticket with each Saturday night one sold, gives the Saturday night concert a better chance of making money, as everyone does want a survivors night ticket. This way, no one has to buy both tickets,but they would guarantee a survivors night ticket early by purchasing the Saturday night one. (thus a Saturday night ticket purchased, money in the bank whether, the purchaser uses it or sells it on etc)..

Just a thought... going back into the dark beside the mushrooms now..

Mod that makes total sense, thats basically what I meant! Cant remember how it actually worked the year that they did this, think it was the year Deacon Blue played (may have been the first year that tickets could be bought online).

Don't worry Mary, we are already looking forward to next year. Maybe, as you suggest, a little adjustment is needed to the programme. Everything, apart from the main concert, went perfectly to plan in terms of ticket sales. Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Thanks Mack

We had a very enjoyable weekend - as always. And nice to catch a brief chat with you too. The Captain, from Skipinnish, aka Angus MacPhail, certainly enjoyed his sojourn to the town.

The chat and feedback that I heard from the people I spoke to was interesting. I am sure you have also heard lots of views ... not all of it solicited, I bet! Anyway, the gist of what I heard is that folk are really enjoying the Friday night format more and more. This is in part, but not entirely, a generational thing.

Also, people like to do one or two of the Victoria Hall ticketed events, and then enjoy the pubs the other night(s). Many were saying that they would make the ceilidh (Friday currently) night their main or only night in the Vic, rather than the Saturday.

These views that I heard may not be representative. In any case, I hope they are useful as you seek to mix it up a bit for next year.

Like Tubby the Tuba I really enjoyed Attic Lights, but thought Justin Currie was disappointing, and didn't seem too keen to be there either! His comments to the crowd were pretty sarcastic (or is he always like that?).

Anyway, that was the only disappointment for me over the week-end. Loved the Festival, especially Friday night and the Concert at the Heritage Centre on Sunday. Brilliant musicians - all of them!

Thanks to the organisers - it was really worth the long haul from Sydney to be there!
