I don't know where you're getting this from but it sounds like a load of nonsense to me. Running an event of this scale is a lot of hard work, why the hell would any business do this if there was no financial gain? Htid and innovation are effectively the same company as far as I know, but I'm still confused as to how innovation holds Htid up? If one part of your business was failing or not making any money you just wouldn't bother with it.

The problem with the Ravers Ibiza hotel packages is that they have a lot of terrible reviews. One of them has had plenty of issues with theft. Keyes said the hotel will be run by Englishmen during the event, but still that's skeptical.

and they assume that racers are complete idiots nowadays. True many of them are, especially the ones that go to HTID events lol. But with all the resources at our disposal it's very clear that we can find better and more affordable places to stay at that beat the prices they might offer. Only thing is that all depends on how much they're charging for club only passes.

still, they keep making the most impractical choice every year by bringing such events back. A whole week is too much and more people would rather come for a weekend than a whole week. They need to work on downscaling it to a long weekend event and jampack that weekend with everything they can.

If the losses were sufferable on a commercial level - they may still believe that there is long-term brand-value in HTID ITS in existing.

To be honest it's common knowledge amongst promoters within the scene. Innovation gets about 5000 people each year, which is where they make the money, HTID makes nothing! They do it pretty much just so they have it, if that makes sense.

The thing that does my head in with HTID is how they just lie all the time. No doubt they will come up with some big 'apology' for ITS about venue changes and event day changes and how it 'wasnt their fault' and was 'beyond their control' instead of just being honest and saying they ****ed up and should of told people before hand but didnt.

HTID 2015 won't be in Lloret De Mar and also may feature free drinks in the clubs all week.

From Facebook....

It'll be probably Tossa De Mar or another town adjacent to Lloret, which is pretty much the exact same thing, if not worse.

If you want a beach event, have it at a real beach like in Ibiza, or even the Camary islands. If not just turn it into a 3-day camping style weekend like Dominator or Defqon.1
