A FINAL WORD ON BLACKPOOL.
We have received so many messages and comments asking if we can do Blackpool again.
For me personally its been the hardest Reunion to promote and organize,it's taken 13 months of my life everyday to get it right.
We have been so successful in the past 6 years in Sheffield and we are well known to fill venues in our city,we could approach any venue in our area and they would take clubbers instantly.
But Blackpool was a different animal,nobody had ever heard of Clubbers,we had to go there and sell it to them,persuade them that we could get 400 people over here.
After endless trips and meets we finally managed to get the best 4 venues for us and clubbers.
So the pressure was on to sell tickets and get everyone over,I was determined not to fail.
The biggest disappointment was people buying tickets and not attending,for us this is very frustrating,yes it's money in the pot but when your telling bars, clubs and local buisness the numbers coming and then people don't show up makes us look unprofessional and the brand a bit s**t.
Luckily we managed our 400 target on Saturday and we proved that we can do this outside of Sheffield.
So with that in mind we are now looking at Returning for Summer 2028.
We have laid the foundations and have good contacts with local businesses that want to work with us again.
So next time it won't be as difficult to do as we have already proven it works.
Some people have mentioned Skegness,
For me Skegness won't work,it's very family orientated,the bars are spread out,there is nothing really around the nightclub area (Bar Wise) that is right for our market.
I've managed not to balls things up yet in 6 years and have made the right call on all our events,I'm just not feeling Skegness.
Blackpool is a party town,hen and stags and that's what works.
The area we choose on Saturday worked perfectly,everything was in a 2 min distance, if it rained it wouldn't effect us as everything is so close,and that's why we choose it.
Obviously next year's Summer Event is back at Forge in Sheffield,so our next 3 events are back in our city.
But 2028 in Blackpool looks a real possibility,I just need to decide after Christmas if it's something I want to do again.
Once again thanks to everyone who attended over the weekend.
A massive thanks to my superstar team who I dragged 120 miles to Blackpool! and they all smashed it.
A few weeks off now before we start work on Halloween.
Off to Benidorm on Wednesday with a few of our team and family and a much needed break.
You know I'll be getting ideas out there and looking 😂.
Much love.
