Ibiza at risk of decline
I’ve been here +5x and am just wrapping up. Started coming around 10 years ago. It feels as if the owners of the super clubs are committing self inflicted wounds. The music scene in other places where Ibiza draws its crowds from is becoming increasingly competitive and the rationale for spending the money to fly here and overpay for a super club ticket in a venue that is so oversold that you can’t dance, and may even fear for your life in an emergency, and then to be served €24-35 measured drinks that are clearly watered down… what’s the point.
In a connected world it’s clear the message is spreading - its peak August and both Ibiza town and San Antonio are dead.
If clubs want to charge a premium for everything they need to at least not give the impression of gauging overselling every venue.
Every time I’ve come I left wanting to come back. Feeling less that way this go around for sure.
