New Years Eve Avicii Playing Pier 94 NY

In 2008, Tim Bergling, more popularly known as Avicii, emerged into the music industry at only the age of 18. In the span of 3 years, Bergling has skyrocketed into ultimate stardom as he effortlessly released epic hits such as “Bromance”, “My Feelings For You”, “Levels”, and “Fade into Darknes.” When Avicii’s New Year’s Eve performance in New York City was announced, his soaring popularity demonstrated its might.
Ash Pournouri from At Night Management sums it up in the following press release:
“The impact was insane. Within seconds of releasing tickets, our own site www.aviciinye.com and a ticket partner site www.clubtickets.com crashed hard and were difficult to get back up, despite both services’ promise with preparations in bandwidth.”
Wantickets.com came in to the rescue with 2500 pre-sale tickets for 60$.

They of course decided to go with option A and sold out all tickets within an hour. Wantickets.com ended up crashing as well having experienced 60,000 views in just two hours.
On the brighter side, At Night Management has decided to provide 400 cheaper rate tickets for people that may have been affected by the rush. Furthermore, Avicii and Pournouri will be giving away tickets on a continuous basis up until the event.
“We ask the people who were left without a chance to get tickets to keep a look out on the Facebook group in the coming weeks and few months.”
If you don’t happen to be one of the lucky few to attend, the event will be broadcasted live. More details to come. by Acewell
