Gimme Gimme Disco Tickets

I had even more fun than I thought I would. It was a mixed-aged crowd and everyone was friendly. We were all just interested in being with friends, having fun, and doing lots of dancing. But, I'm glad I wore ear plugs :)

Too late a start time and not enough Disco music. Majority of music seemed like it went by request. I also would have thought there would have been an actual DJ interacting with the crowd. could have done this in my basement.

The event was fun enough overall, but not what we expected. Only about 1/3 of the songs they played actually qualify as Disco! Some of the non-Disco stuff was great, like Katrina & the Waves "Walkin on Sunshine"and B52's "Love Shack", so I definitely danced to them. But they also played a heavy Motley Crue song, a rap-type thing near the end of the night, and all sorts of stuff that was fine, but not Disco. Not sure I'd bother going again.

fun but a little disappointing in that they barely played any disco music! it was a whole lot of 80's remixes and just a few disco classics. I'd go again but only if they play more disco which is what I expected to get for my money.

Amazing opportunity to get dressed up and dance the night away. So cool to be with a broad spectrum of Disco lovers surrounded by happy faces and lots of glitter with our group of 9. Unfortunately, the consensus was the music (DJ) was a miss...No BeeGee's, Donna Summers etc. It felt like the literal point was missed. DJ never said one word to get the crowd connected and felt awkward. All in all, glad we went to be with a huge crowd who supported the era genre and made the most of it.

It was a wonderful night. A great excuse to get glammed and throw a disco party! I just loved how everyone made an effort with costumes or disco/ABBA themed outfits & the different age groups that were there having a good time was really fab to see!

DJ didn’t really have much mixing skills or even really transition at all, more of a “press-play” DJ. Although good tunes that were expected. Nothing crazy in terms of visuals. The ticket came with a “complimentary beverage” although the only bartender that gave this out made me wait over an hour until 11:15 PM before he finally gave them out. Not sure if this was a venue issue or a promoter issue, but frustrating nonetheless. I heard from friends who went to the “regular” non-new years eve Gimme Gimme disco that the show was much better and with a better DJ. Either way, it was a decently good time, not too crowded and fun place to spend new years, although has room for improvement before I come back for another.

The DJ, vibe, and sound were great!! I’d be back again. However, the floor was treacherous. The dance floor was so sticky that it caused people to trip (along with ice, fruit, and glasses). If you moved to the carpet around the same floor it was equally treacherous for catching stilettos….First time ever having that happen that badly at any venue before. Hopefully they will come up with a fix sooner than later….otherwise we might not be regulars as we’d hoped…

DJ was super amateur. No skill really. No mixes. Just a bad blend from song to song. With no understanding of the genre.. And played about 15 songs from Abba. He just doesn't have the skill or the knowledge. So many other local better DJs. It was like a 14yr old trying to DJ his parents party. But the venue was fun. People made for a great atmosphere.

The venue at the commodore was great, but the sound was off and the dj kept repeating the same thing every few songs - “how are we Vancouver I came all the way from LA for this..” and honestly didn’t do much…barely even faded from one song to the next. The lights were also really bright white a lot, almost like at the bar at the end of the night lol…could have been more colourful for a disco? Last time they had had a very energetic dj as well as videos of ABBA and 70s movies/other artists on the big screens. This time it just showed “gimme gimme disco” on the screen as an image. Overall song choice was ok but definitely not as good as last November 2022… :(
