As we were putting the final touches to our next issues' essential NYE guide we noticed one shocking door tax. Hed Kandi's party at The Cotton House, Ducie Street in Manchester were asking for £60
for NYE tickets. We laughed like drains before asking HKHQ how they justified asking that much for a ticket. This morning we got an email back - they've taken our comments on board and have since slashed the prices by 25% to £45. We've just saved 600 Mancs £15 each! As always, we've got clubbers best interests in mind and are now officially dance music's watchdog. Eat your heart out Nicky Campbell.


And fair play to Hed Kandi for seeing sense and doing the right thing. Will other club promoters follow suit?
