i suppose it's the fact the rock show sold out in 4 hours while the intimate art show is going pretty slow...

i think it's just that in berlin, life is much much cheaper, everything from food to alcohol to rent...
my cousin lives there and for a big, central flat in Mitte (3 bedrooms, one big living room, kitchen, bathroom),
she and her girlfriend pay 500€ (250 each).
that sum in london, paris, or milan, gets you a shitty small room and not even in the center.

so i wouldn't say "poor"...just...money has a different value,
so people maybe don't feel like investing a month of rent for an art show, especially when there are always hundreds of free shows every month,
it's a town bustling with creativity and art <3

nevertheless, it's going to be a kickass event  :)

Thought we got 2 tickets, but the office dissed us. We order it online at 10 in the morning, got confirmation 2 mins later, payed via transaction... everything fine.
Today this f***** office mailed us to inform that the show is sold out. They saled "our" tickets to other people.

so, be carefully buying tickets in Berlin based offices online.

oy, that's really horrible, I'm sorry they messed up your order. :( keep your eyes peeled on this forum in case someone has spare tickets. I hope you were refunded your money.
