"Was contemplating attending a club last week, but when I enquired the price what I considered over priced. What is the most you have paid to gain entry into a club?" Yeah sadly entry fees will always tend to be much higher priced as there always more guys interested in attending then couples and woman. It can range in price a fair bit depending on the venue and it does help keep male numbers down tbf. I think the idea being they make it clear you should never go expecting anything to happen so if your thinking of going you consider before hand how keen are you in actually attending the venue while fully understanding it could be uneventful, excluding or you decide not to stop long. On the front of things yeah it just seems a very expensive club entry fee but then that’s equally the wrong mindset to why you should want to go really. Think £75 is the most I’ve seen asked before and that wouldn’t bother to be honest if it was an event I want to go to and enjoy socialising etc | |||

"Was contemplating attending a club last week, but when I enquired the price what I considered over priced. What is the most you have paid to gain entry into a club?" The price will be set at what people are prepared to pay for the service they’re providing. If the price is too high then people will stop paying it and they’ll go out of business. If you’ve never been to the club before and you don’t know how good the service is that they supply then how can you say it’s overpriced? I think what you actually mean is that its more than you can afford to pay, which is a different issue altogether. | |||

" I do feel sorry for single males sometimes because in some clubs they’re made to pay extortionate membership fees plus entry fees! " There are clubs out there, who charge a low, one-off LIFETIME membership fee for single females and couples, but charge a grossly unfair ANNUAL membership fee for single males. There's absolutely no justification for the disparity of length of time for membership. I avoid these types of club | |||

"Was contemplating attending a club last week, but when I enquired the price what I considered over priced. What is the most you have paid to gain entry into a club?" . I go to OP4F in North London I pay £30 on Tuesday which is a greedy girl night & £50 on Friday. I mostly go on a Friday as it’s the end of my working week. | |||

"If I'm going to a club, and I know some of my male friends are going, I'll offer to "couple up" with them to help ensure they can actually come out and have a good time without worrying quite so much about how much it's costing them just to attend. The clubs are cool with this because they get extra bodies in, and it makes me feel a little safer knowing I have friends there should anything go wrong for whatever reason. I've also attended clubs as part of a big group of friends from the local kink scene before. The club seemed to absolutely love that, because it brought so many women in. The thing that irks me the most about disparate pricing is on bi nights especially, where they don't offer discounted couple rates to MM couples. It's put some of my friends off attending." Some excellent points raise there and maybe it’s should be considered in the pricing structure. I am not mean and will pay the going rate but some fluctuate quite extremely depending on nights. Understandable Friday and Saturday nights pricing policy as busiest nights. But treble or quadruple the price isn’t right to me. Clubs obviously can charge what they feel they can but it’s always better with more people in. single males paying £30 or £49 is better then 2 paying £60 especially if make money from the bar drinks etc. It should create atmosphere's and more for choice for the females or other couples. Bette night all round | |||

"Its quite simple really, would any of the single straight men visit a club with no couples or single women? The answer is no. If anything couples/ladies pay to much for some clubs as without them nobody would attend " As a single male I thank you for taking one for the team by being in a club that allows single males. However your comment above would ensure I would without hesitation blank you in every aspect. I would go for the social atmosphere and zero expectation, not to be judged by a couple who think they add some kind of value with their presence. | |||

"Can you imagine the crowd of men they'd get if they charged a tenner?! " Respectfully, this is a point I vehemently disagree with - the idea that charging more money inherently attracts a better crowd. If anything, charging more only encourages them to "expect" more! For myself, the more I'd pay the more I'd expect in terms of atmosphere etc (not sex obviously). I think it's down to club owners/organisers to be responsible keep the numbers to a sensible level. | |||

"There is always the case of supply and demand and obviously if no couples or women attend then it would be a sausage fest and that's a different type of night/club so fully expect there to be a difference. I fully expect to pay somewhere between 35 and 50 quid anything more and I just won't attend. My main gripe is being near London virtually every club I'm not welcome on a Saturday night but am welcome other nights which to me means we need your support the rest of the week but when it's busy f*** o**. It grates" It is not "f off" to single men on Saturdays/nights when single men are not allowed it. It is catering to couples who are not interested in playing with single men, just other couples and/or single ladies, and don't want single men around. Look at it as exactly the same as bi nights turning straight people away as they cater for people who are at least bi curious, for example. I'm sure there are clubs that do welcome single men on Saturdays, I know at least one and it's not that far from London. | |||

" Can you honestly say you would have still enjoyed the night out, if you hadn't shared some sexy playtime? " Always. Clubs are a chance for me to dress up slutty, meet some new people, chat to interesting folk, have a dance (if there's a dance floor), make some friends and catch up with old friends. I probably play about 50% of the time, but unlike you I don't keep a spreadsheet and tally up sexual encounters versus cost outlay.... | |||

" I think you're completely correct. Charging so much cultivates an entitled mindset among certain men and clearly doesn't stop unwanted behaviour givien how many complaints you read. The way to balance attendees is by setting limits on numbers allowed to attend. Differential pricing doesn't work and is completely illegal - being a private membership club doesn't get around it because that loophole was closed years ago. It amazes me that so many guys are happy to get treated like chumps and cash cows because none of the women I know would ever put up with that kind of treatment. It tells you something about a club and the experience it offers if they have to charge women less than a tenner to get them to attend. | |||

"Can you imagine the crowd of men they'd get if they charged a tenner?! Respectfully, this is a point I vehemently disagree with - the idea that charging more money inherently attracts a better crowd. If anything, charging more only encourages them to "expect" more! For myself, the more I'd pay the more I'd expect in terms of atmosphere etc (not sex obviously). I think it's down to club owners/organisers to be responsible keep the numbers to a sensible level. " Following on to this, I suspect that the fact that men are what keeps clubs afloat also leads to those clubs not properly enforcing rules and cracking down on behaviour by some of those men that spoils it for everyone else. | |||

"I club as a solo lady and whilst entry is usually £10-20 depending on the club, there aren't any local to me, so I factor in petrol and hotel costs which means it's rarely under £100 all in (before I've eaten or d*unk anything). Which I am very happy to pay as I enjoy socialising and dressing up for a party, whether I play or not. I'm probably spending a lot more overall than some of local guys who live a 5 minute drive from the club, but that's my choice, and I don't bitch about it all over the forums in terms of how much "success" I've had versus the financial cost. It's a night out and that's that. Completely agree, I went out Friday as a single lady and that cost over £150 for the night, really enjoyed dressing up and the vibe so good night had Can you honestly say you would have still enjoyed the night out, if you hadn't shared some sexy playtime? How do you know she did have some sexy playtime? Are you assuming that, just because she is a woman, play time is guaranteed? " The clues are there Watson.... I think we can agree, that it's more unusual to hear a woman didn't have any play time on a club visit, than a man? In the last three weeks, two female friends of mine individually went for their first time visits to two very different clubs. Both solo, I'll add. They were both very well received, and each enjoyed playtime with several guys. Excellent stuff for a first time club experience, and each can't wait to return! I look forward to hearing how they get on next time.... | |||

" Can you honestly say you would have still enjoyed the night out, if you hadn't shared some sexy playtime? Always. Clubs are a chance for me to dress up slutty, meet some new people, chat to interesting folk, have a dance (if there's a dance floor), make some friends and catch up with old friends. I probably play about 50% of the time, but unlike you I don't keep a spreadsheet and tally up sexual encounters versus cost outlay.... " To be fair; you've tallied up enough of your sexual encounters to state you probably play 50% of the time... No need for spreadsheets; sticking with my maximum outlay of £50 entry fee, if I visit a club, feel welcome, meet some friendly people, and the place is well-appointed and clean, I'll consider a return visit | |||

I've been to clubs and not played before, and had a great night out. Are you saying that unless you have sex you feel your money has been wasted? " Not at all, but the poster I posed the question to was giving the impression she had an entirely social evening, which (and all good fortune to her), it wasn't... | |||

"I've just seen an ad for a club night that states single men 'from £50' Wondering if they charge by the inch...... " Oh behave…… It will likely be £50 for clique members, then £variable for non-clique members, first-timers etc….. | |||

"As a single male, I wouldn’t want to attend a club where the price for single men was the same as single women or couples, as the place would be overrun by single men, completely ruining the vibe. The last thing clubs need are any more ‘wanking dead’ hanging around in sinister-looking groups or following people around." | |||
