A common theme single men complain about is that they are charged more at clubs. If you ran a club what would your price structure be? And would you limit the number of single men allowed?

Yea most definitely limit the numbers and yes single men should always be charged more, I think couple should get a reduced rate and single females always be free.

I’d say couple should pay half the cost of a SM

And as I said single female at the most pay quarter of the SM fee.

This enable clubs not to get overrun and lose the enjoyment.

What that pricing structure encourages is single guys going in with single ladies as a couple to save money, and then leaving them once there in there.

I mostly go to Club play and it's the same price for couples as it is for single guys so it's of no benefit price wise for a guy to go in as a couple.

I commented recently on a club I was interested in visiting, where its £55 for single male, free for couples. The organisers told me to take a female friend and go in as a couple. I stopped going to another club when they increased their single male charge from £45. Why not just get guys to book a place, limit numbers and charge fairly.

Yeah! There's always a queue of single ladies outside waiting for all the single guys to take them in - not!

I think all clubs are different and they manipulate the pricing structure for what works for them.

As alone male I avoid clubs that would have my pants down over price. It's not a game I'm willing to entertain. However as I mainly go to clubs with my other half I do experience clubs that I wouldn't entertain as a single. But it's not just price. I don't like clubs where I'm made to feel like a second class citizen. You know things like when the male changing room is a grotty, dirty broom cupboard. The way I see it is I'm a customer too and entitled to be treated respectfully at least by the establishment.

My local club (what I class as my local anyway) is great for me to go alone or with My Girl. Membership is free for all. Entry is the same price for couples as it is for single men and under £20 (lone women free). No seperate changing rooms or no other areas where male's are treated differently or as second class. In fact it's a very freindly and welcoming atmosphere for a single guy. And you know what despite not charging men the earth its not a total sausage fest either. Plenty of couples attend but even more it honestly the club with one of the highest turn outs of single ladies you see.

If it is a swinger club rather than a social club I'd be more inclined to limit the number of couples than single men as in my experience couples seem to be more interested in socialising than sex when in clubs.

I don't think there is really any way to get more single women in though unless there is a major shift back to the sexually liberated attitudes of the 60s.

As for prices, I do think that clubs use high prices for men as a way to limit the numbers.

When clubs charge high prices for single guys they will just attract more desperate guys with increased expectations and a crap atmosphere.

Members only and numbers need not be an issue ..as in chams as even if there are a lot of single Guys they are well behaved sociable and good fun ...

As a single man, I much prefer if the entry is higher for us than for couples and ladies.

I'm not into "gangbang setups", so I prefer the parties when we guys don't outnumber girls. And clubs are businesses, not charities, they need to make their money. Especially during these times, when their bills will hit the sky... You can't save money on heating when you run a swinger club... So, how else could they make some money and still encourage couples and ladies to attend, if not by charging single men a bit more?

Plenty of men want to go to clubs, there will be always enough who are happy to pay the price. (And I'm not rich by any means, but I rather go to a bit more expensive but good party once a month than to "sausage-fests" weekly...)

Those who feel they have entitled to anything more coz they paid more at the door should not be allowed in clubs anyway.

The best practice that I met so far is OP4F's policy for Saturday night. Only 5 single men are allowed, you need to apply upfront for a ticket, and only those will be chosen who are known for following not only the hard rules but the etiquette too.

The crowd usually "soaks up" those 5 men. There are usually 20-30 couples and 2-3 single girls, so those, who are not looking for lonely men, won't be approached every second minute. Though those who are looking for an extra guy, or single straight girls who want men can find what they are looking for too. Win-Win.

Of course, financially it's only possible if we men pay more, but good things always come with a price.

Anyway, if I calculate the price of beauticians, hairdressers, sexy lingerie, etc, ladies probably still spend more on the night than me. I just take a shower, jump into a clean shirt, and pair of trousers, brush my teeth and off to go. Seriously, I can end up spending less than girls!

Do you think the income from 5 extra men will really make any difference to the finances of the club ...?

Limit the guys, of course. Now if your limit is 20 and you can get 20 by charging the same as a couple or 50% more then you charge the latter. It’s a business, why wouldn’t you? I doubt any clubs are a gold mine as it is. Whether it’s ‘fair’ or not is irrelevant.

Most single women I know are predominantly looking for single guys, so avoid party nights where single guys are limited in number. We like to have a variety and a good chance of finding someone that ticks our boxes, which is much less likely to happen if there is only a couple of chaps let in.

I think I'd be less likely to go to a club that has limits on single guys, because either I'd have to register well in advance, which is often not possible as I don't know if I'll be free or not, or if there were limits on the door there'd be a risk of being turned away so just wouldn't bother.

I imagine if numbers were very tight (5, 10 maybe) it'd end up with predominantly the same group of known males, which could get boring for couples and put off other men from trying to get in if they're constantly told its full.

I suppose the counter argument though is that I'm just a commodity, and as much as I like to think I have something to offer if I were allowed in, there are dozens of other guys who fit that bill too.

In terms of pricing, I think places like Quest have it about right. £25-30 is acceptable to most (we'd all like to pay less, I'm sure!) but probably still high enough to make 'tourists' think twice.

As a club we try not to hit the guys hard on entry. We don't charge membership for anyone as we don't feel people should be tied to just one club. We have had a few nights where we have limited men and found the couples tended to keep to themselves rather than mix however if there were guys in they approached the couples and got the night moving. We have single ladies that visit as they find the place a safe environment to take charge of their own sexuality . Unfortunately clubs have always charged men more but it can also mean that guys have expectations of guaranteed sex.

A good mix of singles , especially guys gives a much better vibe in my experience as a single and a couple.

If it's a mixed night you get a lot of couples looking for guys ..and the guys are extremely sociable in my experience and if a couple isn't interested they aren't pestered and can meet other couples and generally enjoy the vibe ...

But is a SM goes in with a SF as a couple does that not keep the ratio men to women to couples at an even keel rather than having more single men than anyone else?

here & there

I would do the following:

£40 for single guys is more than enough tbh, but we would introduce a loyalty membership scheme just for them.

They would get 100pts per visit… this in turn could be exchanged for various things : 1000pts = free entry, 1500 pts = £40 entry to a couples only night, 2500 pts = free entry to couples night, 5000 pts = paid entry to special event ie new years etc.

This would prove that they can behave & show good willing towards the men that go along way to financing the club scene.

If they behaved less than expected & it was proven then they would lose all of their pts.

There could even be tier levels for continuous visits giving greater rewards etc.

Well 5 men paying £40 is an extra £200 a night. Depends on the club but that might be difference between making a profit or not or small profit vs larger profit. Margin are tight at lots of these places. If club has 4 events per week that's £800/week or £3.2k/month. That's the wage for the owners.

I also think it's worth adding that single guys are important to the club scene for more than just their financial contributions. Clubs/parties with a reputation for quality gentleman will alway bring in the Ladies (especially the single ones). There are a lot of single ladies who don't want to be some couples Unicorn. Some that want loads of men and some that want a quality encounter one guy at a time but are not looking for couples. Lots of Ladies out there perfectly happy with plenty of guys providing they are decent guys.

Does price guarantee quality guys and good experiences for guys. In my experience yes a little but generally no. I'm a member of a club as a couple which is my favourite club but the annual membership for single guys is eye watering and they have limits. The guys there in my experience tend to be better behaved than some other clubs I know but not always and I've seen some really poor behaviour in that club too. Likewise I have been in clubs over run by what you'd say are not the best guys. But I've been to clubs where its cheap for guys yet the ratios are still good and the standards and conduct from the guys is good.

So I would say the driving factors when it comes to guys is not price, its the way the club is run, the clientele the club attracts and vibe of the club community that goes there.

Absolutely...well said

Chams on a Friday night is the best night going....lots of guys girls and couples..great vibe .and it's more or less the same price for a guy as a couple ...

Not all guys have expectations.

Treat it like a normal nite out. Some days you get lucky some days not.

I've been to clubs atimes and not get involved. Paying £30 entry fee is no guarantee of sex. Just have an open mind.
