Why do this clubs sexually discriminate males & sometimes couples?
Eg. tell me if this pricing system is fair?
intial cost + 1st visit + 1 years membership
guys: £100
couples: £40
females: £10 + life time membership
Costs for coming on other nights whether its ur 2nd visit or 20th visit:
Guys: £20/£30 (depending on the night)
couples: £10/£20 (depending on the night)
Females: Free
when u right ur respone, state whether ur a malle, female or couple
I can see why guys moan about having to pay so much, but I can aso see the clubs reasons. If they charged a nominal fee for single guys then in all honesty on a Friday night the places would be overrun with single guys looking for a quick shag, this in turn would drive away a lot of couples and wouldn't be profitable.
Single fems have always been the holy grail and so te enticement is there.
Whether or not I agree with it makes no difference, at the end of the day the pricing policy is down to the club and if you pay £100 then simply put you just make it worth it yourself.

Supply and demand, it's simple market forces and because they can
There is always a greater number of single men who want to visit a club that single females or couples.
You're lucky, some clubs have long long waiting lists for single males to get membership.
If anyone know where couples only get to pay £10 to £20 ....let us know....the one we use to regularly go to as gone up to an unnessessary ,considering it was always busy there was no need to increase the prices!

Because they can!
If you don't like it, you don't have to go - not like you're forced to pay!

Couldn't have said it better.
Personally I don't think it's unfair at all. They have costs to cover and it's definitely a supply and demand issue. Oh and I'm an ex single fem and now a couple.

we've been recommended this place....we must give it a try sometime!
On the subject of price, this excessive pricing, women can also play the same game as males. There is fine line on this subject, all need is one male to take one of these clubs/ venues to court and claim sexual discrimantion (unlimited compensation) against one of these clubs, and its goodbye vienna.
On the subject of certain neights:
I see they couples & ladies nights, why dont they have just single nights, like no couples allowed? (maybe 60: 40 ratio, F:M)?

No, it's not - because they are private members clubs.

i'm not moaning,i'm asking opinons, i always want fair deal or bargin. even nightclubs in london are becoming excessively on drink pricing .
I just stay away cause i cant afford it and dont wana that type of money. smile :)

Wet area is great, but there is a reason it's only £15 on those nights..... it's dead confused
we are a cpl but do/have also played as a single guy and single female.
When you see it in black and white on the face of it its not fair, but when you look at the reality of it from both a client and buisness point of view it makes sense to have tiered fee's. For a club to be successful for everyone it needs to have a decent amount of females. These females are single or part of a couple and by reduceing the entry fee's the club scene is more afforable and hence encourages the females to attend. Many clubs that did have a one fee policy found they had a club full of men...only realy any good if the men want to play with each other.
It makes sense in my head any how lol

:thumbup:
Private membership clubs run almost along the lines of a private party....they choose who to invite and its all within the law.

Life is never fair, is it lol
I think the high costs for single guys is to effectively sort the wheat from the chaff : asking £40 to get in on top of (yes, extortionate) membership fees goes some way to ensuring that the clubs 'get' single guys who are committed to swinging - in the sense that passing stag parties looking for a quick shag just wont pay that kind of money & the club hopefully attracts blokes who wont overstep the mark & risk losing their membership through unacceptable behaviour....
but..... (and there's always one of those :lolsmile it's a bit of a double-edged sword really isnt it? I also think the high costs contribute to the 'well, I want what I've paid for' attitude - but that's a whole other thread wink
I dont think its sexual discrimination tbh, not in the context you're speaking of Andy - I think its more supply and demand and clubs simply have to have a way of keeping single male numbers down dunno
ooo and I just read this bit:

simply because it wouldnt work - not as a weekly thing anyway, maybe monthly....but your suggested ratio deffo wouldnt work (imo) because there just arnt enough single fems who use clubs (or attend alone) to make it happen :dunno:
Hey guys
I think you should know when to stop digging when your in a hole
You have never had it so good
Want to know some of the things girls pay for, (usually through the nose) that men dont even think about or know exist?
Sanitary products
Nair styling/products
Moisturising creams
Makeup
Hosery
Expensive shoes
Rip off car servicing/plumbers/other trades etc
and countless more things i cant think off, but before you say, hey no one asked you to buy all this, men would HATE women not to look attractive or take pride in their apperance.
All this, PLUS, 27 yrs on from the sex discrimination act 1975, and its still common knowledge men earn more than women
Anyway, if you want more single girls in clubs, there needs to be a financial incentive
biggrin
ps, underwear isnt cheap either and I cant afford new bras every few months.........see avitar!!!

this quoted from the equal opps commission:
Wednesday 8 May 2002
Section 29 of the Act
Peers must vote for the end to the sexual apartheid, that still exists in many private members' clubs, according to the Chair of the Equal Opportunities Commission, Julie Mellor.
She went on, "Lord Faulkner's bill, which reaches the House of Lords Committee stage later today, offers a sensible way of tackling women's second class membership in many private member clubs up and down the country. Many clubs have recognised that it is simply unacceptable not to allow women to have a drink in the bar at certain times, for example, and have changed their policies so that they are consistent with 21st century life.
"Incredibly though, there are still some clubs that refuse to open their doors fully to both men and women. We hope that members of the House of Lords Committee recognise the value in tackling one of the last bastions of discrimination."
Lord Faulkner's bill proposes amending the Sex Discrimination Act so that private clubs, which have more than 25 members and have both men and women as members, are banned from offering unequal membership.
Already this year, the Equal Opportunities Commission has received more than 70 complaints from people, about restricted membership of private clubs facilities.
and here is the debate regarding the topic in question:
Well I do seem to be outgrowing mine at the moment
Its not easy getting a quart into a pint pot or in my case 34DD into a 34D and expect them to stay in all day, im comfort without trying to make a break for it whilst bending over, and its always when some one is watching

's not unfair, it's just a question of ecomonics.
I would ask the single males (in particular straight ones) would you prefer:
a) Pay £50 to get into a club with females & couples inside.
b) Pay £10 to get into a club full of single males
all u need is to limit the number of single guys going to a venue,

Just a thought...Andy you're not seriously thinking of taking the equal opps thing any further are you?
anyway, regardless, as a single fem here I personally would not attend clubs at all if a blanket entry fee of say £20 applied to all due to sexual discrimination/ equal opps PC correctness - that's my personal view - because I do not want to see swinging clubs overrun by single blokes which is, imo, what would happen....and in turn, some fems (both single and female halves of couples) would simply stay away, defeating the object for everyone.
I dont think you could limit the number - I dont know any clubs where you can pre-book, so everyone just turns up on the night - turning guys away because there are already 30 in there who arrived earlier than you just isnt worth the hassle.

So, if you have to wait 3 years to get a membership to a club that charges equally for male & female, your not going to moan :shock:
At the end of the day 99% of swingers want single bi fems, couples want them, men want them and other women want them so it pays the clubs to get as many in as possable, to be honest women just wouldn't pay as much as men to get in so if they charged as much they would stop going or go with a guy who will pay for them thus scrapping single women, and most couples want other couples so it would greatly reduce the amount of women for you guys to play with so in actually fact they doing you a favour letting them in for free biggrin
Also u may have noticed they always charge single women more on nights single guys can't go so that prove they are letting them in to cater for the guys ;)

At the end of the day the clubs are there to make money and they know guys will pay more to get in so why would they want to charge less? they also know that women wouldn't pay more and if they charged more they would stop going thus having a effect on the amount of single guys who would stop going and the money they would loose, if u sit and think about it its obvious why they charge more for men than women.....cause men are willing to pay more simple as
They are indeedy - or they just moan about it lol
