yes, we do have a limit on our guestlist spots. we dont want to have a list of 1000 people to sort through the night of an event - it just makes for a prolonged wait in line for all attending.

i personally dont lose money as a promoter if i have someone not show up, but my credibility may suffer if it happens with many people or on a regular basis.

Originally posted by The Highroller I would anticipate that at many clubs, more people are on a guestlist than not.

On most nights I think I agree with you yeah.

Ill get on guestlist and it always ends up being longer or a longer wait than the regular KH or Guv line!

Though, if guestlist is reduced cover, or free, I will still usually try to get on it regardless)

If someone literally breaks my balls for guestlist for one of my events and doesn't show up and doesn't offer any explanation next time, they are blacklisted.

If someone regularily asks for list and doesn't show.. then I simply stop putting them on.

and if i comp them and they don't show.. then the list will usually be full when they ask again

and if someone comes to me and all i have is reduced left for them.. and they turn around and try and score a comp for another host or one of the DJs.. then you're a cheap weasel and have no business going out in the first place

Wow, that's a stupid comment. As a customer of a business, I am going to find the lowest price I can get. I'm not going to pay more than I have to out of the goodness of my heart or to be loyal.

Finding the lowest price available is not being a "cheap weasel". It is what consumers do. Why would I pay more with you when I can pay less with someone else?
