The bottle crowd may pull in the money initially, but they're notoriously fickle and quick to abandon a club for the next hot spot six months later. It's the real house heads that are going patronize your venue for years (if you book the right talent), but treat them like shit and you lose them too.

THIS! Back when I was working with Spundae, it was all about customer loyalty. "Take care of the customers, they're the ones paying your bills", is what my boss always told me. Yes, the bottle service crowd spends a lot of money, but it's the average clubber that is going out week after week who really counts.

This is exactly why circus was packed for decades. They (VIP TOM and their greeters (sunshine, cole, etc.) made the average Joe feel VIP. The lineups have been solid enough, the customer service aspect should be easily to implement.

Ill always remember when I first starting going to Spundae at circus there some Jackass friend of Gene's asking people for $100 to cut in line on a crazy busy night. while the rest of us waited in line with tickets in hand. I posted my frustration in the spundae boards and Lisa immediately emailed me, and invited me to come back and gave me a VIP table on the balcony and a bottle of bubbly. From that weekend on I think I was at circus every weekend for the next 4 years.

I have been to Sound twice and the first time was a great experience, we got there right at 10 pm for Martin Butritch (sp) and there was no one else there, we got comped to get in, the promoter bought our first drink and it stayed pleasantly full but not over packed. and yes they closed down around 3;30 am because it wasn't completely packed.
i went last weekend for Lee Burridge, and I can say that unless one of my favorite djs makes it back there I will not go again. I don't like the attitude of the staff, they only cater to bottle service people and many of the patrons don't even know who the dj is spinning

Not my kind of club at all
I love Nicole but I will be in Detroit the following weekend for Movement and will see her properly there with people that will appreciate her and the type of music she plays!

I got the same thing when I last went to Exchange. The guy said he couldn't scan my phone. Luckily I had also printed my ticket, and he accepted that.

SO WEIRD?! I guess people just have this Luddite fear about new tech.

This is the same night as Henry Saiz anyway. I can wait for Nicole til next time - she'd be perfect for somewhere a bit dingy, like Dim Mak. No attitude or bottle service wankers there.

You don't even need your ticket for Exchange, they have a print off for backup. I've gotten shit faced and forgot my ticket a few times and they've always helped. The door guys at Exchange are also really cool.
