21+ implies a much older crowd?

Hey I got a question

You know how some clubs have 18+ "college" nights on certain nights, and are 21+ on other nights.

Well, does the 21+ limit actually imply a significantly older crowd? In other words, are there pretty few people who are in their early 20s? Also, does it make sense to expect that 21+ club crowds are smaller in size than 18+ crowds?

I'm asking because even though I'm over 21 (25) I often go to 18+ nights because I like crowded dancefloors and lots of dancing.

It all depends on the crowd that's being promoted to...

Ok, look at the obvious...

if you go to an 18+ college night crowd, expect to see a bunch of drunk retards, a bunch of fights, drunk idiots walking around harassing and groping girls.

At the 21+ nights, that happens alot less and people can normally behave while drunk and can hold their liquor.

Given the same dj and venue, moving from an 18+ to a 21+ event doesn't really change the makeup of the 21+ crowd. It's pretty much the same people without the youngins.

For a typical Sander event, going 21+ will mean more space on the dancefloor but for something special like sasha and digweed it'll be packed no matter what age group is targeted.

*sigh*... You're right on that one. Not being 21, it's damn difficult for me to get into 21+ events, and greasing the bouncers is usually not worth it. I've argued ad infinitum on these boards regarding the 21+ parties, and I still don't think that they're in the true spirit of dance music. But, I must say, the drunken guidos really really get to me...
