I understand that people are sometimes skint and need to get passes/get in early to clubs to avoid paying (I've ferried enough folks through the door on a Friday night as guests), but posting IN CAPITALS suggests more a refusal rather than an inability to pay the door charge.
It's just your attitude that annoyed me, rather than anything else. |

Due to lack of funds, not going to go

what else would you expect for free? would you pay to get into a movie? would you pay for bowling? what's different about a club? | We deal with a lot of this, and as we rely on the door money to pay our wages, it can be a problem and sometimes we (Forbes & myself) can go short. We do offer free passes though so we have to expect to speculate to accumulate, so to speak and for a short period of time we're willing to make up the shortfall out of our own pockets, but only in the short term. I agree Alec, we work very hard up there and so many people expect it for free. I even had one girl on a Saturday a few weeks ago tell me she couldn't afford to pay in to Bedlam as she had no money, so could I play her loads of bedlam tunes seeing as she was missing out? Eh, NO. | |

I know. Paying, to get into a nightclub? Perish the fucking thought.

Considering other nights when I get a steady income.

I pay in when I can, when I get my student loan back I can pay in all the time.
Its too cheap to argue really.

I don't get people being outraged at the prospect of having to pay into a club. If you don't want to pay/are skint, don't fucking go out, stay in instead.
People have a living to make. | |

I dont grudge paying to any night, having a free pass is always a cool thing to have though. three or four quid for having a guaranteed good night is a bargain

I begrudge paying into shite nightclubs, and its been a long time since I've been to a good one.
I would, for instance, begrudge paying into cheesy pop. | |
