Price point for ITC fun: A survey
Electronman
Too much of a good thing is never enough
Obviously, the price for any service depends on two factors: a) what the customer is willing to pay and b) what the service provider is willing to do at a given price point. The price point for ITC fun probably varies widely across geographic locations and even across clubs within a geographic location.
Under the assumption that it might be helpful for customers to know what prices are "acceptable" in various locations, how about an OPINION survey (no need to disclose specific experiences) of what you consider to be a "good deal," an "acceptable deal" and a "no deal" for ITC fun in a given geographic area. By ITC fun, I mean an inside the club experience, probably 10-30 minutes, that provides more than just a dance (i.e. extras). I've intentionally left lots of details out that might influence your price point (how attractive the dancer is, the specific club, details of extras) but the goal is to get a general range of prices and let customers negotiate within those parameters depending on whatever factors are most important to them.
For convenience, you can cut and paste this next section for your reply.

Comments:
(1) does not include the room-fee which on avg can be $100 on nightshift (bit-cheaper on dayshift) - some pretentious-upscale clubs rooms can be above $100 room-fee but they are more of the execption
(2) data is for mixed-clubs; does not apply to the all-black small-clubs which are much-cheaper
Any opinions from some of the of the other strip club meccas, City of Industry, Tampa, New Jersey, Atlanta, etc?
Anyway, here are my impressions of a few markets I've experienced (numbers are for VIP experience only, and do not factor in cover, drinks, parking etc):
Geographic area: Detroit Metro
What is your OPINION of:
A Good Deal: Below 100 dollars
An Acceptable Deal: Up to 250 dollars
A No Deal (no one should pay above this amount): Above 300 dollars
Comments: Notes by others above are accurate with respect to tradeoffs in pricing/quality for metro Detroit clubs. ITC is available in virtually all area clubs.
Geographic area: City of Industry (LA metro)
What is your OPINION of:
A Good Deal: Below 200 dollars
An Acceptable Deal: Up to 300 dollars
A No Deal (no one should pay above this amount): Above 400 dollars
Comments: CoI is similar to the Detroit market in the sense that ITC is the norm, however (a) ROBs are much more common, (b) general pricing is higher, but still affordable - top quality dancers may not fall into that category, though.
Geographic area: Atlanta
What is your OPINION of:
A Good Deal: Below 200 dollars
An Acceptable Deal: Up to 300 dollars
A No Deal (no one should pay above this amount): Above 300 dollars
Comments: Follies is the outlier in Atlanta, arguably the only club where ITC is standard practice. There are of course other clubs where it's available, but prices are usually double the going rate at Follies. Once that $ threshold is crossed, it's hard to justify ITC over OTC.
