Strip Club Prices and where they are going; Where's your line in the sand?

To sort piggyback off of mark94's thread. I'm starting to really get back into the strip clubs cause I'm burning with the SB stuff, and I'm definitely noticing it. LD prices up, cover up, drinks up, but it's not like my income dramatically went up to catch up. It's just harder to go out to these clubs now, and pulling a trigger on a dance that's more than $20 is something I have to really think hard about now. But there's certain line's I'm just not doing.
For cover I'm not paying $30 to get into a strip club. I will go to next club. I just can't do $30 at the door. Sometimes I'll even see $40. It's not happening. Half the time while I walk away they will say alright fine $20. Your talking about just to get into the club is a steak dinner. Just to walk in.
For lap dances and nothing has altered my behavior in strip clubs more than when clubs that normally do $20 a dance have now went to $30. I might do one dance if your really hot, but the days of stacking dances at $30 are over. It adds up big time. That 5 dances with one hot girl and a LDK was $100 not bad at all. Now that's $150. I can you meet in you in the middle at $25 but again that $30 number your losing me. You go past $30 as some clubs do you have completely lost me and I'm already thinking about OTC if I already walked out. It's not rare for me now just to go into a club and not do any dances at all.

I think parking fees, door fees and drink costs are about the same.
But the prices for VIP have really shot up. Gone are the $150 all in for 30 minutes. House fees have stayed pretty close to $50 but the girls are asking 25-50% more than pre Covid. The most I have paid is $260 all in but have been quoted up to $500 plus house fee. I blew her off since then.
I don't think my 5.9% Social Security raise next year is going to cover that. Thank goodness I have other pension, etc income.
The place five mins from my house used to do 20/song VIP, after a 10 (day) or 20 (night) entry fee for the girl, and a one-time 20 entry for you.
They had been open, albeit not fully. Once they fully reopened in May, they got rid of the entry fees but went to 25/song. In July it got raised to 30/song. Don't think that went well for them, so they dropped it back to 25, bit brought back the entry fee. No fee for the girl, but the guy's one-time fee became 10, day or night. No big deal.
Cover is still 5 or 10 at night, drink specials are still awesome (whiskey Wednesdays!). But where they jacked it way up is the super private upstairs VIP area...which I think was something like 600/hour and now pushes 800 if I overheard correctly.
I’d prefer it if there was more volume and bodies in the door, but since it’s not 1995…
But there is nothing wrong with the women and they just want to pay their bills, as our currency is collapsing and prices are rising.
Select the one you want and demonstrate charm and generosity and get a FRMOS going. Then when it is time for your own pants to come down, you invite her to the back room and pay the house fee and be generous with her.
After that take her home with you ASAP and continue to see her regularly and continue to be generous.

DV Centerfolds S.F. is reported as pricing 1 hour VIP time at $1200, and with the front room interaction extremely restricted. CHUMP's ONLY!

If your local proces haven't shot up, they will soon. All of the clubs' operating costs are rising, and they will have no choice but to pass the increases on to their contractors and customers.
But hey, at least the president isn't sending 5am tweetstorms anymore.
LOL - b/c one can afford to pay $50k for a car does not mean you'll pay that for a Toyota Corolla - it comes down to perceived value and paying $50 for an often meh-mileage dance that these days it's often barely 3-minutes (in some clubs less) does not feel like good-value even if one can afford it - as @Muddy put-it, one is spending the equivalent of a decent to good steak-dinner for 3-minutes of entertainment which is not much at all and if one just wants a bit more entertainment buy getting multiple dances one is ends-up paying significantly more while just getting a few more-minutes of entertainment.
At the end of the day dancers and custies will usually see things completely different when it comes to dance-prices.
Market forces have turned me into a different type of customer. Look at a guy like Subraman and I don’t mean to speak for him but I’ll do it anyway After clubbing in a place like San Francisco with standard $40 dances (a place I still love clubbing you just have to adjust fire when your there) he likely doesn’t get dances because it’s just an awful value. I’m sure he would love to do dances if it was cheaper. The best value is stick to drinks and food and take a home run swing by shooting for OTC.
But I’m not a complete high dance price advocating snob. I willingly went to a $10/song club a couple of months ago and had no problems with that. 🙂

There were moratoriums on foreclosures and fed student loan collections. But what about heat and A/C bills? Gas? Oil changes? Food? Birth control (especially for the ones who resorted to hooking so that old guys could still get laid)? Cell phone bills to take calls from the johns? What did they do to make ends meet? Some hooked. Some flooded only fans and camgirl sites; I knew a couple of those, and sheer supply and demand meant they didn't make squat. Another I knew freaked out because her day job closed for several months, and when it finally opened back up, she was limited to something like 15-20 hours/week. Bars and restaurants had no use for bartenders and waitstaff. Office jobs in some industries stopped hiring because it was too hard to hire and train a new employee over friggin Zoom calls (we had just done layoffs right before everything went shit, got crazy busy March 2020, got crazier every month since, and FINALLY are hiring two people...after losing four others to quitting and retirement over the last 11 months).
First time I went to a strip club was in 1999, and dances were $10 and $20. 20+ years later, it was the same. Every consumer good and service on the planet (except for big screen TVs) have had their costs increase exponentially over the decades. Got my license in 1997; gas in Phoenix was like 80 cents, and today it's that plus another $3. You could get a truck back then for $25k. Now they're double and triple that amount. But now that lap dances have gone up by $5 or $10, at the end of a crazy two-ish year period where the businesses and individuals providing your 'hobby' opportunities had their incomes plummet (some to zero), while (for many of you) your net worth substantially increased with the stock market...you're going to bitch and moan about it?!?
After the new year, I'm kicking the job replacement search into high-gear because the 'raises' my company gives don't keep up with inflation, and the annual bonus has decreased three straight years despite annually breaking revenue and profit records. In fact, with inflation, I've basically taken a pay cut the last couple years, ESPECIALLY this last year. So when I go get drunk in a strip club, maybe I spend a little bit less. Or maybe I cut back elsewhere (I did cut movie channels down to just HBO...and I don't even watch that). But whether they cost $20 or $25 or $30, or there's a $10 entry fee or a $5 cover, or what the fuck ever...I'm still going to spend the same X # of $. It just doesn't go as far as it did a year ago. And you know what? It doesn't go as far as it did at the gas pump, or the grocery store, or the liquor store. I'm more pissed off that a bottle of The Dalmore - King Alexander III now costs $310 + tax instead of $250 + tax, than I am about an extra $5 per lap dance at the fucking titty bar.
(aaaaaaaaaaaaand exhale)
That’s where I’m at. I’ve been doing this since 2010 and I’ve realized the experience now is almost unrecognizable compared to back then.
I’m not about to sell my house and move just for better strip clubs (or am I?). I’m thinking in 2022 I’ll just cut back to a few times a year and travel to the very best clubs.
Where i really draw the line and get frustrated is nickel and diming. House fee is $5 for the first three songs and $5 per song after that plus the room fee of $10 but we can only do 6 dances max in there otherwise we have to do the $20 room. If we do the $20 room you have to buy an extra two drinks for $10 each but the regular room is one drink minimum for $5. Etc.
Other TUSCLers, especially the dancers, can tell me if I'm wrong, but I think higher dance prices -- especially like $40 or $50 -- make it less likely dancers will make money than if the dances were $10 or $20. Hear me out:
I went to a club where dances were $40, but once an hour, there was a two-for-one special, and that was the only time guys got dances. The dances were topless, with little contact, and no VIP options were available, so other than watching topless stage dances, this was all there was to do. That means if guys only did those two dances, the girls made $40 for six minutes every hour, and for the other 54 minutes they made nothing.
When dances are $10 or $20, if I'm enjoying myself with a girl, I just keep the dances coming, one after the other, with no break whatsoever. If the dances are $20 and the songs are 3 minutes long, after half an hour the dancer gets $200 from me (and probably a tip). On the other hand, if the dances are $40 and I only get one, the girl has to spend time finding another customer willing to spend $40 for 3 minutes, and at that price, I suspect that most of her night will be spent not dancing -- during which time she will make nothing at all.
The $20 per vs 40 or 3/$100 tend to amount to similar spending patterns. Most spend either $40 or $100 regardless anyways. And the one who does $100, may want to have a drink before doing another $100–does’t matter where.
But on the flip side, if these dances aren’t getting sold, then it would be easier to hardball for OTC so from that pov I guess that would be a positive for some on here?
They phased out $10 single dances a while ago. Technically they are now only supposed to sell 5 for $100 15 minute VIP or Champagne room. They had 5/$100 VIP five years ago although back then you could negotiate down to $80 fairly often, but those days are gone.
I'm guessing in the near future we will see either 4 for 100 VIP or 5 for 125. But there always will be a give and take if the girls want to sell more dances for less money or work less but sell less. Being so close to TJ really does keep our sex work prices relatively low here.
Don't understand how places like Oz survive. Didn't they raise prices from 30-40 during Covid?
It seems that more places are doing the bulk vip dance option like 15 minutes for 100 and things like that.
Ive seen clubs with $100 covers $50 drinks $50 dances. Clubs where you have to get bottle service starring at $450 to sit....after a $60 cover charge.
Clubs with no dances where girls push customers into buying hookah and bottles
House fees going up for girls while they make less money coz of these kinds of club policies.
But something funny I noticed. Guys on here justify businesses price gouging on everything but bitch about strip club prices going up 🤡
Clubs are killing themselves with their attempt at a cash grab.
Only fans is better for girls at this point.
The most I've routinely paid was $600 for an hour. OTC, to one dancer. She was as hot looking as can be to me. She'd kiss me, and get very wet. She'd have an orgasm (or very convincingly fake one) from her boobs being kissed and fondled. But she ditched me after a year or so, didn't say why, but presumable because she didn't think $600 was enough $.
