What does your local club charge?

[JustAskJulie]

I'm curious as to the prices of clubs across the country and what you think is too much to pay to visit a club? So if you've visited any clubs near you, what did they charge? And did you feel it was worthwhile?

We've visited 3 in our town (all off-premise), 1 has a bar and only charges $20 to enter. Two are typical (byob) hotel socials and the charge was $35-40.

The on-premise club in Nashville that we typically go to is $50 (byob) on Saturday (or $75 for the full weekend), plus a membership fee of $10/week (or $100/year).

Our regular off premises club is $40 plus whatever you spend at the bar. They usually have an afterparty and sometimes there is a donation of $20. The on premises clubs which are BYOB usually charge either $40 or $45.

Prices listed are couples charges and are more if you are a single male and less if you are a single female.

Here is the suggested donations for the RR in Vegas.

Local Couples. $30 for Six nights. Monday through Saturday.
Non-Local Couples $30 per night
Single women $10 each night
Single Men $40 on weeknights, $50 on Friday or Saturday night.

Sunday
Couples $20
Single men $30

Included is dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. BYOB every night.

The donations have not been changed in 26 years, same as the day Mike and Chris opened the RR.

Our regular club is off-premises, couples only, and BYOB with a bartender providing set-ups. Set-ups are included in the entry fee.

Fee is $40.00. There is no annual/monthly membership cost. Membership is free.

The hosts just try to break even or make just enough to do a few extra things for the club.

Gotta love NYC. Our regular public club is $110 initiation fee, plus $90/visit (visit fee waived the first night when you pay the initiation fee. BYOB but otherwise a fully functional club. Seems to be pretty typical, though we have by no means been to all of the local clubs.

We also go to semi-regular "donation" house parties which start at $80 and up. We've found them to be worth it, though, as they put on an amazing party!

We have three on-premise clubs.

One is a bar/night club, the are a membership club and charge $40.00/cpl on Saturday (couples only) with a $10.00 discount if you arrive before 10 PM on most Saturday nights. Saturday they include a snack bar and drinks are reduced price at the bar, most well and draft being $2.00, if I remember right. $10.00/cpl on Friday and single males are allowed but I don't know what they pay. I understand the fee for Friday will be raised at the end of July, but don't know what it will be raised to, drinks are regular price. Weeknights are free admission.

The next club is normally a gay/cross dresser bar and only has a swingers party one Saturday night a month. They charge $10.00 admission for couples and singles.

The last club is the newest one in town and they are a membership club and it is BYOB. they provide mixers and have a snack bar. They are also the only club with private rooms. They charge $35.00 per couple per weekend and $50.00 per night for single males. They are open Friday and Saturday nights only.

We have only been to one in the Phoenix area. Membership is $25/yr. On a Saturday night (8PM-5AM) they charge $30/couple. While this sounds cheap compared to some of the responses here, the club is rather bare. Small dance floor, limited mixers for drinks, relatively featureless play rooms, no pool or hot-tub, the list is endless.
We would love to see a nicer club sometime. We have heard of some great ones that are far away from the Arizona desert.

There are two clubs we frequent in the Orlando area.

The first is a bar in a hotel on the south side of town. The entry fee is $45.00for a couple and, from what I understand, is considerably higher for single men. I assume a single woman gets in no charge. There is a full bar and drinks range from $4.00 to $9.00 each. If you drink alot it can get pricey in a hurry.

The other is a house arrangement that asks for a "donation" of $40.00 for a couple and $75.00 for the few single males that are invited. A single woman gets in free naturally. A few mixers and some ice are provided by the host as well as some finger food on select nights.

The best club we've been to is in the Netherlands.

We paid 125 Euros (a little over $200 if my math is correct) to get in that night.

It was worth every euro cent...

to be fair, they did include drinks and food so it wasn't that bad in the long run.

On-premise clubs in southern California run $60 to $90 per couple, plus annual membership fees.

Fee-for-entry house parties tend to cost $20 to $40 per couple.

We most often attend small parties in private homes - usually ours -lol!- 6 to 10 couples, and there is no charge. The whole idea of paying entrance fees to meet other swingers isn't real attractive to us. Doesn't seem to be anywhere near the amount of playing going on at clubs and fee-for-entry parties as goes on at private parties, lots of people standing around but few actually playing.
