It is amazing how much money these clubs extract from people. They'd be better off playing blackjack and drinking for free.
How about $40 a free drinks for an hour. That will get people to the clubs you dolts!
$150 to $300 to just get through the door! Ouch! Must be some pretty flashy entertainment!
Somehow I think these wish list prices are going to plunge nearer to NYE. It is much better to fill all of the seats and charger a little bit less.
I want to see if they maintain those prices, and how well it pans out. This isn't last year, when people had more money. I honestly don't think 95% of people can afford $150+ to get in the door followed by god knows how much for drinks. These people are trying to ice skate uphill. They need to be more pragmatic and spread their nets over a wider area for smaller fish. Just hoping to catch whales will do no good.
The thought of spending New Years with Benji Madden is enough to make me throw up.
