"Who feels that it is Single Guys that keep most of these clubs afloat! With there over inflated prices for Guys! £30 for couple and Single Guys and only £10 for TVs etc" £30 entrance for several hours of music, chance to meet loads of great sexy people, watching others have sex and the possibility of having sex. Obviously the chance to swap details and arrange meet ups in the future. I am sure guys can spend £30 easily on a meal or a night out with mates. I really can't see the issue. | |||

"I think its more expensive to deter non genuine people from overfilling the club and driving couples and ladies away, plus its easier than turning guys away at the door if they were to say charge a tenner but have a numbers limit. Just my thoughts on it anyway for what its worth" This ^^ | |||

"Yes, OP, single men do get charged more than couples or TVs/women. Yet there are still tons of guys in swingers clubs who don't mind paying for the use of facilities (there are usually hot tubs and saunas in clubs). How much is it to go to a spa, just for hot tub/sauna/steam room, without even getting any treatment? And you have no chance of seeing any 'action' in a spa, whereas you probably would in a swingers club. And maybe, just maybe, if you're respectful and chatty enough, you might actually get on in the action? I have never seen anyone complaining about the prices of spa entries, so why complain about swingers clubs every prices when you can get so much more, potentially? " Main reason ive been to clubs is for the hot tub  | |||

I think there seem to be too many guys who don’t compare the cost with that of a “normal” night out, and don’t think about the social side of it. Especially since having the mindset of it being about the social and anything else is a bonus, is then actually the mindset that is more likely to mean you get lucky! | |||

"Who feels that it is Single Guys that keep most of these clubs afloat! With there over inflated prices for Guys! £30 for couple and Single Guys and only £10 for TVs etc" . In London we have two members only clubs where the price is £30 -£40 on a Tuesday between £50 to £80 on a Friday or Saturday night so I would have no problem paying £30.I have paid £50 on a Friday and £70 on a Saturday and I have always had a good time.Yes it maybe is us single guys that keep clubs afloat but we are all adults and it’s something I don’t think will change with regards to the price structure for single guys so I don’t worry about it.This may sound harsh and apologise in advance if anyone is offended but if we don’t like it we don’t have to go after all we are all adults and can make our choices we know what we can and can’t afford. | |||

To put in perspective - the cost of the last few entertainment venues I’ve been to, 1, Arsenal home game £145 inc travel (crap result) 2, Harry Potter World £60 inc travel 3, Cursed child show £200 inc travel The last night out I had with mates cost £90, on the whole i think £50 or under for a singleton is good value.... yes there’s no promises of any play taking place I hear you say, but that’s where the polite effort comes in hand before the event, making contact and chatting to people that have also said they are attending. | |||

"Who feels that it is Single Guys that keep most of these clubs afloat! With there over inflated prices for Guys! £30 for couple and Single Guys and only £10 for TVs etc" It's dead easy, if there's too many blokes then the couples and ladies won't go. If there's no couples or ladies then the guys won't go. If you put the prices up it will reduce attendance, so price will stop there being as many blokes. Cal | |||

"Who feels that it is Single Guys that keep most of these clubs afloat! With there over inflated prices for Guys! £30 for couple and Single Guys and only £10 for TVs etc" Most of the clubs I go to rely very heavily on single guys for their income, I’m sure most do. I don’t have an issue with that. A night out at a swing club is still considerably cheaper than going to an average nightclub in a town in the UK. I’m sure it would be lovely if things were cheaper, but it costs a lot of money to run these places and the money needs to come from somewhere. You can always vote with your feet  | |||

"Pay it or don't simple choice really. I'm desperate to go to a club but unfortunately I'm deterred to go alone as unsure of how I would be regarded. In that couples and singles don't seem to want to talk on here let alone face to face in a club. Just my opinion %) "Pick the right club and couples will talk to you no problem, it's more like a semi naked social in clubs. We always chat with single guys at the bar (although we do say we aren't looking to play) although we dont chat on fab with them. Sam goes as a single male when I'm working or away and does say the dynamic is very different but the same rules apply, polite and courteous without expectation and you'll have a great time. | |||

They need to let women and couples in for free/ cheaper because they are the bait to get the men in. £££££ | |||

"We've joked about clubs paying us because at times we've been treated like the entertainment but we're never serious! Clubs need to keep their numbers balanced and since men number everyone else, it's one way to do it. They also need to make sure to draw in the women/couples so it makes sense to give them the cheeper price. I do wish more clubs would do guest passes. It's a huge risk to test out a new club and pay close to £100 sometimes just to find out you don't like the club. It's actually happened to us before. Heard great things about a club, paid for the £50 membership because they didn't offer any guest options. Really disappointed with the club and doubt we'd ever go back. On the other hand we've had guest visits and signed up for membership on the way out because we loved it so much. " I wonder if it's just crap clubs that won't do guest passes. Because people won't go back so charge more the first time. | |||

I just checked your prices though and they're pretty average for what we pay as a couple after membership. It honestly makes it more likely that we would visit while passing some time. We've heard good things about the club anyway but knowing you don't have to pay for membership as a 1 time visit makes it much more appealing to have a little detour to the club. | |||

The higher priced clubs, more than exclusivity, indicates more of a level of commitment and to our minds respect there. And the parties are all entry vetted anyway so granted price is somewhat immaterial. Regardless of anyone’s vocation, as a general rule if people are paying 100+ for entry they are more likely to be committed to the lifestyle and less likely to be just trying their hand in a tracksuit. Granted the disparity in pricing maybe isn’t the best way to control numbers in a place, and seems to be what you have the problem with rather than actual cost, maybe an even cost with a limit on numbers would be fairer. We agree with that, but we also like what we like, and if there’s an option to be in a nice place when we play then we’ll take it. | |||

"Who feels that it is Single Guys that keep most of these clubs afloat!

The rest is just tolerance. Save your money if you feel aggrieved, and use Fab for private meets, which I personally find an easier route for meeting genuine, likeminded fun seekers  | |||

"but that doesn't make sense the builder type guys earn decent money how does that have a bearing on who enters the club and most clubs restrict single guy entry anyway, the club lifestyle doesnt necessarily attract the chic and unfair pricing doesnt achieve what you are seeking, for me the unfair pricing puts me off going and I'm extremely smart and can afford it
Its rare that we would visit a club in the U.K, would most likely be a private party or event as we prefer to go to actual clubs abroad. The higher priced clubs, more than exclusivity, indicates more of a level of commitment and to our minds respect there. And the parties are all entry vetted anyway so granted price is somewhat immaterial.
Regardless of anyone’s vocation, as a general rule if people are paying 100+ for entry they are more likely to be committed to the lifestyle and less likely to be just trying their hand in a tracksuit.
Granted the disparity in pricing maybe isn’t the best way to control numbers in a place, and seems to be what you have the problem with rather than actual cost, maybe an even cost with a limit on numbers would be fairer. We agree with that, but we also like what we like, and if there’s an option to be in a nice place when we play then we’ll take it.
"yes i understand what you want but dont get your reasoning at all eg a commitment to the lifestyle because you pay a £100 to get across the threshold all it indicates is that you have a £100 to spend that night | |||

"Probably going to be unpopular, and will try and word this in a way that doesn’t make us sound like assholes, but we wouldn’t go to a club that was only £30 for a couple or single guy. When we go out we get dressed up nicely, we spend time getting ready and want to have a nice night in decent surroundings, and around likeminded people of a similar demographic. We wouldn’t plan a night out around a burger and pint for a fiver night at the local, so the same applies to a club. To our mind the more expensive and strict the door policy the better. This isn’t to be judgemental of what everybody likes and how they have their fun, there is a full spectrum of places to cater to everybody’s interests in swinging, same as restaurants, same as hotels, we just like to experience it at the top end, and wouldn’t go somewhere that would dilute that. " That rules out all clubs north of the midlands then and you would be ruling out some excellent clubs | |||

"Who feels that it is Single Guys that keep most of these clubs afloat!

While ever single guys are prepared to pay the asking price clubs will continue to charge what they think guys will pay. Charge too little and a club becomes swamped with single guys and all the couples and females stop going. That in turn would stop the single guys going and the club dies. | |||

" Are you personally going to challenge it legally? I have asked this question many times over the years, nobody has ever said they would. So is somebody, anybody, prepared to do this? What would the out come be? Probably the end of clubs, as clubs are forced to charge men less, less women and couples go, less men go cos there are no women/couples. Clubs close, but hey at least we have equality.But for the sake of equality are YOU prepared to challenge it? Again if you don't agree with the pricing, don't go. Spend your money elsewhere. | |||

Don't come in here with your common sense and logic, this is no place for it.
Make the single male price point too low and clubs would probably be full of men no one wants too meet, make it too high and they'll turn up with a sense of cost = entitlement.
As a single male who goes to clubs regularly I have no problem with the price structures.

For example the entry price is £50 for all. Reductions are given for couples and single fems(e,g £30 or £40 off) to encourage them to attend, cos if not you would have 1. A club full of men or 2. An empty club. The people moaning just don't understand the basics and they are NOT prepared to challenge legally. Again anyone prepared to take it to court???? No one? | |||

"I’m a single male and don’t mind the more expensive fee... it discourages males looking for quick shag and encourages coupes / females. Also it’s a business model that works, males are the ones (married, coupled, single) that are the more likely to visit swinging clubs on their own. So why shouldn’t the owners capitalize on this? Most of the clubs I’ve been too, reinvest into the club. As a single guy, I know if the club charges £10-£20 door entry. I’m going to be faced with guys with lack of hygiene (stink) guys openly masturbating and other weirdos! It’s why I prefer a club that charges £30+ and an annually membership on top. Stops males looking for local places to drop into! And from memory, I don’t recall anyone forcing me to go into any of the clubs? So if you don’t like it.... don’t go! " Top answer. | |||

Guys send a txt message to the club with their name and membership number normally between 12.00 pm - 5.00 pm the names are then put into a electronic hat ( that is what it says on the website ) then the 5 guys who are selected are sent a txt message saying they can attend | |||

"For all the people who say they don’t see what the issue is. This is what people used to say when b&b’s had signs up saying no blacks. When employers used to say to women, if you don’t like us paying men more for doing the same work, go and look elsewhere. Clubs get away with it because no one has challenged them. Club owners are poor business people, anyone who can’t run a business without discriminating against one group of their customers should be criticised not have couples and others supporting them because it doesn’t affect them. I think you went a little bit too far. Clubs are not discriminating against single guys. As it was pointed out before, swinging in its original understanding was a way for couples to swap partners, not for single guys to pick up women. Also, swingers clubs are, normally, private members clubs (not exactly businesses as such) and they are allowed to set the rules they want. If you don't like the rules of one, look for another club that you like the rules of. If there are none you like, just don't go. Nobody forces you to go to a swingers club. I would think that the tax man views private member's clubs as businesses. Not sure what your point is or what it's got to do with a price point differentiation discussion. The point being made is that the excuse that’s normally used is they are a private members club, so the laws that apply to other business don’t apply to them. I do not thar fab doesn’t charge different fees for site supporters." You're making totally invalid comparisons. What does Fab site supporters rates have to do the price point differentiation in clubs? You're really stretching to try and make a point. | |||

"Really recommend couples that aren’t looking for guys. Go on nights where guys can’t go. They are so much more fun and without having to keep your wits about you. Or just head to the couples only areas as soon as you can. " In the main I think they do? That’s the reason why most clubs have dedicated nights? My main gripe is that most clubs have couples only on a Saturday night, they should alternate is slightly so some have them on a Friday and some on a Saturday, it would give everyone a bit more choice | |||

As a single female, I prefer females and couples, I am very very picky when it comes to single males and if I see that an event/party is going to be 'cock heavy' as I call it, I avoid because majority are there for one thing and one thing only, I go for socialising and being around like minded people. I don't appreciate being followed round by blokes wanking and asking if I am playing, that is disrespectful and therefore I do avoid cock heavy events/parties xx | |||

What is the difference between a sex club and brothel?
"A sex club is probably middle ground between a swingers club and a brothel. A brothel is where prostitutes are paid to have sex. Swingers have sex for free. | |||

Can you point out in law where it actually says this, not what some club owner has said. Also, because it’s legal, doesn’t mean it’s not discriminatory. Like I said above it used to be legal to put signs up in a hotel saying no black people, until people started to challenge these things and it was made illegal. | |||

"In general, it is illegal for a pubs and clubs to discriminate against men or women, although there are some exceptions for private clubs. For example, a pub is not allowed to refuse to serve a woman a drink in a pint glass if men are served drink in pint glasses. Another example of sex discrimination is a club which offers free entrance only to women. However, a private members' club is allowed to discriminate against women or men in this way. Examples of a private members' club include working men’s clubs, golf clubs, bowling clubs, and gentlemen’s clubs." Taken directly from Citizen advice website I am not a lawyer so am not going to look for the exact section of the law which says you can but if the leading advice centre in the country says you can then I believe them. | |||

"Interestingly on the Continent the average is €100+ per single male to discourage those just looking for a shag (i.e. the price is above that for a hooker). Result is a club packed full of couples, and a limited number of single guys who are there for the 'mental buzz' rather than just to unload. Importantly the clubs make a packet as well. A risky strategy for many UK venues who are over-reliant on single guys....but if the strategy was adopted my guess is they'd get more couples....." I think the scene is very different here - couples are not in the majority in the UK & while couples & single female events are successful, I doubt there are enough people in this dynamic to sustain the clubs in the UK. I think that’s also why the single guy entry is much more affordable than that! | |||

"This has been discussed so many times and I will say the same as I always do: Equality Act 2010 - more details in a pdf here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/private-clubs-and-associations-quick-start-guide We Private members clubs can apply a different pricing structure to attract an underrepresented group if numbers are disproportionate; you can see more under the 'Positive Action' section above. If a private members club has a membership system, taking personal info, handing out membership cards and has 25 or more members, then they can legally charge underrepresented people less if they feel it would attract them into the club. We know from Fab alone that guys outnumber ladies and couples by an awful lot and the same is seen in clubs. So clubs may want to charge less for ladies and couples to encourage them to attend. Now, not all clubs have this disparity in entry fees. For instance, couples and guys are charged the same on a lot of our week day nights; we just manage our ratios through strict guestlists. On Saturdays we charge just £5 more for guys and just allow 8 guys in who must be members already. This extra fiver is for the privilege of being 1 of a select 8 and being in high demand. We value our guys and try not rip them off. Instead we work hard to get to know guys through phone calls/messaging before they attend, so we know we are getting guys who genuinely get the scene. I don't think charging guys huge entry fees and membership discourages bad behaviour or sorts the wheat from the chaff or helps to curb numbers. As we have seen on here, for every guy who scoffs at the high entry fees there are loads who will pay it, so it doesn't control numbers. Instead of ripping guys off, it's better to offer a range of events to suit all interests (singles nights, couples nights, gangbang nights etc...) and people will attend what suits them and if they don't want loads of guys, then go to an event which is more number controlled or couples events. If clubs monitor attendees before they attend, monitor them when they're in attendance, offer a wide range of events and enforce the rules properly, then there is less need to control numbers through hugely disproportionate pricing. It takes more leg work on behalf of the club but that's their job...creating a safe environment for all to enjoy without feeling like a commodity. Vicky xx" You know what, you ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT!! Weve seen you a lot in the forums, visited your website and your love for the scene coupled with strict rules and events for all has made us put townhouse on our 'must visit' list.

"Who feels that it is Single Guys that keep most of these clubs afloat! With there over inflated prices for Guys! £30 for couple and Single Guys and only £10 for TVs etc £70-£90 at the private club in Birmingham so £30 is cheap. Private club in Birmingham isn’t a swingers club, it’s a sex club with paid hostesses What’s the difference? Absolute joke. You have no place on here and should have your membership revoked. Disgraceful. " Perhaps you should have read the rest of the thread before you attacked the man like this. Maybe you should apologise having done so. | |||

"I cannot understand why couples that don't want single men and bitch about them don't just go on couples nights. All the bitching puts men off coming and there are plenty of people only looking for single guys. Exactly this! I won't visit a club by myself any more, I either go with a friend, or have a pre-arranged meet inside. I've been snapped at, scowled at, and ignored too many times! A perfect example in a club very recently; I began chatting with a couple at the bar, and whilst the wife was really friendly and wanting to engage with me, the hubby stood between us, his arm very firmly on the bar, and kept his back to me. I knew my prescence was just being tolerated
I honestly don't blame you, don't get me wrong, alot of couples are lovely but there are a fair few that act like singles are just there to use and abuse. "This was on a themed party night, and I was one of only 4 single guys in. I’m guessing the regulars know to avoid party nights as a single guy, and I left around 11.30 | |||

"but that doesn't make sense the builder type guys earn decent money how does that have a bearing on who enters the club and most clubs restrict single guy entry anyway, the club lifestyle doesnt necessarily attract the chic and unfair pricing doesnt achieve what you are seeking, for me the unfair pricing puts me off going and I'm extremely smart and can afford it
Its rare that we would visit a club in the U.K, would most likely be a private party or event as we prefer to go to actual clubs abroad. The higher priced clubs, more than exclusivity, indicates more of a level of commitment and to our minds respect there. And the parties are all entry vetted anyway so granted price is somewhat immaterial.
Regardless of anyone’s vocation, as a general rule if people are paying 100+ for entry they are more likely to be committed to the lifestyle and less likely to be just trying their hand in a tracksuit.
Granted the disparity in pricing maybe isn’t the best way to control numbers in a place, and seems to be what you have the problem with rather than actual cost, maybe an even cost with a limit on numbers would be fairer. We agree with that, but we also like what we like, and if there’s an option to be in a nice place when we play then we’ll take it.
"sorry but people are people and their ability to pay for something has no reflection on their personality, there are plenty of utter cocks with rolex watches as there are with the great unwashed... Its about upbringing and empathy, something that isn't solely for the ABC1's to claim sole rights of. | |||

"Who feels that it is Single Guys that keep most of these clubs afloat!

I wonder how much a good seat at a premiere club football match would cost??? Thousands of men to this every week... | |||

Apart from that, males and females pay the same.....  | |||
