Tonight i went to ikandi and meet some really nice and funny people outside the door in the lovely rain.. Huge thank ye to those whom helped me out and i would like to get in touch with ye... however this was not to be.. three times i was refused entrance as well as a few others and told to wait outside in the rain til the crowd died down a bit and still refused by a very ignorant guy who is not a fan of huge crowds. now im not one for posting up stuff but certainly want to make a point.. it has certainly put a damper on my interest in going there again soon.. but i want to thank those whom i meet in the rain and those on the end of the phone.. just wasnt meant to be im afraid .. |

Eamon is a bit of an ass he the guy at reception. We been there a few times and he changes his mind about things so often. Its a great place and eamon should have know what is the max amount of people he could have. |

From what I've heard his a greedy fuck the Propetier and in fairness I'm not surprised this happened as he clearly wasn't prepared or counting in the crowd that showed ip, and then unable to accommodate the numbers left people outside....bottom line is as these people are swingers they won't be on Joe Duffy complaining about it afterwards either.

Sounds like a right letdown. Where is this club and who runs it? The chuckle brothers?
Not sure I would try a club they all sound a bit seedy, ones in England I looked up sounded more like brothels. Couldn't get a feel of what they are like at all.
Making the time etc to go isn't easy either, smile though could be worse, I'm sure you'll get plenty of extra offers since this thread and there are a few parties coming up!
Better luck next time. |

Sorry to hear about your troubles at the door. Thats awful. We were all waiting for a good bit outside but not as bad as you. Hope you change your mind and come again as I thought the crowd and venue were lovely. ( once we got in lol) xx |

But the problem is they paid in advance for a service and excepted to be able to enter the party espically when it was ment to be a private party. Eamon shouldn't have refused her and if it was an issue of too much people showing up he should have warned animal that his business can allow only so many people in due to health and safety. And not take money when the number was reached. Its simple he was just greedy. I dont blame the people who tried to bring a fab party to the area. Its the owner I blame. |

You should get your money back! They made a mistake with the numbers. After you travelling that far, and the cost! Just to be turned away at the door! I never went, and will not be thinking of going in the future ever! Sorry to hear you had a terrible experience! |

Just to get this right, to get in you need a code, just like getting on a plane you need a ticket, so if you bring a plane ticket to fly to France you can't get on a flight to get to America, This seems like a person is following procedure again. If you forget your pin number for your laser card, the ATM will not let you withdraw cash. Can't exactly blame the man on reception it. Fair enough maybe his attitude was a bit rough but he was following procedure if this was the case |

Plus....naughtyduo wished me luck and we are friends...they were not refused admission!!!!Your the only person who was refused to my knowledge and yes i was asked about you when inside i said you never contacted me i never met you so yes i too refused your admission.... |

Two questions clear this up...
Had you paid in advance?
Was a code texted to you and did you present it at reception?
If the answer is no to either then regardless of the tact of Eamonn he was right to refuse admission. The system however slow and frustrating it was, was there to protect those who had followed the admission process.
Of course it is not nice to be refused admission but admission control is vital. |

We arrived with another couple and were pretty much last in,gave our assigned passwords and names straight in no problem.
There were a bunch of people arguing at the door and not having passwords who were (rightly I feel) stopped.
In fairness ye could be the sunday world.
That's not to say the entry policy is perfect.We are not comfortable giving our full names, addresses and credit card details to unverified source.
I have to say it was a great night inside,DJ sean upstairs was pumping out better tunes than most limerick nightclubs and it was pretty wild in there from the get go.
Id like to see this place a success. |

just to make this clear we were not at the event as we would not have made it we did not look to go or were not refused at the door as we were not in limerick lastnight.our profile name was brought up due to a simple comment

regardless of codes or what ever he should of never let u wait outside in the cold and rain in anyway he should just drop the codes and use usernames from here i have to say when i was reading the website its very confusing of what he charges eg one min its 50 for a couple then its 30 maybe it was a miss understanding last night but tbh its after kind of turning us off going in the future anyway i aint getting invold but he really should scrap the code system an replace it with some thing else |

"Thanks revamp good to see ye to.. anyhow matter closed now as far as im concerned i drove home again after thank ye for the help xx"
I spoke to your friend he's down on the list as a single man....
James is the name....its not my fault or eamons fault...
I was asked to admit you...i refused! You weren't on my list and i have no saved mails from you...im sorry your disappointed you should have contacted me even a few days before id have tried to sort it!
Again...its unfair for you but it was no fault of mine or eamons!!! |

Scrapping codes and just using usernames would not be very secure as lots of ppl like to post on the forum that they are going to the party. There is the risk you could get fakes; chancers or jounalists turning up and using the username of someone who posted on the forum.......security of everyone would be at risk. The present system is very slow and tedious but its necessary. Maybe they might revisit their admission policy and come up with a more streamline way of dealing with admissions.......or extend the reception area so ppl don't have to queue in the cold and rain.
I would just like to say to Anniemal thanks for organising the night. I've no doubt you put a lot of time and effort into it so well done guys xxx |

"its all sorted now so thats the end of it as far as im concerned... politeness goes miles "
Would telling the whole story be considered politeness or is that another thing that's over and done with now. Just asking mind. |

Plenty of other venues that dont use codes for people attending there partys like the one in dublin for an example we only used and got asked for our username at the door and have posted on the fourms that we are going we arrived at the place they asked us for our username no problem curvycouple88 that grand 40 euro there ya go and in we went in under 1 no journalists no noting the taxi service knows about the club an so on dunno why ikandi have to use a code system makes no sence and anyway if journos wanted to find the building its printed in black&white with dates of swinger partys on there website for anybody too see with directions to the building people said there was a que outside what if a journo had of bin there last night quite easly could have taken peoples photos and blasted them all over the papers if the code system was scrapped he would not have that issue thats all im saying |

Ikandi is a private members club! And discression is a priority for us and all the couples,its the rules of a legal legitimate run business,and its up to them what way they choose to run the business,i love the extra security of the place |

God it's not rocket science .. You get a code you save it in your phone and you give it when you arrive. This event has to be treated as a private party , would you show up at the door and expect entry if you had not recieved a bona fide invite ? I don't think so.
I think it's unfair to start a post calling the club up when the poster was economical with the facts.
Well done hosting it Annimal .. It's a lot of work ! I have learned you will never please everyone so just please your selves !

Don't think security had anything to do with this case, the op never made any proper arrangement to insure entrance and was refused. Now changing all sorts of security measures when the person isn't even on the list, has no confirmation of being on a list won't make a blind bit of difference |

We had a fantastic time last night thanks to Anniemal and the ikandi. One of the reasons we were so comfortable going was the strict rules and security that were used as our privacy and discretion is our upmost importance to us. The unique coding I think is a brilliant idea as it makes it so much more secure I would wish that all events had this system. The club was fantastic and we have been to alot in Europe and ikandi would be so much better then them. I personally found Eamon to be very nice and polite and we will be going back for sure. Thanks again Anniemal you ran a fantastic event xx |

i attended this event last night and had to queue, briefly... it was drizzling a bit, but I wasn't worried about getting a little wet .. it certainly didn't dampen the mood.. there was great banter amongst those in the queue... when I got to "check-in" access was instant, after I provided my security code...
imho, a lot of times it's not the establishment that cause delays but the clients who do not supply the correct or conflicting information... and this ultimately slows down the entire process... systems are in place for a reason and if we don't like it and it's not necessary then we don't have to engage with it... to bitch and whine, especially when some people didn't even experience it or the club smarts of looking to disagree for the sake of it...
anyone queuing that felt their privacy was being threatened had the option at any time to just turn around and leave...
congrats to Annie for a job well done and anyone here who's ever hosted/organised knows exactly how time consuming this can be... |

This was a private party and not an open club night so naturally security had to be tight as things could have easily got out of hand. Certainly the entrance process was slow and could have run smoother but this was the first time an event of this magnitude has been run at this venue so perhaps to be expected. Ireland is not exactly awash with swing clubs so personally would like to see this place succeed. As for last night we had a great time thanks so much to Anniemal for organising rather you than me guys |

We have been to iKandi a good few times now and love it. Yes there was a little wait to get in last night but this is not the norm, considering how many people were there last night I think it went very well, most people had a great time in a very relaxed place.
We will continue to go to iKandi and hope others are not put off by the small slip up with door control.
Thanks Anne and Paul for a brill night
We had a great time.
Hope to see you soon |
