Single guys are required to pay more at clubs for entry compared to couples and single girls.. can this be potentially illegal as they use the same facilities? Where are all the swinger barristers or shall I call my friend who is a trainee lawyer

It is this way in order to entice more women to attend. If it was the same price for everyone, it'd be a sausage fest. Maybe good for gay/bi events but I very much doubt that you or any other guy would go or want to go again to a party where there's 90 men and 10 women.

There are multiple placed which charge different admission fees although all are using the same facilities.

Look at your local cinema, there are a variety of prices all for watching the same film. Your local museum for seeing the same exhibits. Your local swimming pool for using the same water. Your football team for watching the same goals.

to the amount of men that would go to a club based on the same night at the same potential price... yes!!!

you make the mistake of thinking that single tier pricing would make it cheaper for men to go, where in effect what would more likely happen is the prices would be raised to be the same as men.....

The Equality Act 2010 says you must not be discriminated against because:

you are (or are not) a particular sex (gender)someone thinks you are the opposite sex (this is known as discrimination by perception)you are connected to someone of a particular sex (this is known as discrimination by association)

In the Equality Act, sex can mean either male or female, or a group of people like men or boys, or women or girls.

There are four main types of sex discrimination, the most comkon of which is "Direct discrimination"

This happens when, because of your sex, someone treats you worse than someone of the opposite sex who is in a similar situation. For example:

a nightclub offers free entry to women but charges men to get in

The main issue I see soon is how do they distinguish between male and female as according to the general populous on the forums it's not a physical thing that distinguishes gender anymore, how one thinks mentally about who they are now.

It might not be long before we need to give proof at entry...

Exactly. Which would mean that there are quotas/ratios for each party, therefore many single guys wouldn't be able to attend for any chosen party. Me thinks that they wouldn't like a closed door a lot more that they don't like the difference in price.

Yes and No, because the second most common type of sexual discrimination is "Indirect Discrimination"

Indirect discrimination happens when an organisation has a particular policy or way of working that applies in the same way to both sexes but which puts you at a disadvantage because of your sex. For example:

an employer decides to change shift patterns for staff so that they finish at 5pm instead of 3pm. Female employees with caring responsibilities could be at a disadvantage if the new shift pattern means they cannot collect their children from school or childcare. Or men are charged more to enter a club purely because they're not female.

Yet another butt hurt single guy post.

Once in, all single guys have to wear is a skanky pair of boxers - £4.99 from M&S or a towel provided by the club.

Some conventional clubs prevent entry of single males let alone charge extra.

Women are expected to wear sexy underwear and heels. How much? £60-£70?

I am not a lawyer, but I believe that private clubs are entitled to charge whatever they like for entry/membership - people can either pay it or look elsewhere.

"It is this way in order to entice more women to attend. If it was the same price for everyone, it'd be a sausage fest. Maybe good for gay/bi events but I very much doubt that you or any other guy would go or want to go again to a party where there's 90 men and 10 women.

I’d go to that party "

Trust me, you wouldn't like it. I've been to one where there were about 30 men and 3 women and had to leave after half an hour because it was non-stop guys trying to "talk" to me and it became literally overwhelming. Hated it and always try to go to parties that I know have an almost equal ratio.

The Equality Act has an exemption, though; "a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.”

It is a legitimate aim of sex clubs to have the right mix of people. I don’t imagine a club would have too much difficulty arguing that single men are more expensive to host, so you’ve covered the price difference, too.

I'm a lawyer. I have argued this many times on here, but basically arguing that gender based pricing is lawful is always going to be very difficult.

If a man brought a county court equality act claim against a club I think he would probably win.

"Where are those feminist... Don't they need equal treatment as men here... Why don't you pay same amount as single men

I have no problem with the clubs reducing the price to £5 per head, as long as they ensure that the proportion of Males/ Couples/ Females remains roughly as it is now.

Reduce the price by £5 ...lol so, single ladies get £5 quid if they visit.... You do realise in most clubs, fem go free... "

I said "to" £5. As in for everyone. And yes. I do realise.

As a poster above said though- maybe it would stop the desperate sense of entitlement "some" single men demonstrate in clubs.

A club would be likely to argue that they need to attract women and the only way to do this is to limit men by price. The problem with that argument is that. (a) facilitating casual sex may not be seen as a "legitimate aim" and. (b) even if it was, rationing by price is unlikely to be seen as a "proportionate means".

Totally agree. My question to the poster though was about why he thought single men were more expensive to host, as in an actual cost to the club. I don’t see how that could be the case.

I look forward to the day when private clubs have to adhere to the same equality legislation as other businesses. At present they have a great get-out position that other businesses don't and it's no fair.

In 2018 equality should be the norm and anything else should be as repugnant as extreme abuse.

It is likely to be sexual discrimination but the complainant would only be able to recover the damages that they could demonstrate and it would be an expensive process. Presumably the club would argue that the single women attracted the single men and, thus, it was a commercial decision

Clubs would have to basically argue that they were needed the women as bait. Can't see a court backing that type of business model.

Normal night clubs argued against this law when it first came in, it fell on deaf ears.

I think you are missing the point..

this question normally comes up every couple of months....

the answer is no!!! because there are exemptions in the SDA that allow for pricing to encourage under-represented groups of people......

Women/couples are under-represented group of people? Seriously?

Yup they are. Especially single females. As a single female i wouldnt feel comfy going to a club alone"

But you would feel comfortable if it was cheaper for you than your male counterparts?

There is some interesting information around this area on the Government website about how the Equality Act regulates the way in which private clubs and other types of associations treat their members.

Regarding the definition of a Private Club or Association, it is not "a club which is open to members of the public simply on payment of an entry fee, such as a night club or a gym – these are covered by different provisions which apply to service providers." but rather somewhere that "has rules (not necessarily formal or written) regulating who can be a member and there is a genuine selection process for members."

It goes on to say that "It is unlawful for a private club or other association to discriminate against, harass or victimise an existing or potential member or an associate. (An associate is someone who is not a member but who has some or all of the rights of a member because they are a member of an affiliated private club.) A club cannot refuse membership, or grant membership on less favourable terms (such as by applying different conditions or fees) because the person has a protected characteristic - disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation."

Regarding Positive Action it says "Some people with protected characteristics are disadvantaged or under-represented, or have particular needs linked to their characteristic. Positive Action provisions in the Act enable private clubs and other associations to take proportionate steps to encourage membership among under-represented groups, or to help people overcome their disadvantages, or to meet their needs."

So, I guess the club's argument would be they are allowed to charge differently based on sex under Positive Action provisions.

Ermmm you can limit the numbers.. but charge same rate.. would women won’t attend if they had to pay the same rate? "

You limit the number by turning single males away each time they turn up, because the club as it's quota of guys ..the problem with that is, the males would not bother going at all because of the fear of being turned away and the wasted time on their part ..like getting ready for the club. The traveling to the club and so on. It would end up with a club with no males in it

So do women only attend because its free entry?

Or do tbey attend because of the experience, the socialising and if they choose so the sex they may be a part off?

Would women no longer go if entry fee was a tenner or 20 quid?

So.... Case in point in support of the guys.... At one club I know it used to be entry for guys that are members is £33, on a guys first visit he has to pay membership fees of £70 on top of the entry fee meaning that in just one night he's paid out a ton just to get in.

Women and couples pay much less.

Whilst it's not right I can totally see where SOME (again, mrinstatiable!) guys go in with an expectation of sex. They soon get told though lol

"For anyone complaining about not getting the female discount, how would you incentivise women to attend your club?

So do women only attend because its free entry?

Or do tbey attend because of the experience, the socialising and if they choose so the sex they may be a part off?

Would women no longer go if entry fee was a tenner or 20 quid?"

I’m my experience single women are rare in clubs as it is. I’m sure those that do don’t attend solely because it’s cheap, but I’m quite sure that paying full price would be a deterrent.

So how do we encourage single women to attend, if not with a discount?

Maybe they should pay the same as couples then..its not full price and then guys can get a discount.

Would be a good start.

Answer me this..

You think if women and couples had to pay a bit more and that a guys costs was reduced to be a little bit more balanced..do you believe the clubs would then become empty and soon close as some has suggested?

Surely that doesn't make men the tight arses then it makes the females and couples the tight arses for not wanting or willing to pay a lil bit more seeing as they get the most from these clubs as single guys arnt gaurenteed any "fun" they are at the whim of the females and couples if they get fun.

So you think increasing the price women pay will encourage more of them to attend? I’m not convinced that would work.

To us swinging is with couples hence we prefer couples only nights. We've been put off going on a mixed night as far too many single men flowing trying to push in playroom. Maybe we were unlucky but they will get nowhere with us with this behaviour. Trying another club see what dynamics are but it's the desperate males that spoil it for the genuine social ones. We wouldn't attend a club swarming with single males outnumbering couples, but some might everyone is looking for different things

I would still go. I’ve paid a £20 entry fee on a couple of occasions and it didn’t bother me. Not sure how much the guys were paying but I think it was £50

Exactly. Desires and expectations are different for all. For me (and i am not assuming a gender trait but possible), i meet guys one-to-one and desire a good holistic experience - this has nothing to do with an orgasm. If it did I'd stick with my wand - cheaper experience and almost guaranteed. Clubs and meets - orgasms are once in a blue moon. I imagine for the majority of single men it's about getting their rocks off.

By your own admission, you haven't been to a club. I have seen application for a guestlist (for a club that works with quotas) and for every 20 guys, there's 1 woman that applies, even with the prices being uneven. If you charged a flat rate, you'd get 100 guys to 1 woman, not only because women wouldn't get an incentive to attend if the price was higher but because the guys' numbers would massively increase if the price was lower, resulting to masses of them being turned away and ultimately get fed up of being turned away.

Have you read ALL the responses in this thread? A LOT of good points were made as to why the pricing tier works this way.

It's Social night out for us, meeting friendly people, having a laugh going with the flow fun following. Too many single men don't get this & try to jump in. I'm sure they aren't all like this but to not have some vetting/filtering system by club would result in men only in clubs surely

Choose clubs wisely, different nights for different people. The reason certain nights are more expensive for males is they don't want them nights overrun by them. Hotwife nights they want loads. Organised events with guest list the organiser balances out singles to couples ratio. We go to some events and its £60 per couple others £20.

Ok so from what im gathering is this...

If most women and couples was charged 30-50 pound entry fee they wouldnt attend anymore making it a sausage fest and will soon close.

Well let's say the single men devolped that same mentality and stopped attending becsuse of the cost of entry.

The clubs lose there main source of cash income.

There for increasing prices for women and couples anyway..then they stop going then closure.

Seems to me everyone needs everyone for it to work. So there should be a more balanced payment scheme.

You say clubs dont charge more than twice as much for single guys.

Now i dont know the pricing for clubs but just seeing the numbers thrown out here its free for single women, couples pay a smaller figure and guys pay upto 50 pounds?

That seems like more than double to me.

If a girl gets in free then basicaly no matter what they charge a guy...a guy will always be paying 100% more than a women.

If a club charged a women a quid and a guy 50pound hes paying 50 times the cost of a woman.

Trust me, you wouldn't like it. I've been to one where there were about 30 men and 3 women and had to leave after half an hour because it was non-stop guys trying to "talk" to me and it became literally overwhelming. Hated it and always try to go to parties that I know have an almost equal ratio.

No I’d love that "

"Which law are they breaking? It's a private club it's their rules don't like it don't go

Technically it is actually a breach of The Equality Act 2010. Did someone say they wanted a lawyer....?

So how does that law work and why has in never been implemented in the case of the ops question?

Got my attention now

The Equality Act 2010 says you must not be discriminated against because:

you are (or are not) a particular sex (gender)someone thinks you are the opposite sex (this is known as discrimination by perception)you are connected to someone of a particular sex (this is known as discrimination by association)

In the Equality Act, sex can mean either male or female, or a group of people like men or boys, or women or girls.

There are four main types of sex discrimination, the most comkon of which is "Direct discrimination"

This happens when, because of your sex, someone treats you worse than someone of the opposite sex who is in a similar situation. For example:

a nightclub offers free entry to women but charges men to get in

"

But there are exceptions for private members clubs - like gentlemen only clubs for example.

Swingers clubs are all licenced as private members clubs, which gives them different standards to follow & they are not breaking the law by charging a different pricing structure for men, women & couples. It’s also how some clubs can legally exclude T-Girls and how they can exclude people based on gender or sexuality from certain events (men only, women only, bi nights etc)
