Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

Male, 32

I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.

I am going to be 21 on may 15th an I'm looking for a good club hip hop in Hollywood. I am having a party bus an it will be about 20-25 of us. Also is there any clubs that has service entry discounts with this many people that I am bringing.

Happy Early Birthday! Sounds like it's going to be a sloppy night.

If you park your car anywhere in Hollywood on a typical night, you'll come back to your car covered in flyers for clubs, many of which will offer discounted entrance. Otherwise, find an awful promoter and he'll offer you the same.

(Cntd) dont want them, but they spend alot of their time trying to crawl up the model arses. Desperatly wanting them as 'Girlfriends' but most model dont want them they want a z-list celeb to date so the promoters are stuck banging uglies. True?

Let's not debate what makes  a "model" which really could be anything, I've met some beat models. But yes, the most attractive/quality girls don't want a promoter boyfriend. They'll bang em once but if a chick is hot she wants to do better than a scumbag promoter. 

The PR manager of one of the biggest clubs in LA has banned me because I slept with his girlfriend. Is he allowed to do that? How much money do club PR managers usually make in opposed to regular promoters? He claims to be Loaded..

First of all, that's awesome. Kudos to you, I imagine she was hot. Please send pics. 

I'm guessing there's no legal statutue that says you are allowed into nightclubs despite banging the manager's giftfriend. So you're probably going to have to go somewhere else.

Like most people in nightlife, they don't make much. You don't do that job for the money

I'm throwing a Halloween Party (it falls on a Friday), but I don't know many ppl, so I want to hire 2 friends who know a lot of ppl. I'm thinking to charge $ 40 as presale. (I rented a warehouse). How much cut should I give them? Thx.

Asked by LO_Ris over 9 years ago

Depends on your profit margins after renting the venue, etc. I assume you want to make a profit? $5-10 would be typical

I'm starting an event company. How do I Promoter my events and the vip bottle service that goes with It.

Asked by sweetbelmont about 10 years ago

Promoting = hiring a promoter. It's right there in the name.

How do I become a club promoter? I currently live in the uk and looking to take a year out and want to work as a club promoter.

Asked by Jasmina buhalfaia almost 9 years ago

See previous answer to question that begin with "Starting from scratch....."

How do u become friends with bouncers/managers? At this really exclusive club, my friends have become buddies with them and get greeted. I go often but not as much, and they still ID me out of the whole group, its embarrassing. How can I change this?

You have to meet those guys outside of the club. In LA, a lot of them train MMA so joining an MMA or Jiu-jitsu gym is a good way.
