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.

Hi, I am currently a college senior looking to make extra cash for tuition and stuff. I'm very fit and attractive so nightlife seems like a good way to make cash. What do I need to do to become a 'bottle service girl'?

Asked by premedgal over 10 years ago

Apply in person. It's 95% looks. The other 5% is mostly a high tolerance for skeezy guys

Do clubs ever use / give promoters lower quality alcohol than the outside of the bottle suggests? I don't know how they can make a profit with all these promoters popping ace of spades and cristal.

Asked by London over 11 years ago

They do. But it's because they are crooks not because they can't turn a profit.

If you see a promoter with Ace of Spades or Cristal it means a) a rich client bought it and the promoter is just stealing his thunder or 2) he sold many, many more bottles and the club made tens of thousands of dollars so they can afford to kick him a bottle that cost them $300.

No one is going to pay you more than you are worth to them

I am thinking of going to a club with my friends visiting and one of them is plus sized but super pretty and alaways dresses to impress. Will she have a hard time getting into clubs?

Asked by Kaithlyn about 11 years ago

Only if the club is good.

Is it easy going into clubs with a fake foreign id saying I'm 21 if I'm a tourist?? and actually 20 yr old.

Asked by gracie almost 11 years ago

If you are an attractive girl, yes. Much like most of life. If not, it will be

harder.

I have a couple chips from a really good club and they say COMP on the back. A friend of mine who always gets bottles gave them to me when he was pretty hammered.. I never asked what it was. Are they bottle comps?

Asked by Lexi over 11 years ago

Seems like he would be a better person to ask. 

It's likely a comp admission

Your opinion- how do you set the dj(non-commercial/top-40/pop hop) lineups for the night? What genre goes first, primetime, last? House, electro, dubstep, etc...

Asked by ilnguy808 over 11 years ago

Not up to the promoter. The DJ and general manager handle that. In general clubs offer different music on different nights to segment the crowds

do you have to be 18 or older to be a promoter

Asked by Kevin over 11 years ago

Yes
