Nightclub Promoter

Hollywood, CA

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.

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.

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

is there a difference between vegas promoters and the promoters in LA? I've noticed that vegas promoters give a lot more instructions as to where to go after the girls on the guest-lists arrive. However, the promoters in LA don't really do that.

Asked by juliatseng331@yahoo.com over 11 years ago

Vegas promoters are much more concerned about bottle clients and much less concerned about curiating a crowd since the crowd is mostly out-of-towners so there's little repeat business. Also the clubs are so big and expensive that you need bottle clients and bodies, not a handful of super attractive women. 

Also Vegas promoters are scummier.

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 know some promters that make money by creating a guest list. What is another way for a promoter to make money?

Asked by Deya over 11 years ago

Bottle service. Promoters get a cut of bottle sales they bring in

Are You familiar with Greystone Manor in Los Angeles? Whats the best thing to say or way to get in after fighting through the huge crowd and getting a promoter or a bouncers attention?

Asked by roro over 11 years ago

I live walking distance from it. It's not good anymore so "hey I'm not fat" should be enough.

If not, the standard rules apply. Bring girls, be nice, look good, know a promoter, show up early, and if all else fails, be ready to grease the bouncer.
