Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

Xander

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.

Who do I contact to setup a performance at a nightclub? A promoter or the person who runs the club. Thank you.

The club's General Manager handles this

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 10 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

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 10 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. 

I am in need of ASIAN Girl Promoters in FLORIDA. Where would i go to search for these type of girls ? If you have any answers that would be great. Thank you $15/hr and bonus's

Asked by I need a Promoter over 9 years ago

Asian Girl Promoters from Florida sound like a really specific voting demographic.

You'd find them clubbing. You'll start seeing the same girls again and again. Go talk to them.

Also, move out of Florida.

Hi,
I am a DJ. I've played quite a few clubs in Houston and i moved to LA last year and have DJed here a few places too including Avalon. I'm trying to book more shows. Can you give me some advice on how i should go about doing that?
Thank you.

Asked by tj about 10 years ago

Meet as many club GM's as you can. Have a demo for them. Network a lot.

Avalon is still open? Wow

If I have enough money could I invest in or become a partial owner if a nightclub? Would that create opportunities for some temporary female companionship?

Asked by Doc over 10 years ago

The entire business is run on this principle. Take money from some rich, older "investors" who made their money in something boring (finance, real estate, oil and gas, insurance, etc) and sell them on being cool by owning a nightclub. And yes, it can get you laid. 

The film business works mostly the same way.
