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.

I was just offered to be a club promoter, seemed like great work whilst completing my Psychology Degree. Then I came across your blog, Satan must have engulfed 3 tons of ego and conceit and produced you, come down to earth, earn some pride.

Mom?

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.

Thanks for the cynical , upfront, and hilarious replies! Should be a regular column, addressing all aspects of life....lol

Thanks sir or madam. I couldn't agree more. It's about time Xander The Promoter became Xander the Life Coach. Like Oprah, all the best ones have a single name.

Did you party a lot as a nightclub promoter

Asked by Dmack about 12 years ago

If by party you mean do drugs, it depends. It's hard to stay up that late without some chemical assitance but most promoters stop at Red Bull or Adderral. 

If you mean party...like go out. Yeah that's the job.

I am opening a Teen Night Club on some events it will be 15 to 20 yrs old others will be 17+ never any alcohol. What would be the best way to promote this. On the 1st event I only had 32 people. Only doing 1 event every 1 to 2 months to start

Asked by Smittyy almost 12 years ago

Social media. Instagram and facebook are your best friends. Take some amazing pictures, even if it's all 32 people crammed on to a single bottle service couch.

Under 21 clubs suck.

What are the chances of my 20 year old friend getting in with us if we are 23-26? With a real ID? We are a group of 6 females.

Asked by helpMePlease over 11 years ago

Depends on the bar and the city. And how attractive she is.

Are nightclub promoters and bouncers a OFFICALY allowed to ask you for $$ ($100 per) to let you pass the line but not including entrance fee?
and if so do the promoters and bouncers pocket the cash or split the money among themselves?

Asked by Max over 12 years ago

Not technically. Bouncers get in more trouble than promoters. And for the most part the both just pocket the $.
