    Default Fees?

    I've only worked at one club in my lifetime. I'm about to branch out and I was just wondering what the average house fee was. Also, please tell me where you dance (at least the state).

    I for one, dance in NJ and pay $50 dollars to management on the weekdays and $90 on weekends (Th, Fri, Sat). Plus $25 to the DJ unless we do a birthday/bachelor party.

    So what are your fees like? How do weekdays and weekends compare?

    The fees in my club range from $20-65 depending on what time you arrive for nightshift. The earlier you get there, the cheaper it is. This stays constant all days of the week.
    If you get in good with the manager, he will give you discounted housefees.

    I'm in texas!

    If I get to the club before 8, I pay $10...before 9, it's $25 and then it goes up $10 every hour and I have to pay out the DJ $10...I work in South Florida. The highest tip out I have ever paid to the house is $40 in 2.5 years of working at like 10 different clubs, so personally, I think your tip out is very high. That's including the clubs I worked at in Maryland.

    I would point out that only asking about fees really doesn't cover the entire subject of the question ... which is how much total money a club winds up 'extracting' from dancers. In some areas it's common for clubs to charge close to zero in 'house fee', but at the same time the club will keep up to 50% of the customer's money. So for example if the norm for a particular club is to charge customers $20 for private dances, with the club keeping $10 and the dancer receiving $10, then for a typical night doing say 20 dances the club 'extracted' $200 from the dancer despite not charging a house fee. If a similar club charged even a $100 house fee, but allowed the dancer to keep the entire $20 private dance price, if the girl does 20 dances she's actually $100 better off in terms of nightly take-home earnings.

    My clubs house fee is free if you get there before 7 p.m. It goes up to $25 after 7 and something like an additional $10 an hour after that. I'm in Florida it's the same everyday except sundays are free house before 9.

    Yes!! I used to work ata club that took 50% of everythign except stage tips. I mush much prefer to just pay a set housefee, even if it is $100, than to give 50%. When I think back to how much they took off me every night.....I am sick.

    But then again....bouncer tip outs there was a set $5 a night, maybe 10 if you did really good. Now it's 20%, so I end up tipping out an extra $100 or more anyway....

    Although if you think I did $800, and only kept $400, minus the $10 tip, so I walked with $390
    Or....Make $800, pay $100 housefees, so I have $700, 20% tp out on VIP rooms, so assume out of that $800, I made $500 in VIP, 20% of 500 is $100
    In the end, I will leave the club with $600.
    Set housefee much better.
    ( I hope that math was right. I confuse myself sometimes)

    If you come in Wed or Thur (1st 4 girls) and are ready and checked in before we open at 4 its free. 4 it's $10. It goes up after that. I think the highest it gets is $65 and thats if you come in after 9. Tipout is $30 (10 to housemom, dj, door guy) unless you work friday before 6 then you have to tip the door guy and dj twice.
    You keep all your other money, so it's pretty reasonable I think. Oh and I work in New Hampshire.
