    Default when VIP rooms have diff prices for diff time

    My club is about to change the way they do champagne rooms.

    They used to be $400 ($200 club and $200 girl) per 30 minutes. if you wanted more, the guy paid for another 30 minutes. I know, this is outrageous. They are difficult to sell. So I'm glad they are changing the price

    Well, they are going to offer 15 min, 30 min, and 60 min rooms now. I don't even know how to sell these! There is also a new thing where we are allowed to charge what we want, but the club charges $75 for the 15 min, $125 for the 30 min and $200 for the 60 min (I think....going by memory here, but it's the gist of it)

    I'm thinking of charging $200 for 15 min, $300 for 30 min, and $500 for an hour.

    if it's a customer that I've been back there before, I'm thinking of saying something like "they lowered it for the half hour, but hour is only $100 more than what the 30 minutes used to cost." Should I always start an hour? I'm thinking I want to avoid pushing the 15 min one because it will attract the pervs.

    I picture the pitch going like this:
    "well, it's $300 for 30 min and $500 for an hour" and if they balk at the price, then say something like "well, if you were thinking of doing just dances to spend less money, they sometimes let us do 15 minutes back there when it's slow"

    Well, it looks like your club is starting to get at least a little smarter. Here is my suggestion. Whenever offering trips to the champagne room to a stranger, offer the 1/2 hour. It's a good rate for a good amount of time. Some guys aren't interested in an entire hour, and 15 minutes is a little short. You should mention the 1/2 hour first, if they flinch a bit, you can say "Shorter increments are also available" and if they are really interested you can upsell by saying, "And I can offer you a really amazing rate if you'd like an hour of time together...lower than you might expect.".

    With your regulars, approach them with the 1 hour rate first, but say it like this, "Remember how we used to spend time together for $400 for a 1/2 hour? Get this, we can now spend an entire hour for only $100 more. If you still like the time of a 1/2 hour instead, I can work with you on that price as well!" and then close them on the $300. Another suggestion is to close them on the 1/2 hour at $300 and once the 1/2 hour is gone, ask them if they would just like to continue on up to the hour for just $200 more.

    yeah, I think what you said makes sense, and I think guys are used to 30 min VIPs

    I'm glad management changed this. $400 is excessive and so hard to sell. There is new management, which is probably part of the reason. In return witht he change in VIPs, we have housefees (didn't before), but I think the new policy will make the dancers and club more money, so it's definitely a fair move.

    at my club the cheapest bottle at vip is $85 and whatever i want to charge. So I guess i can say $250 1/2 hour?? But I'm thinking of giving a deal for 230 and i guess just keep around 145 for me for 1/2 hour?? am i selling myself short?? give you're honest opinion. It's hard to sell rooms when that expensive.

    $250 is not that expensive for 30 minutes

    like I said, they were (still currently are) $400 for a half hour at my club. Now that's expensive, but we do manage to sell them!

    wait is that all that the customer has to pay to get the girl upstairs? its around 300-500 per hour for the girl, then they have to buy one bottle of champagne per hour for every hour they are up there, and the cheapest bottle we have is 275 i think, and the most expensive is 3750 - is this ridiculous? i thought it was like this for every club, i mean this is the first club i've ever worked at so i guess i wouldnt know. my first champagne room i charged 500 for the hour then sold a 475 bottle of dom and same for the second. girls are allowed to charge anywhere between 300-500 i figured why the hell not haha so what is the average for champagne rooms??

    It varies with the market, screamqueen... probably anywhere from $300-800 for an hour, depending on the city and and the clientele.

    Emily, I usually just ask them after we've been talking a while if they've been to the VIP before or if anyone's told them yet what an awesome deal it is. Usually that gets them to ask about it. If your club has different types of rooms, it's a good chance to get them up and give them a tour ("this is the fantasy room, it's X per hour, this is the VIP room, it's X per hour, and this is where we do dances, they're $25/song") Then they're already up and over there so it's almost like they have to buy some kind of dance. If they're stalling a little I'll say, "let's start with a lapdance and see what you think from there." That gives them an easy way out and I still get $20.

    my club charges 100 for 3 songs (15 minutes), 300 for half an hour with a 100 dollar bar tab and 500 for an hour with a 300 dollar bar tab.
    selling the 3 songs is the easiest.

    The couple of nights I worked at Broadway Showgirls in SF one hr in the Champagne room is $700.. house gets $200 I think. Then you have the guy tip the VIP/Champ manager around $150 then you get him to tip you another $150 on top of what he just paid... so around $1000 an hour for the guy and $650 for you... plus drinks are double price up in Champ/VIP than down on main floor...

    This is the only experience Ive ever had working somewhere with a Champ room. My girlfriend and I were balking at the prices these guys are paying for a little private time...

    oh... but out of the $650 if he pays with Funny Money house gets 10%.. so youve made $585 and then are expected to tip the VIP manager that your guy already tipped! he wants 10% so theres another $50 gone... goes on and on... this club has so many rules and fees... blah... but you are making good money if you can get a few hour champs.
