Lets break it down..

If you charged an avg price at the door of $50

And 12,000 people showed up...

you'd make about $600,000

Now the cost of the party was 30 grand..

You keep the full door...

So in esence you took home over 500k.... maybe more when you factor in cover changed threw out the night..

sounds unreal...

well it isn't...

a brinks truck had to drive from the club to the bank...

the one and only

Jonathan Peters...

Factor in power, payroll, and other expenses as well, and then come up with a figure. Unless your $30K accounts for that. Believe it or not, just to open the doors and throw the switches on a major nightclub can run a few grand.

30k?!?!? i know some dj's that charge 30k alone just to show up and play for 3 hours...on a big night with a big dj i don't think the WHOLE party would cost as little as 30k and i highly doute that the promoter/club owner is making 500,000k on cover charge alone. MAYBE if you factor in the bar as well as the cover the number would be close but still not 500,000k

you figure if there are 12,000 PAYING people (which there DEF. won't be) at $50 a head and each person spends a minimum of $100 at the bar (thats 10 drinks at $10 per), the club will only make $180,000. now take out the $15,000 to $30,000 for the dj, the cost of just openning the doors, the cost of paying the staff, the cost for promotions, the cost of stocking the bars etc...after ALL that the club MIGHT make in the area of $130,000 on the night. and that's ONLY if it's a super club like space or crobar. the littler clubs that book the big dj's don't make anything even close to that on a night.

Dude:

12,000 x 50 = 600,000 --- > cover

12,000 x 100 = 1,200,000 --- > bar

the club makes 1'800,000 :eek:

if it is 1,200 people ... then your #s are right :cool:

just so you guys know, exit could swallow up space, 4 times over...

Why do you bother explaining to these people that Exit is better than Space???

I know Exit is much much bigger and Space's lighting is like burning matches compared with the lighting of Exit or SF or Arc. The fact of the matter is that Puig will never improve that club because he doesn't give a flying fuck about any of his patrons. He just wants money. He knows that Space is full of racoon eyed drug junkies and slutty whores and skanky bitches every sunday morning on the terrace. But it's ok. If he thinks he's helping build a scene, then more power to him...

:D:hat:
