B1G1 & JC Specials

[MangoPort]

Correct me if I'm wrong but hosts are promoted / rewarded based on how much spend they bring in. So a host (if tips were all the same) would never want to offer a deal upfront if they thought you would book with them regardless, but would almost certainly want to offer a deal if it meant they could get your business and didn't have others to take your place. It's the reason for PURE Irene (the person listed on the JC page) never wants to make a deal but Thomas always will.

Either Thomas is taking a gamble that the tips are worth it rather than booking more money for the venue, or Irene simply has enough customers she doesn't need to offer anything.

I think if you're originally told no there may be some actually room to argue.

I've been told by one host that the goose+moet deal at tyrst isn't available on the thursday before EDC. I know another group who are going the same time and are booking with jeff ginsberg who are getting the deal. in all honesty...some of the quotes the other group has shit on the deals i've been quoted from direct hosts which kind of contradicts most peoples experiences from the forum. makes me think i've got room to negotiate with the club hosts.

Yes, hosts are paid for the money they bring, but that doesn't mean every host is going to try to clean out your wallet each night either.

There are those who choose to over-quote or not offer deals and in my eyes are only looking at the possible money they could get that day. On the other hand, there are those that are more focused on taking care of clients best as possible, not over-quoting people, and offering everyone the best possible deal to fit their needs. The latter is obviously more concerned with keeping longtime clients while the first is only concerned with the next paycheck.

Which is what's great about these public forums and multiple people recommending hosts/promoters rather then you being stuck with whoever you get put in contact with first.

For the situation you mentioned, well I don't know Irene and have never worked with her, but everyone loves Thomas and he's an honest host who will always be straight up and will give you all your options. Same thing goes for most of the hosts recommended in these forums. They're the ones that end up sticking around long-term and get the most appreciation.

It's more in our interest to be honest with people and quote them correctly rather then have them shop around and find a better deal or them have a bad experience, overpay, and not recommend us to their friends.
