The Ultimate Thread: Hakkasan

[artedm]

Presale is usually always better then gueslist- unless you have a great relationship with the host putting you on the guestlist and are getting in free and willing to deal with a wait.
Presale recommends early entry, you might be ok late but that depends on capacity- keeping in mind Hakkasan is HUGE club. If you get there late might still get in.

Usually starts around 1am. Plays for about 2 hours. He plays his own stuff along with some well know bangers.

If you get there early should be able to get on dance floor.

Pre-Sale tickets asks that you arrive by 10:30. Its in your interest to get in and get your hand stamp and leave. If it hits capacity a ticket will mean nothing.

so it is no problem to get there early and get out again once your hand is stamped... do you get in anyways later on? Even they are not letting people in because they reached capacity?

No you don't, once it hits capacity, everyone is stranded outside till people leave the club and they are allowed to let more people in. Also note that priority in who gets in first after that goes table line, presales, general admission.

So I booked BS through a JC recommended host for 12 guys for June 29 (Calvin Harris is DJing). I know to get there by 10 to secure a nicer table and maybe a lower minimum (I was pretty direct in my communication and just asked for 2500 min w/ a 500 handshake which was agreed to).

Just wanted some advice on what kind of table I should be hopeful for and what tables to avoid. I know I'll be somewhere in the Pavillion. Would like to be as close to the action as possible w/ a good amount of foot traffic.

Great info, Nighthawk

If I am doing ticket I go in around 10:30 and get my hand stamp and exit.

Pre-party with friends on the casino floor or up at the hotel.

I make my way re-entry right around 12 to 12:30.

Yes, but if the club is at capacity at 12-12.30 you're screwed

My group will be staying at MGM Grand during this day and wondering if there are any perks to staying at the hotel already? Would we still have to purchase the presale($30 guys, $20 girls) or is there a host that works a possible guestlist? Were choosing between here this night or Nicky Romero at Eclipse the same night. Not looking for bottle service, just wanna join the crowd and have a good night with good dance music.

I'm at the MGM right now...no benefit for staying for either Hak or Wet Republic.

I would talk the forum member earlra before doing presale. He has offered to get forum members on the staff guest list which is a much shorter line...I did it last night and was in quick

[rtwil]

What are the different lines at Hakkasan? I've heard of expedited line-- is this the club's way of taking away the "handshake" where money goes into the hosts pockets, and instead the club profits?

I was there last night and there are a TON of different lines. So many it was confusing where to go. I saw a guest list line, a staff guest list line, presale line, ladies line, general admission line, table/bottle service line, etc. There could have been more but those are the ones I remember

[tony67]

thanksfor the info rtwil. Much appreciated. Ill get ahold of him as we may go check out Dada Life with presales.

who earlra? lol

[not a vet but no rookie]

Did presale line last Friday and got in right away around 10/1015

[pyt]

does someone have the lineup for the ling ling room ??

[rtwil]

I just did this on Thursday. I had no problem. The staff guest list line is separate from the guest list line. It moved as quick as the presale line but was much shorter. We were 2 guys and were told to be there before midnight to ensure entry. Forum member earlr hooked us up...everything went smooth for us

[Earlr]

Glad you had no problem rtwil. Get at me if you want to get on a staff guest list.
