Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

Male, 32

I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.

Have you ever noticed that alot of the models actually seem to hate the promoters? Just 'Play up' to liking them so they get into the VIP and free drinks etc, but talk about them behind their back saying their 'Creepy' or 'Players' etc??

Asked by JustMe over 11 years ago

Bahahaha. You know who models end up sleeping with? Creepy guys and players. 

And yeah they might play up liking them for free drinks but it's a symbiotic relationship. The promoter needs them at least as much as they need the promoter. 

And in reality they hate them because they've slept with them only to realize the promoters are sleeping with tons of other girls too. 

I was wondering, if you keep asking the promoter for guest list, how do you show that you're grateful? Do you tip? And also, do you prefer being informed of the party coming in two weeks advance or a few days before?

Asked by psychoanalyst about 11 years ago

Bringing hot girls is the ultimate thank you. Or buying bottles from him. It's rare to tip but it's nice when it happens. It's like anything in life, money talks.

If you are getting a table, then advanced notice is great. If not, the promoter doesn't care, just show up and hope the door guy let's you in.

What would you say, would be a descent bar split as in a percentage?

Asked by James Ho over 11 years ago

Depends greatly. I've seen as high as 20%

I'm gonna do a vacation year in Australia- Sydney.

I'd like to work for a nightclub to earn some Money while i live there.
Can i work as a promoter with 18 years and no experience? Is there a job to animate people? I'd love to do that.

Asked by Julian almost 12 years ago

The places I went to in Sydney didn't use promoters. Not sure if that's standard there. Start talking to people and you'll figure it out. 

Animate people? That's what the drugs and alcohol are for.

Asked by mike j almost 12 years ago

Depends on your area/city. You don't  have a lot of negotiating power as a promoter at least at the beginning.
