where to get concessions for nite clubs?

yogalady

Hi all

I was just wondering if anyone knew is it possible and if so where can you get concessions for any of the niteclubs in towns - icon, angel lane, sinbin? Would love to go out at weekend but don't have 12 to 15 euro to pay to get into these places. Haven't been in a niteclub since june so if concessions available anywhere id love suggestions.

thanks a million

Go to Costellos. Fiver in. Or, if in before around 11, free in. Very quiet then if you do that though.

+1 on costeloes its pretty cool. i think bakers is only a fiver aswell. or mollys on catherine street is a disco bar which is club hours so its free. as is nancys and flannerys beside icon.


but trinity concessions are available in charlies on cruises street. i think that icon concessions are available in smiths and cornmarket if your in early. not sure about icon concessions though

Pretty sure The Old Quarter gets plenty of concession tickets for various clubs as well.

I'd still recommend Costello's too.

Most of the big niteclubs don't offer concessions on a Saturday night as they know Saturday night is their busiest night of the week. Friday or Sunday night is your best bet and some of these clubs send people around to the local bars leaving them on tables, etc. In saying that no niteclub should be charging €12 or €15 entry on a Friday or Sunday night.

Another thing is the likes of Smyths who offer free entry for ladies to the D'Icon niteclub on Thursday nights, I'm sure the likes of Trinski Roomes and Anal Pain have something similar to draw punters in.

Alternatively go to one of the late bars who serve up to the same time as a niteclub where they generally don't charge if you are in there before a certain time.

Free into Aubars before 11 pm. Think its the same for Bentleys.

You may get complementaries or concessions quite easily if you are in any of the busy bars and see the promoters of the varies clubs handing them out.

When a promoter comes up to me to hand a concession or put them on the table, I would ask for a complementary and they will usually hand a couple to me.

Would say comps or concessions are rare of a sat night,at most you might get 2 euro off.
icon give out concessions not sure what the discount is but id say it would deffo still be 10 euro,

bazkennedy

I'd say you're more likely to get them on a friday (a quiet night) but often they don't date stamp them

krudler

Old Quarter is good for getting them, usually a few girls will be wandering about handing them out, failing that go during the week when its quieter, think Trinity Rooms was a fiver on weekdays, at least it used to be when we last went there, that was well over a year ago though

They don't charge at any time (Flannery's & Nancy's) which is a great deal. They are the only two proper late bars in Limerick i.e. bars without dance floors and not attached / part of clubs. I can't fathom people paying into clubs at the weekend when you can stay until 2.30am in both these bars. Some people just don't want to save money....

Hi all

Thanks a mill for all the replies. I don't drink so staying in the late bars til 2:30 is no fun for me! Just wanted to get out at the weekend and have sum fun and go dancing. Had a bit of a craving for icon but just can't afford the 12 euro to step inside the place. Limerick is a rip off when it comes to price of nite clubs. More concessions please

Thanks again for all suggestions!

I've asked at the bar in Smyths before for concessions for the nightclub on a Saturday night and gotten them from the barman - just flash a smile

TestTransmission

do you drive? if so il pay your entrance fee to the club if you drop me home afterwards

Vertigo100

Icon is 12 on a Saturday but they have a couple of people going around town with flyers. These people have some comps as well so if you spot them ask them and you might get lucky!

yogalady

Jocksandsocks I do drive and I am quite flattered that you would offer to pay my entrance fee.

However my conscience wouldn't allow you to pay 24 euro to get into the niteclub. Thxs 4 the offer tho

I don't think you should have to pay to get in to any nightclub in Limerick considering the extortionate prices they charge for drink. I think Aubars is on to a good thing with their free entry, its been jammed anytime I've been there. Maybe the others could take note.

zuroph

Add the clubs on facebook/bebo etc, and mail them asking about where to get concession etc. If they're good, they'll generally stick you on a list or let you know what nights are cheaper etc. You'd be surprised how accomodating some clubs will be if you have the presence of mind to call ahead. Also, the ones that don't bother marking down, or even replying generally don't deserve your money. Customer service is not something that only happens on the night the place is open, its an ongoing marketing device.

Aubar wanted 10 euro last night i was there about 6 weeks abgo on a friday night for the tiny downstairs club even tho all we wanted was the bar upstairs which was far from packed

This weeks Limerick Post newspaper has a coupon for Trinity Rooms, free entry Thursday, Friday and before midnight Saturday. It is located on the second last page down in the corner.
