How to Get on the Guestlist at a Club

Going to clubs can be a hassle with long waits and rude bouncers. Some of this stress can be alleviated by being on the guestlist. The following will help you get on these coveted lists.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Check Online. Check the website of your favorite club. They might have a place to sign up to receive their newsletter with info about guestlists and other discounts. Some websites have a direct link to put your name on the list for a particular event.
2. If the club you want to go to doesn't have a website or the info listed above, find out who's promoting the party you want to attend. Promoters often have their own websites and/or email lists that include info about lists.
3. Arrive early. This may not be the trendy thing to do, but if you arrive early you can usually save yourself the hassle of having a bouncer tell you there is no list or you need a special color wristband or whatever the excuse of the moment happens to be. A lot of bouncers get off giving you a hard time especially if you're a guy. Don't give them the opportunity.
4. Look out for open bar or drink specials. Typically early in the evening there will be an hour of open bar or cheap drinks. Get there early and take advantage. Once you've had a few drinks all the music sounds good!
