Tyranna Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 RANT 2: Club Xes - A three pound "entrance charge" slapped on us at the door Carbs, dear, Club XES has ALWAYS charged an entrance fee after 11pm, what I always do, is to get there before 11pm so as to get in free! From when I started going in 2002, it was £2, then it went up to £3 a few years ago. Pity about the entrance fees, but Dempseys charges the same, after 10pm (one hour earlier, mind...) At least Sheffield isnt like some other cities where all the gay clubs usually charge £5 -or more- after 10 or 11, although at least in London and Manchester there are odd venues which may let you in free all night, but they are usually the empty or c**p ones...
