Expensive sauna clubs and budget-friendly sauna clubs

What actually justifies the different entrance and service prices in sauna clubs? Why does admission at FKK Artemis Berlin cost 80 €, at Acapulco Velbert only 40 €, and during Happy Hour even just 30 €? Is it down to the different infrastructure? Is the surcharge for the expensive clubs justified? Do you find the more beautiful, hotter, more willing club girls there? What exactly is a premium club? And what differences are there between premium clubs and flat-rate clubs?

Whether a sauna club charges higher or rather lower entrance prices is, first of all, a product of its self-perception. A sauna club that wants to position itself in the market as an exclusive, upmarket establishment will set different entrance prices than a club that appeals more to a price-conscious crowd. Whether the higher prices of a so-called premium club can actually be sustained is decided by the market. Of course, a sauna club with a high price level must also be able to offer a range of services that, in the eyes of the guests, justifies the higher entrance price. These services include, for example

• appealing, modern and high-quality facilities and corresponding interior design
• well-tended garden landscapes
• comprehensive wellness offerings
• all-round catering including alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
• show programmes
• lots of great girls

It's not entirely easy to define what a premium club is, but once you're inside such an establishment, you'll notice it. Such clubs are always built at enormous financial expense and have to earn back their massive investment and operating costs. They are practically always big clubs, where the guest can draw on an impressive range of services and intuitively senses that he can't get all of this at discount rates; that's why guests are generally willing to pay the corresponding surcharge - as long as the service is right.

The most important criterion when visiting a sauna club is, of course, the women. It's obvious that big clubs have room for more girls than small ones, and the more club service providers are on site, the higher the chance that guests will find their dream woman in the club. Of course, this doesn't mean that uglier or less attractive women work in small or budget-friendly sauna clubs. And certainly the entrance price allows no conclusions about the service quality of the ladies.

Whether a sauna club can establish itself with high or low prices is ultimately decided by the market. What matters is the purchasing power level and the competitive situation prevailing in a particular region, and how popular this club is. A club where many women can be found understandably enjoys increased attention.

In this context, one shouldn't forget that the women themselves also pay entrance fees. Here, clubs can pursue different pricing policies. Some clubs demand relatively high entrance fees from the women in order to subsidise relatively cheap rates for the men. Other clubs, on the other hand, tend to pursue the strategy of luring as many women as possible with cheap entrance fees, in order to be able to enforce higher entrance prices for the male guests this way.
