How to Make £20,000 + in 1 Night …
March 03, 08 by MaxMaking money offline using the below method can be easy… but might not be good in the long term
A week ago (sunday night) I as a student went to something called Carnage. Basically claims to be biggest student bar crawl in the UK. It costs £10 and for that you get a Tshirt and entry into Manchester’s M2 Night Club. Basically it involves a bar crawl to 5 big bars then to the club at the end of the night.
Now Carnage sold around 2200+ t-shirts when the capacity of the club at the end of the night was only 1600. So basic maths £20,000 in. Now the bars I’m pretty sure will have not charged as they would love all the people coming into there bar and spending money on “normal” priced drinks not student prices which pissed a lot of us off if not everyone. The club may have charged but I’m not sure as they charged normal prices as well.
Now if each tshirt costs say £1 which in bulk they would if not cheaper, then total cost of shirts £2200, hire of bars £0 , hire of club either £0 , or couple hundred probably. Sale of tshirts/tickets £22,000. Cost of staff £0 (all were volunters who got free entry) . Estimated Profit of the Night = £20,000 +
They do this is many large cities around the UK, Not a bad money making idea, the fact that hundreds didn’t get into the club at the end, the bars charged normal prices when us students expect cheaper and the organisation was very poor means it may not be a business that lasts a long time, As although I had a really good time, a lot of people didnt.

They had a similar thing to this was I was in Sydney. $40 gets you a bus round several bars and to a club with one free drink in each bar. I’m sure the bars were happy enough to give free drinks in exchange of the prospect of having drunk english punters with their valuable sterling currency. The bus can’t have been that much and the same with the t-shirt, also everyone who volunteered got free entry too. This was also run twice per week.
Makes me think I’m in the wrong industry

It seems like a good idea but there is no business ethics behind any of these. Business take advantage of volunteers to drive their their unethical (sometimes) purposes because they know volunteers doing the job because (mostly) need to get some experience from a particular industry to get a job.
Money is the only rule for such business and people running such businesses unfortunately. A free entrance and probably something extra by the end of the night may make the volunteer happy but we need to see what is the impact of that action on society. This is something too little care about.
