Gone Clubbing

The war is on!

I don't think anyone predicted this. I certainly didn't.
There is a price war brewing in the club scene in Vasa. A lot of people thought that the real war would begin in September when all the students return but it appears as if the war is already starting. Fontana, Gigglin Marlin, Superstereo, Sky and Hullu Pullo ALL have some type of special offers as well as free entry on certain days. And lo and behold; Royal Night is once again struggling to keep up and is offering...nothing. Nada, zilch, zero, bubcus. Is history going to repeat itself and Royal will lose its popularity again?

Fontana has raised the age limit for saturdays to 20. Personally I doubt that it will be a very rigid policy as they have tried that before with little success. According to other sources the decision was based on the fact that a lot of people feel that they do not want to go there because it IS a place for 18 year olds. On tp of that is the fact that it seems as if the active group of 18 year olds is decreasing so it is a natural progression.

Here is the real shocker though.
In response to this, Giggling Marlin (known for NOT being a place for 18 year olds) has lowered their age limit to 18 EVERY night of the week. Apparently the call came from the new head honchos in the southern region of Finland.

So this will be very interesting. Predictions? It's anybody's guess really but one thing I do know is that you have to keep moving forward unless you want to be left behind. One would think that Royal Night would have learned from previous experiences but it seems it hasn't. So my only prediction is that Royal will once again be left in the dust of the others...just like a broken down McLaren by the side of the race track.

    Probably... still, quite surprising with the dropped age limit. Then there's the Hullu Pullo renovation coming up in a few months/weeks.
