At first I thought a tsunami is a weird way to measure bans but in context it makes more sense:
> Mr Peacock told the BBC: “I’ve noticed this year the tide seems to be finally turning. [But] I don’t want it to be a tide, I want it to be a tsunami of UK venues going phone-free.”
Fair play to the places that do it – good luck to them with that concept.
I’d never hand over my phone to get into a club, I’d just go elsewhere.
I imagine for a lot of people these days showing your at the club on social media is just as important as being there and if they can’t “flex” on their stories they will go somewhere else
I don’t disagree, but it’s not workable while 2FA makes phones the frontline of security to our lives.
They already do this in some of the “proper” clubs. Fold does it, Fabric do & there’s two more places I’ve been that I can’t remember the name of that also did it. Fabric has had a photo ban for a while, you’ll get a bollocking if a bouncer spots you / may be kicked out
I completely agree with the ban, nice to go somewhere where you can just be yourself and not have the same kind of worry that you’ll end up on the web somewhere the next day or even on the same night.
I wouldnt hand over my phone, but i would put a sticker over the camera or adhere to a “no camera” policy
It absolutely ruins gigs and clubs when all you see is people filming
Rule should be
1) the use of cameras inside the club is banned
2) if you break rule 1 then you are thrown out, no exceptions
Same with festivals.
Dance floors packed shoulder to shoulder, people stood facing the DJ, with their phones out.
Venues and parties organisers getting a grip of this is very welcome. It’s easy to implement, it works and it creates better nights.
Book club radio do some lovely events and one of their core principles is to not face the DJ. They put the DJ off to one side, facing away from the dancefloor, on purpose. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aOuz0H7gKAI&t=3784s
I’ve been saying this for a while now.
Phones are killing the atmosphere on nights out.
I remember nights out before everyone had a phone in their pocket and the vibe was completely different. Even when smart phones were in their infancy it wasn’t really the done thing.
It was a while before we had streamlined user friendly social media apps. They were clunky versions of the desktop apps that weren’t optimised for phones and also data was expensive and also really slow so you wouldn’t have spent all night on your phone. You’d maybe take a few pictures and upload it on the desktop app the next day or you’d add someone you just met on Facebook.
Now that we have affordable fast data and streamlined user friendly social media apps. It has taken over our night life.
This is not why nightclubs are dying ffs, what a ridiculous take.
Nightclubs are dying because everyone is well and truly SKINT, especially the broader demographic who would be going to nightclubs.
I know for a fact that the majority of people I know, would feel a lot less safe, if there was no proof of wrongdoings in a nightclub, which let’s face it is usually provided by a mobile phone camera.
