Usually VIP has empty spots. Getting big name celebs on a popular/crowded night keeps things busier on less popular/crowded nights.

It's a terrible business move to encourage celebs to go to your competitors by telling them that you're full without them.

But if someone rocks up without paying or phoning ahead and you don't have any idea who they are... well, they might not be getting into the VIP.

People can yell all sorts of shit about why they should be allowed inside.

They're not VIP's, big name celebs, nor do they make enough money.

If there is a line waiting to get in there is nothing these women bringing to the club.
