"A few years ago you couldn't move in my _ocal sauna on a Sunday afternoon, even through the week it was busy. Now it's struggling to keep open. Is your _ocal sauna the same, and what would tempt you to go again?" Hopefully Pipeworks in Leeds will be a very popular destination when it opens! | |||

"Quest at Leeds does ok on bi Tue and tv Thursday " Yes, but it's not really a sauna, and if there were no females there it would be empty, particularly at the Tuesday £20 entrance fee. | |||

"I try to support as many saunas as I can. Because - as several voices upthread suggest - we miss them when they are not there. Is a £20 or thereabouts entrance really considered pricey when you consider you’re contributing to running costs and you get a few hours of fun and distraction from it? I find that surprising from some above. You can’t do anything much for just £20 these days. Go, pay, and get your monies’ worth. " I concur ![]() | |||

"Veruccas. This is the least severe infection you might pick up on your next sauna visit." Met a friend of mine a month ago who was going for treatment for a verucca, which he'd picked up in a shower on a campsite. They'd tried various medications to cauterise it; they'd tried cutting it out; they'd tried microwaving it - he said that was particularly excruciating. It was so infectious he'd even had his fingertips infected, so spreading it to the penis sounds quite possible. Very, very nasty. Flip-flops seem highly advisable. | |||

"Got to factor it all in bed traveling entrance price petrol car parking not cheap these days. Buy the time I drive there and back,pay bridge toll,park the car for three hour and pay entrance it's about £50!" Taxi fare then train fare then entrance fee then beverage in sauna I can say goodbye to £60 easy but I do go and use it as much as I can maybe 4/5 times a year | |||

"Got to factor it all in bed traveling entrance price petrol car parking not cheap these days. By the time I drive there and back,pay bridge toll,park the car for three hour and pay entrance it's about £50!" I accept that they have running costs but they are slowly pricing customers away. Prices rise in an effort to pay the bills which results in even more loss of business. Better to reduce prices and have a dynamic pricing policy. Two people at £10 is better than one at £15 and even better than none at all. A customer in a sauna has little overhead impact, so more the merrier. | |||

"When you consider that as well as the usual play areas you are getting a steam room sauna jacuzzi cinema (porn) showers lube towels condoms, I think it’s pretty good value considering the operating costs ..." Regardless of the venue's facilities, overhead costs and apparent value the fact is, my _ocal sauna at least, is not busy and needs to increase the footfall. They have recently increased their prices again which will inevitably result in less custom not more. | |||

You can’t run at a loss for long. | |||

"Used to be 4 in Glasgow, now only got 1. Now £20 entry +++ Costs are only goung up like everything else. Not cheap but can be worth it on a good day" Yes Pipeworks in Glasgow is the only one left. It can be expensive if you want a drink or food at the bar, the prices are crazy. But £20 entrance fee for 12 hours with free condoms and lube is good value. On Wednesdays you get a free drink and p*ppers. | |||

"... at £20 I think it's really cheap. Walking around naked looking at gorgeous naked men, practically guaranteed sex if some sort, no time wasters, free beverages, steam room, private rooms,I think it's a bargain ... You can’t run at a loss for long." £20 plus travel costs is very expensive when there's only one other guy in the place. No-one is suggesting they run at a loss, the problem is bodies, or lack of them. Yes, support your _ocal one but you can't be expected to continue paying high prices when the place is almost empty. They need to utilise innovative pricing that attracts more custom through the door. I get it that there are more reasons than just pricing but it is at the top of the list as a barrier to entrance. | |||

"£20 entrance fee seems to be about standard, and a very reasonable figure. Anyone complaining about this is a cheapskate." You don't get it, I've no problem with the £20 it costs me to go if it was busy. The problem is that there's no-one in the place and the entrance fee has a lot to do with it. | |||

Therefore the problem is with attendance levels rather than the price. I value my time quite highly and no matter how much I paid to enter, it would still be a waste of there weren't many others there. | |||

"My _ocal one in Ipswich has just closed ![]() Yes, and Helsinki Sauna had a fairly good regular client base and minimal overheads. I heard the landlord got greedy when the rent was up for review. I'd have thought that place was financially viable, and it had convenient free parking right outside. Shame! | |||

"As a newbie to cock I think 20 quid is a bargain as I'd rather walk around with my willy out and watch some porn than pay 3 times that for a shitty theme park. " Clearly there are plenty guys who would like to go to a Sauna but if there's no-one in the place £20 is obviously too expensive. ![]() | |||
