A lot of times if you pull out money and try to grease the doormen, they don't care who you know sometimes, they don't care about anything. They will only let their people in, especially if the capacity of the venue is really low. Then they know they can only let in 'x' amount of people. They don't care. They're not going to let you in. Your best bet is just to go home.
