Club Vela Spring Break Cards? Worth it?

I am wondering if I should get one of the spring break cards or not. I don't want to wait in the lines. If I go there at 7pm and get my hand stamped will I really be able to get back in without waiting in the lines? What kind of cover should I expect? What is everyone's recommendations? Thanks.

I would pass on the lavela card. I've been the past 4 springbreaks and they hype that place up way way too much. In my opinion its a huge sausage fest and the best time to go is during the free wet t shirt contests in the afternoon. If you plan on going to lavela every night then it may be worth it, otherwise id get the panamaniac card. Cover can get to over $40 a person on some nights tho

You can go early to LaVela, get your hand stamped, and get back in without waiting without the card. The thing that sucks about the LaVela card is you are restricted to that one club all week. I prefer to go to a few different clubs while I'm down there. Not to mention I don't like LaVela that much. Harpoon Harry's and Spinnaker's are the best 2 bars there in my opinion, so I recommend the Panamaniac Card.

i dont think its worth it for the lavela card... its like 50 bucks and you have to go to that club every night... so it's not really my thing so go there every night... if you are going to get vip cards get one from spinnaker and then get the panamaniac party card.. those are the best two

Panamaniac Card 07

Hey Spring Breakers,

It's that time of year again SPRING BREAK 2007. Panama City Beach has a ton to offer this year. As always the popular Panamaniac Cards & Gold Cards are available for you to purchase during Spring Break. If any of you out there have used the card before you know it saves you a ton of money on cover charges alone. If anyone is interested In any information regarding Panamaniac Card, Gold Card, Pub Crawl, Beach Bash, Foam Party, MTV Party(Real World Cast) Concerts on the strip, or any questions regarding Night Clubs or Restaraunts, Please feel free to contact me Im here to answer all your questions. I look forward to hearing from you and also meeting many of you during Spring Break.

Reminder: Panamaniac Cards and all other event tickets are available at the Chateau Motel Pool Deck (beside Harpoon Harrys) everyday DURING SPRING BREAK ONLY!

Most hotels have discounts with your wristband. They usually consist of half off, or you may get in for free at the club on there OFF DAYS. Which means there just not that busy. Sometimes you may get to a club like LaVela and they don't let anybody in for free once you get there (unless your a female). Also they only have a 1 hour window (6pm-7pm) for you to get in. During that time they really drag the line. Usually they have 1 doorman checking ID, than when the free cover is over they have 6 checking. At that point then its $20-$30 cover to get in....NO THANKS!

Thats why I won't promote them. I have had too many people mad at me in the past, for sending them there, and not being able to get in. The hotel staff who told you about the wristband CAN'T and will not do anything about it. My point? Look at all your options. Then think about everything. What usually has more merit to it? Something that has no value? Or.... Something you pay for?

On Spring Break, you live and learn. You may fool people one day, but you won't fool them the next. Thats why the Panamaniac Card/Gold Card has been in Panama for 22 years. People that bought it before, buy it again. I encourage people to ask the front desk of the Paradise Found Properties (Holiday Inn, Best Western, Paradise Found) Where the card is not permitted to be sold on property, about the club cards. Ask them to be honest, & off the record are the Panamaniac/Gold Cards worth the money? They will say yes! (unless its the manager) He will say no. Thats only because he gets no money off the card!

Bottom Line is it's Spring Break! This is where they make there most money for the year.(bars, hotels,restaurants,stores) are there to maximize profits in a 6 week window. Thats business. No one makes money doing things for free. Just look at all your options, discuss it with your friends, than follow the game plan once your in town.

My goal is for everyone to leave at the end of the week and say they had the time of there life. I want them to go home and tell other people about it, and get them to come to Panama City Beach the next year!

Cheers, Andy
