I hope that photo isn't indicative of how you usually shoot.

There is no set price, everyone charges differently.
Either way, the club normally pay for entrance & travel.

- Someone may charge just for the night as a whole, lets say around £70
- Others may charge per hour. £15+

Then it comes to the actual photos, do you intend to sell them back to the people, or give them out free? If you're giving them free - then the adobe prices will rise.
If you're selling them, lets say £5 for 2, then you run the risk that no-one will buy them.

Basic calculations would be something like:
You need lets say atleast £12,000 a year to live.
How many club events do you think you'd be able to do a week? 3 probably? (Friday, Saturday & Monday - are the busiest days)
Lets say you made an average of £70 a night
- 12,000/70 = 172
You'd have to do that club 172 times a year
There are only 156~ fri,sat,mon's in a year, only getting you £10,920 - so somehow you'd have to make an extra £1,080 to reach the amount you need to live.

The only thing you'll need will be:
- Permission from Club
- Camera
- Business Cards

Tip with the cards:-
1) Give them out before people go in, that way they'll be sober when they put them in their pocket.
2) Give 2 per person. Incase they loose one, but more importantly, chance of them passing one on to their mate
3) Leave them on the Bars\Tables, so people can pick them up at their own will.
4) If you havent already given them out, give them out after you take people. Telling them they can find the photo at the site on the card.
