VIP Member
A member with a house tab and Zone B access. Implies everything a member can do.
Practise with vip@club.test / vip123
You are a member with two extra things: a VIP tab (a credit limit you can spend against and settle later) and a wider door credential — your membership card opens Zone B, not just the general zone.
The group logic matters here. vip_member implies member: the platform's group check expands vip_member to include member, so you are never granted both and never lose member surfaces. Everything on the Member page is yours too — this page only covers the difference.
The tab is deliberately not a wallet. It is an obligation recorded on the double-entry ledger: spending against it raises what you owe, and a scheduled monthly settlement sweeps your prepaid balance first and then charges your card for the remainder. Nothing about it is a discount.
Your core workflows
2 ownedThese are yours. You start them, you finish them, and when something goes wrong in one of them the question lands with you.
Door & Access
Mint a membership card, see what VIP adds to it, and understand what a bar scan does and does not do.
Money & House Credit
Spend against the house tab, read what you owe, and understand the monthly settlement.
Workflows you take part in
7These aren't your job. Someone else owns them — you have a specific part to play. Each one links to the owner's manual, and straight to your own steps inside the workflow.
Events & Ticketing
Browse as a stranger, register, hold a reservation, pay, and hold a ticket.
Can settle the same order from house credit or the VIP tab instead of a card.
Settle a checkout from your balance instead of a card, and see which pot it comes from.
The only persona whose tab headroom can absorb what prepaid and earned cannot.
How tier releases actually work here, what 'member-only' really means, and what VIP does and does not buy you.
Shows precisely which VIP differences are real and which are folklore.
Resale Exchange
Buy another member's ticket with a card or house credit and get a brand-new pass.
Settles the same purchase from tab headroom rather than a card.
Money & House Credit
Where your points come from, what they buy, when they can leave — and exactly how long your ticket is sellable.
The tab is VIP-only headroom — the one kind of money you do not own.
Understand the three balances, the running statement, and why nothing on it can be edited.
Has the fourth number — the tab — that ordinary members never see.
Close out a month of tab spending: sweep credit, charge cards, and handle the failures.
It is their tab: the sweep takes their prepaid credit first and their card second.
What you cannot do
VIP status does not grant staff powers. You cannot:
- set or raise your own tab limit — only an admin can, and revoking VIP freezes the tab while the balance stays owed;
- skip the door — a VIP card is scanned like every other credential;
- reach any admin, scanner or ledger surface.
