Phones and photography are banned in many Berlin clubs - they either lock your phone away at the entrance or put a sticker on the camera. That's why you barely see any footage from inside Berghain anywhere...
- red_admiral 3y agoI think most people who go there would consider that a feature, not a bug.
- RamblingCTO 3y agoAbsolutely. Techno was a safe space and you could be as freaky as you want without fear of repercussions.
- xwdv 3y agoCan you give an example? It seems like being freaky just means dancing like a crazy person. Hardly much repercussion for that.
- pvarangot 3y agoNo they can't give an example because it's a safe space
- threeseed 3y agoThere is a lot of heavy drug use. And there are areas in Berghain that are more like a sex/fetish club than a night club.
- lbotos 3y agoAs another poster said heavy drug use, but also fetish sex. I've been to parties that have had signs on the bathroom banning acts that would make a vanilla person blush.
- paganel 3y ago"Se non è vero è ben trovato" but this reddit post [1] does a decent enough job of explaining what's happening there (or what cool people think it might be happening in there).

- renewiltord 3y agoIt is, and that's what it's intended as. Some shows in the US do it too. e.g. Lane 8's This Never Happened shows in Oakland. But the most recent version of that had a lot of people complaining that there were lots of phone camera usage, so the sticker thing might not work in some venues.
- Ralfp 3y agoThing with sticker is that usually you go to the toilet and walls are covered in those stickers people removed from their devices as soon as they got away from the bouncers.
- kapep 3y agoThe point is that the sticker would have to be taken off deliberately. If you are caught taking a photo, you can't claim you just forgot about the rules. You broke the rules on purpose and depending on the club they either get very angry with you or kick you out without warning. The stickers you see on the walls could have accumulated over month. The system usually works fine and you rarely see anyone taking photos. Certainly way less than in clubs without those stickers.
- wkat4242 3y agoAlso I often ask for extra stickers to put on my bag and such. Never a problem.
- danjac 3y agoWould be great if they did this in gyms as well. Keep the influencer scum out so people can work out in peace.
