Agree with most of what you post db, but I think the issue raised (or certainly the one I make it) is one consistency.
My understanding is that this Hed Kandi night was a one off, or certainly not every Saturday night, so next week they will be begging (ok maybe not quite begging) "normal" punters to come back and have a drink with them.... problem is if you go there regularly and then one week you can't get in without paying £12 for a club night you have no interest in, you may well go somewhere else and decide to keep going back there rather than to TPH, especially if you have been badly treated into the bargain.
So if I was TPH I would look to see if you could have separate areas so your regular clientele can still come in for... well whatever they regularly come in for, and the "Hed Kandi crew" (can you tell i'm down with the kids) can come in for this event.
