Can you take photos in techno clubs?
Often not. Flash does not allow photos inside. Check each club page for its own rule before you go.
How do you get into a strict techno club?
Arrive sober and calm, in a small group or alone, and know who is playing. Dress plainly, usually in dark, comfortable clothes, and keep your phone away in the queue. Clubs with a selective door give no reason for a refusal, so it pays to read the door policy on each club page first.
What should you wear to a techno club?
Most techno clubs have no formal dress code, but dark, practical clothes and comfortable shoes are the safe choice. Some doors refuse suits, sportswear from groups, flags or glow wear, and a few clubs are strict about style. Each club page lists its own dress code where the club publishes one.
