Here is my 2 cents as an arm chair economist. And let's just take Gauteng as an example. Say the registered punters on ESA represent 20% of all punters in Gauteng (which does not include guys not registered or guys that punt through a multitude of other avenues such as competitor sites, girls that advertise through social media, junk mail type adverts, etc, strip clubs and venues and ladies that don't advertise, etc. etc.) Of that 20%, 1% is taking part in this debate and calling action for lower prices. And let's say the sp's on ESA also represent 20% of all SP's in Gauteng. To have market power and to be able to have any impact on pricing you will need about 45% of ALL punters which include the 20% on ESA and another chunk of the 80% that are not in ESA to join together and exert pressure on the entire 20% on ESA plus a significant portion of the 80% that are not in ESA.
So to stop punting in an effort to push pricing down with 1% of punters is pissing in the wind. That will happen through normal market forces IF the market dictates the pricing is too high. If pricing continues as is then it means these prices are sustainable and ladies don't need to drop their prices. So the long and the short of it is, if the price is too high move on and find someone in your price bracket because there is literally nothing you can do without mobilising 45% and upwards of all punters. Alternatively, hold your breath and see if these high prices are sustainable because if not there will be a correction downwards. But for now it looks like the punters that don't even read here are happy with these rates and ladies are smiling all the way.

Hebana...
Comparing punting fees to Dr's fees and attorney fees is over stretching a little ...
Now lemme try and make it sense....
When you sick and dying...you have to get well...= paying medical expenses as it's health dependent (been there b4, 2 gunshot wounds and a accident)
When you in trouble with the law, amd your freedom is at stake...you hv2 oay legal fees...and if you can't afford it...you get allocate a public defender.( good luck to you in that case)
We dnt hv2 punt...not health or freedom dependent...
WGs/SPs have to work...survival dependent...
Finding a sweet spot (affordable realistic rate) would be beneficial to both sides.
But let see how June month goes...Believe you me, i hva healthy punting budget and money is really not a issue, I for 1 will only be supporting the realistically affordable WGs/SPs...
As for the simps...by all means, keep paying the Duuuuuubai rates and enjoy your bookings.

Lol...;-)
The "Simps" are here to protect their EGO, if they feel paying R2k or more is nothing to them, because of their deep pockets, and feeling they above the rest of us, then go right ahead, why even bother posting on this thread, unless your EGO is threatened?

After speakimg to a few girls. One major issue currently how girls are paying venues huge fees which they are passing on to the clients. R1200 massage venue, gives the girls r400 a booking. They then add another R1000 to r1500 for extras which end at r2500 upward.
Work solo ladies....
