you could try asking them for ideas.

did but the geezer was not very helpful just wasnt interested.Im aiming at universities at the moment seems like a better option

maybe you should work more on your pr skills? hustling aint easy...

belive me i have

how do they know if you bring fifty?
people requesting you at the door?
The club is empty? Find some DJ that's popular, and either open for him, or have him open for you, play together, and let the owners try to say who brought the crowd. More important, than the number of heads, though, is how well you rock the folks there, cuz even if it's only like 20 kids, and they dance their asses off, they'll spread the word, and then you've got it made.

Good Luck
