Hire vs buy
Hire or buy an inflatable nightclub? A simple cost comparison
Both routes work. Hiring is simplest for a one-off party; buying makes sense if you will use the tent again and again. Here is a straightforward comparison using our real prices.
What hiring costs
Our hire packages are priced per event and include delivery arrangements quoted for your postcode:
| Package | Price per event |
|---|---|
| Warm-Up | £260 |
| Club Night | £295 |
| VIP | £335 |
| Headliner | £520 |
What buying costs
The 6 x 5 x 5 m tent is £1,999 and comes with the blower, disco lights, logo and everything to inflate it. To match the Warm-Up package you would add two 15 inch speakers (£299 each) and the T-bar light set (£249):
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Inflatable nightclub, 6 x 5 x 5 m | £1,999 |
| 2 x 15 inch Bluetooth speakers | £598 |
| T-bar disco lighting set | £249 |
| Total | £2,846 |
| With code NIGHT10 (10% off) | £2,561.40 |
The break-even point
£2,846 divided by the £260 Warm-Up hire price is about 11 events. The tent alone (£1,999) is about 8 events at £260. These figures leave out storage, transport, your time for the 2 hour set up, cleaning and electricity, so treat them as a guide.
Which should you choose?
- Hire if you have one or two parties a year, no storage space, or want everything delivered and set up for you.
- Buy if you will host regularly, want the tent to carry your own logo or colours, or run events as a business.
