And at Breathless, Kings Cross (no booking fees)
Liberation (Covent Gdn),
Resurrection Records;
Black Rose - all Camden, booking fees may apply

 

Can I have tickets posted to an address other than my billing address?

No, I'm afraid not! Our payment gateway (2CO) requires us to post all tickets to the buyer's billing address. This is to prevent fraud. If this is no good for you, please purchase your tickets WITHOUT postage and they will then be processed for you to collect on the door. For door collections please bring a copy of your receipt.

 

I have not recieved my receipt.

Please check your spam box! Everyone will receive an email from 2checkout when their order has cleared the fraud checks.

 

I have not received my tickets.

Please double check your receipt, to make sure you did order postage. If you did not order postage (at £1.75) with your tickets, they will be ready to collect on the door at AC.

If you did order postage, and they haven't arrived, please be aware that Missy only processes tickets roughly 3-4 weeks before an event. You will receive an email from Missy on the day that your order is processed (and packed for posting).

If you have had this email and not received your tickets, please mail us in the week OF the event. We will check the tracking number to ensure it hasn't been signed for, and will keep tickets for you to collect on the door. It is usual for Royal Mail to lose around 4 or 5 of our 'Recorded Signed For' packets per event!!

TICKET COLLECTION

If you have opted to collect your prepaid tickets on the door you MUST provide your receipt. No other ID for collection is possible. If you forget your receipt you will be asked to pay the full entry price. You will then be refunded the week after the event upon receipt/proof of a confirmed advance ticket purchase.

Please note if you are unable to attend AC for any reason or if you are refused entry you will not recieve a refund. All ticket sales are non-refundable. R.O.A.R. applies. Please check our dresscode as well, if in doubt as to what to wear to AC.


What time is the club open?
The doors open at 8pm. The doors close at 2.30am, and the club shuts at 6am.

Do you allow cameras in Club AntiChrist?
Cameras and mobile phone cameras are not permitted in Club AC unless you have a photopass from us clearly displayed on your person. If you are caught taking pictures you will be asked to leave NO REFUNDS!

If you are caught taking photos/video, your images will be deleted, and you will be ejected from the venue, no refunds, no warnings!

You may use your mobile phone to make calls in the foyer.

 

I am a photographer, may I take photos at AC?
Possibly, please contact us with links to your work. If we have room for you, we'll contact you about obtaining a photopass.

 

What is the dress code?
Our dress code is broad but will be strictly enforced. You MUST be dressed alternatively - dress to impress! Rubber, leather, punk, goth, vampyre, lolita, cyber, gimp, medical, uniform, manga, fetish, freak, rockabilly, rivethead, ballgown.......

Dress Codes at AC:

Please note we have a strict dress code at AC so dress to impress, no effort = no entry!

I'd say 99% of AC'ers look wonderful and the outfits are amazing, however we have been getting a few sneaky people trying to attend while not in dresscode.

 

We will be enforcing the dresscode a lot harder so for clarification:

What Wont Get You in:

No street clothes, No Trainers, No 'normal' suits, No Denim
Simply arriving in street wear and wearing a mask won't do.
Boys - taking your top off also won't do if you are not Alt/fet and 'dressed up'.
Naked is not an outfit, even if it's your 'thang'. Nudity is fine but you must look the part and make the effort, so by all means expose yourselves but full nudity without looking the part or making an effort to will not gain you entry.

 

Please note if you have a ticket and are not appropriately dressed you wont get a refund if we refuse you entry. (ROAR)

 

We do also patrol the club so if you are inappropriately dressed and have slipped past the door team you may still be asked to leave and will not be refunded. I STRESS THIS IS FEW or the minority but as we have been getting busier a few people who have not made the effort have either snuck through the door check, or changed into street clothes once inside! This won't continue!

Our dress code is broad and we are not elitist, but we do want to ensure that everyone attending feels comfortable and safe.

If in doubt please do email us for advice  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or check the FAQ and AC Galleries for ideas of what to wear to AC.

If you are introducing friends to AC for the first time, please do point out the dress code in advance.

 

Obviously there are always exceptions, for instance Cyberdog or band t.shirts are fine if you are clearly alternative or look the part in context with the rest of your outfit.

ROAR applies at all AC events - NO REFUNDS!

We get many emails and queries about the dresscode, and we've put them HERE with our replies to help you decide what to wear!

Do you allow Nazi insignia at AntiChrist?
Yes. Not because we are Nazis, or approve of Nazi'ism, but because we don't believe in censorship, and we understand that some people enjoy wearing the symbols for their own personal reasons.

 

Can I bring a symbolic weapon as part of my outfit?
I'm afraid not. This is the decision of the venue's security team. You will be searched upon entry, and anything they declare dangerous will be held for you until you exit the venue.

Claw rings and studded belts/collars etc are fine though, it's just items such as swords and daggers that aren't allowed in. Play items such as whips, paddles and canes are all ok. Pretend weapons such as steampunk ray guns or replica pistols etc are also fine, but security will want to check that they are fake or de activated.

 

Is there an age restriction at AC?

Sadly yes, it's 18+ due to Colosseum rules, much as we'd like to corrupt the young and innocent. There is no upper limit...

 

Does the venue have wheelchair access?
There is one flight of stairs as you enter the building, and our dungeon team are very helpful, and will happily lift a wheelchair to the main level and back down when you want to leave. All the rooms and the smoking area are on one level with no further stairs. There is a disabled toilet on the ground floor.

 

What facilities are provided at the venue?
There will be hot food  for sale, large cloakrooms, a screened changing area, heated private outdoor smoking area, and indoor heating. AC usually have a stall selling our clothing and accessories. There is a fully equipped dungeon with house domme, a blacked-out couples/naughty area, and usherettes selling glow-sticks and handing out free condoms and sweeties! There is also usually a PhotoBooth where you can have your photo taken professionally with props etc for a fee.

 

How often is Club AntiChrist on?
AntiChrist runs every few months. You can find a full list of eventsHERE

 

What are the rules at Club AntiChrist?

• No cameras. Official photographers will wear press badges.
• AntiChrist and Colosseum have a strict no drugs policy
• No wanking. We had masses of complaints regarding lone males masturbating at the first AC, so if you're caught doing this you will be ejected from the club with no refund given. It's not consensual!
• Dungeon specific rules will be displayed in the club.
  

 

What should I do if I spot/have a problem?

If you see something that you think is not allowed (eg someone taking a photo/lone man in the couples area) OR if you have a problem yourself (eg you've lost an item/think the aircon should be on but isn't...) there are several people you can talk to.

1. Security, they are generally lovely and friendly, and can be found by the main entrance and the smoking area doors.
2.  Dungeon staff, also lovely, located in the dungeon and outside the couples area door.
3. Ticket booth staff, between 8pm-3am there will be a member of staff in the ticket booth (but please remember you may have to wait till they have served their customers first).
4. DJs (guest DJs may not be able to help with certain queries, but all our residents should be able to!).
5. d.Void or Missy, it may be hard to find us at times, and d can't do anything else when he's DJing, but we are otherwise happy to help!

If you spot something amiss but don't tell anyone, we can't get it fixed! We are happy to sort out heating/aircon, music levels, cleaning issues etc on the night, so do pass it on! DO TELL US ON THE NIGHT SO WE CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE FOR YOU! :)

 

What goes at AntiChrist?
Nudity and all consensual fetish activity are MORE than welcomed at Club AntiChrist. Solo wanking is not allowed, as it's not consensual. If you are caught doing this you will be ejected from the venue with no warnings and no refund.

 

I got kicked out of an alternative club for being 'naughty' with my girlfriend. Will you kick me out too?

No. If it's consensual and legal, it's up to you!

 

What kind of music do you play?
We play a cross section of Industrial, Goth, Industrial metal, 80s, alternative anthems.... Our main objective was in the fetish side of the club to have a fetish environment not set to Hard house or Funk!! There will be ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THIS!

We have several dance floors, The Hellfire Room (Goth/Alt, Post Punk and industrial metal) and PFI = ::PUREFUCKINGINDUSTRIAL:: (Industrial and dark electro. These rooms alternate in the long room at AC events. So for example at 1 AC PFI will run from 8pm - 6am with Hellfire then after the Theatre in the big room, 2am -6am and at the next AC they swap running times. Both these dance floors run at EVERY AC! More details on the rooms, and the type of music you can expect to here coming soon! We also periodicaly at VERY special larger AC's, like Dec 30th's Not New Years Special run the downstairs venue as well. this means the addition of a 3rd Dance Floor = Hellhole which plays rock and metal AFTER 2am wi9th Hellfire and PFI then running ALL night as well.

Note: please do not phone the venue to enquire about tickets. They do not deal with tickets and can not hold, sell or save them!

 

London Underground:

Take the tube to Vauxhall on the Victoria line. Its a popular misconception that Vauxhall is a long way from central London, it's not! From the West End the total journey time is around 8-9 minutes!

At Vauxhall tube, walk up/take exit 6. As you get to street level you'll see a large junction/crossroads 100 metres in front of you. Turn right here. As you make this right hand turn you'll see on the opposite side of the road a bus stop/shelter.  The Colosseum is immediately past here (brown glass building). Total walk from the tube 1-2 minutes. EASY :-)

Vauxhall tube opens at 5.30am on Saturdays, and the last tube on Fridays arrives at Vauxhall at 00.30. Check Transport for London's website here to plan your routes and travel times.

 

 

By Car:

Use the map below to get to Nine Elms lane and the venue is a few hundred yards on the left as you join Nine Elms. The venue has a free car park for up to 80 cars (first come first served) with the entrance being a small barrier next to the Colosseum itself. During our events please use the buzzer on the barrier to gain entry. Should this car park be full continue driving and there are a number of side streets and Industrial areas where you can easily find free parking. Alternatively there is also a chargeable NCP car park also next door to the Colosseum.

 

 

Buses and Over Ground Train Connections:

Many of the buses stop opposite to Exit 6 of Vauxhall Tube see directions above. Also many of the buses stop right outside the venue, the bus stop being the first or last in Nine Elms lane dependant on your direction of travel.

 

Bus Numbers:

2, 36, 77, 87, 88, 156, 185, 196, 344, 360, 346. NIGHT BUSES: N2, N87, N136.

 

The Eurostar brings you to Kings Cross St Pancras, where you can get the Victoria Line tube straight to Vauxhall - no changes.

The opening hours of St Pancras are Mon - Fri: 03:45 - 00:30, Sat: 05:00 - 00:30 so you can arrive at midnight and leave straight after the club the next morning!

London Waterloo is also only a short tube ride away, so you can travel from far afield!

 

Taxi:

If you want to get a taxi home after the club, security can give you the number of a reputable company at the door. They will also allow you to wait inside the building for your cab if you wish. NOTE: Many of the cabs waiting outside the venue are unlicensed and we recommend either you ask security on the door for the telephone number to call a licensed cab OR turn right out of the venue and hail a black cab from the main road.
