Ollie made an interesting comment during his post to the thead discussing "populations". He offered information about the occupancy levels in the places he frequents.

That is probably as informative a piece of information as one can get pertaining to karaoke venues.

So what is/are your legal occupancy level in the room(s) where karaoke is performed?

For the places I frequent, that number would avg between 80-100

Yes, this would be interesting info...I am going to have to check on that number at my club.
My club is a Supper Club\Bar\Banquet Room
My guess would be about 80-100 (Bar)...just a guess tho and we also get some from the Dinning Room till about 10:00 pm and some from the Banquet Room all night long. (but not everynight)

LMAO Very interesting !

I'm not sure what ours is, but I'm sure we've gone way over it. Friday night was so busy people stood outside. I had to steer people through the crowd over the mic to get to the stage. The patrons weren't moving to let singers through. I literally had to ask the singer in the crowd to wave their hand as they walked through the crowd, so they could be recognized and people would move. Aaarg !

This happens every so often on a Friday night. We've never been shut down or even warned about the problem.

State or city fire marshals usually require that an occupancy certificate is visibly posted. This certificate states the maximum allowable occupancy for that particular site.

my largest room is like 250, but ive seen more in the place. its an old ben franklin store converted to a bar and can hold 300+. capacity is set at 250 for security reasons. some law about 1 bouncer per person after 50 people. they never have over 5 bouncers so its set at 250.
