Various clubs and parties in the NYC scene, too, going back well over a decade. I'm genuinely surprised to read there is some (perhaps exaggerated) controversy over this in the news. The places that have strict no photo / no video policies like this pretty explicitly _don't want_ a patron who became interested in attending primarily because they saw a video of the dance floor on Instagram, they cater to scenes and communities where word of mouth and reputation are more than enough to fill the room.

I don't recall getting stickers at any clubs NYC, although it's been a few years since I lived there. It was always on the honor system at places like Output and events like Black Market.

Maybe it varied depending on the night, but I remember Output being stricter about it the first few years they were open – staff would regularly confront people who took photos. But that seemed to fall off entirely over their final couple years.

Output was definitely doing stickers for a while, I still have several of them (on a stickerbombed bicycle frame). I can't remember whether that was in the early years or the late years though.
