2018 price rise thread

[mexicola]

I thought it might be good to list WGs who have decided to award themelves massive pay rises this year.

I was planning my first punt of the year with this local girl but she's now put her rate up from 100 to 120 per hour.

She's been on my hot list too, wouldnt really argue with the price as she's been fairly low for a while. Considering she's in the same price range as some of the Romanian girls in that location.

[Drayki]

Think youll find most of them are or have put their prices up at some stage, if they price themselves out they usually put them back down or have offers on

[Tonyg]

Id avoid this one gents... pics are VERY flattering, and service is mediocre at best.... best described as an ex-girlfriend experience.

What an excellent quote  (ex girlfriend experience ) nice one !

[Camerunandrews]

Cheers for the heads up Tony, I'll put this one at the back of the queue

[Sexy chick ellie]

Hi guys,
Yes I have raised my prices slightly inline with other working girls in my area with half the feedback that I have.
Of course my pics are flattering im Not exactly going to put unflattering pics up am I 
And as for the ex girlfriend comment  you obviously reminded me of an ex boyfriend.
Can't please everyone as the saying goes. 
Happy punting 2018

But you've hardly pleased anyone - you only have 1 positive review on here and it's not particularly glowing, indeed the reviewer cited your price (then £100) as one of the main factors for it being positive. Anyway, it's not the price that bothers me, it's the attitude you've demonstrated above. You're clearly not very good so cheers for letting us know.

I thought it would be interesting to bump this thread just showing how prices are going up and up.


Browsing AW for some action this evening I noticed that ellie in the original post is today asking 160 and hour. 60% increase in 12 months.   Great looking girl and she was fun earlier this year but just priced herself to high for me now.

Seen this one has been creeping her prices up. Think started at £140 ph and now £180 within a few months. Am happy to pay for quality but think that just silly money considering who else is around.

Yep, prices are deffo on the increase, no doubt about it in my book. Which is one of the reasons I haven't punted for a couple of months.

Yes, they are.... I won't pay it though.

If it means me punting less and less then so be it.

Hopefully more of us take this approach, our combined buying power can quickly force prices down if we want to as a collective

£180 for Stroppy Poppy.
Best of luck to her, I shan't be returning.

I’m no expert and only started this lark this year .... however I have found money is not related to quality of service. Yes it could buy you stunners who may give rubbish service as I found however the person in question was Romanian ..... day no more squire!! 
Seriously, the best bj I had cost the least given by parlour gal .... and the best sex was also not very expensive.....

Likewise, mine has been on the decline for some time now and I doubt I'll get back to my 2012 hay days - shame I didnt know about here back then.

[Bustydusty]

Apart from the odd especially good wg I won’t pay more than £70 half hour £120 hour - only paid over that twice I think and one wasn’t worth it

[goldwing1]

While not a price rise, these WG`s who have done a bit of porn and charge stupid money, like £400 an hour, doesn`t mean they are any good.
Probably better shags at your local £80 an hour parlour

I thought it would be interesting to bump this thread just showing how prices are going up and up.

In this year's Tontober thread I posted all the girls who had been mentioned on here as being tontober eligible or under £100, in the past 12-18 months. I had to remove the ones who were no longer eligible and out of interest I kept a quick tally as I did it. Obviously the following is just for indie girls at the lower end of the price spectrum. My results were:

- A total of 47 were still eligible to be included in Tontober.
 
- 8 WGs increased their prices (at some point in the preceeding 12-18 months) out of eligibility (some increased prices significantly).

- Some of the 47 (unfortunately I'm not sure how many but I'd guess only a few) increased their prices a bit but either not enough to make them ineligible or they only increased their rates for a certain length of booking, making them still eligible for either 30 mins or an hour but not both.

- 12 WGs became inactive (and therefore also ineligible) in the preceding 12-18 months. One more became a parlour girl. And another moved to Newcastle (and also increased her rates).

So, excluding those who became inactive or moved, 55 WGs  were potentially eligible, 8 of which didn't make the cut due to increased rates which means a minimum of 14.5% of WGs increased their rates in the past 12-18 months (as of October 2018). It was more if you include those who were still eligible but did increase their rates - I'm not sure of the exact number of those but if we guess 3 that would take the percentage of girls who increased their rates (in the past 12-18 months) to 20%.

I can't recall how many girls increased their rates significantly but I remember being surprised at particularly the amounts they were increased by as well as the number of girls who did significantly increase them. I'd guess the number of significant rate increases (£20 or more) was about 5 out of the 8 but I could be a little off.

So 20% of the total girls increased their rates and around 12.5% did so significantly (bearing in mind that £20 or more is quite significant considering they're at the lower end of the price spectrum).

Of course, those figures don't show how long the girls were at their previous price point for (it might have been for a very long time but it might not). Also, the total number of 55 is just those mentioned on here, it's not anywhere near the total number who might have been eligible (e.g. if someone had thoroughly checked AW).

It would also be interesting to see how many "mid priced" girls increased their prices, one would presume it's a similar number/percentage to the above girls or less but that could be wrong, especially if many of them are very popular.

Hopefully more of us take this approach, our combined buying power can quickly force prices down if we want to as a collective

If you just mean the active members on here, I'm not convinced. Even if you include many lurkers, I still think we're vastly outnumbered by people who're just on AW or use other sources and haven't heard about this site (or are banned from it). There's also plenty time poor, cash rich people (or just really rich), on here and in general, who won't bother because they don't want to limit their options any further and don't have an issue with most prices (especially if they just stick to shorter bookings).

As you can imagine, I punt quite a lot but I don't think I make much of a difference to any girl's wallet, even those I've seen numerous times. So if I imagine what it would take to make a difference, it must be a hell of a lot of punters.

Nonetheless, your thoughts and approach are admirable. I tried it this October (Tontober) and really struggled. I'd been OK in the past couple of years but only because I wasn't so close to seeing everyone I've wanted to see (at that price point). Also, given how the NW Tontober thread fared in general this year (https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=224426), I can't see much appetite for what you're suggesting. Then again, I can't see too much appetite for punting in general.

15 mins £250 what a crazy price for a very unattractive lady in my eyes, what goes through people's minds to charge them prices.

When I first started punting in 2013 I'm sure that there were a lot more independents advertising on A/W than there are now. (I only use A/W as a source of punts)
A quick count of the 1st page of the NW reviews shows that out of 51 reviews there are only 24 who are from A/W, the other 27 are either Vivastreet, Gumtree or parlours, which I never use.
If there are less Indies then I presume they are busier and this might lead to them raising their prices - supply and demand???

[bigthickdick]

I know i am not going to be popular with this but...

Prices of everything are going up every year. We pay more for gas, electric, petrol, food etc. Even wages going up slightly.

Many of the girls have not increased their rates for a couple of years. Some of them provided exceptional service continuously for several years and even got better at what they do as they became more and more experienced.

Say 3-4 years ago a WG started at £100/h and hasn't increased her rates and now she goes up to £120/h most of us here would say that she gave herself a 20% payrise and would start questioning it based on who else got the same rise however it's practically a 6% rise a year.

We at the other hand accept without raising an eyebrow new starters starting at £120/h even though they're nowhere near as experienced and definitely haven't proved themselves yet.

Naturally when good WGs sees that newbies are charging £120+ and many of them getting crap reviews on here eventually they will adjust their rate too.

Probably that was the biggest problem with Tontober this year, whilst as it was a good idea a few years ago maybe now we should adjust the criteria to £80/hh and £120/h

Don’t agree especially on £80 for 30 minutes as that’s an amount I’ve never paid ever for anyone - I doubt much if anything can be done as people are clearly prepared to pay a lot more than I am

[cueball]

Thicky.... I can't think of a catchy line that rhymes with 120 

I will say that i am of the opinion that tontober has had its shelf life now and it's time to think up a new angle.

To pick up on your points about lasses not upping their rates for a long while.....

When they're earning two quid per minute then a pay rise had to be massive to be noticeable. Unfortunately going from 120 quid to 160 quid is just too much, too much to square away in my mind.

Also, the bad ones that are priced at 120 quid are OVER CHARGING and the amount of lacking trade should force them to price down not the others to price up.

This has and will continue to effect my punting. I still have the same budget has i have had for many a year and refuse to bust it. It may mean me not podging some I'd like, it may mean I punt a lot less, or may even mean I don't punt at all.

What it will never mean is i go over budget, doing that is a slippery slope that I will not step on.

Remember too lads, they wouldn't charge it if we weren't willing to pay it.... If we pay it then we have no ground to stand on and complain.

[bigthickdick]

I may have not been very clear on it. I think that charging £100 to £120/h is just about justifiable and anything over that is a piss take.

My main point is that a well established wg can't raise her fee every now and then without being slagged off (not even if still not overpriced) yet an unproven newby can start at a higher price yet nobody saying anything as long as she's not above the £120-130/h mark. That's a bit hypocritical in my books.

I see your point re the lack of good catch phrase for 120, but the idea of Tontober was too good to be just discontinued. You always said that it's to highlight the rightly priced ones. Also you often said that you don't like to pay more than £2/minute.  Hence my suggestion for £120/h (and i understand that it would mean £60/hh but it could be 60% of the hourly rate as it was so far and say £70/hh)

Or as you said we can just put it down to as it has reached its shelf life. 

[cueball]

I may have not been very clear on it. I think that charging £100 to £120/h is just about justifiable and anything over that is a piss take. yes thicky, 120 per hour is the right rate imo

That's a bit hypocritical in my books.you make a good point, my method with newbies that are over the 120 quid is to completely ignore and bin. I have said many times in the past that it's out of order for a new lass with no good rep to expect to charge what established lasses do, like any other trade, they should build up to the good earnings

fear not thicky, I've got my thinking cap on, I do feel tontober  has run its life but a two quid per minute drive could have legs

There you go thicky me old pal, I've given you the dubious honour of breaking your post down and replying in red.

I don't do it for every Tom, dick or Harry though 

[Deepstroker]

Well i accept that its been years since i last punted but i always keep in touch with whats going on. Temptation is never far away. Having said that, if i ever were tempted enough my max would be £60 30 mins and £100 ph.

Looking at the way many WGs are hiking their rates i suspect i wont be getting my dick wet in one of them any time soon.

Thats just as well. I;ll just have a wank and keep the money in my wallet. Thats just as satisfying for me.

[ISTS2005]

I’ve noticed a common thread with a lot of these girls that have hiked their prices and that is they usually mention sugar daddy’s on their page. It makes me wonder,  if they’ve got an income coming in that’s regular can they be a bit more choosy and put up their rates?

[Saeran]

I've backed away from punting recently as I just can't justify the money being asked for what is an average, at best, service that a lot of SP seem happy providing. Even my relaxing massage fallback at Jing Jai as gone up by a fiver...

[rock5tar]

we seriously need to boycot the overpriced girls so they bring the prices down.

I mean poppy is seriously taking the mick now but if people are still seeing her they will prob go even higher not lower.

[marlboro20]

My thoughts are a lot of WGs are just taking the piss on prices and what they provide... and I stay clear. There are a lot of good Brit girls around charging £100-£130ph... including OWO and CIM. Only exceptions I've ever made were Aimy and Alana

Indeed 2 of my best 3 punts were £120 p/h all in (even anal) so not prepared to pay over that except if I really want to see Amy again

You’re living in a dream world. We’re not a union. I would imagine for every individual on here who is like minded on this subject there is at least one if not more who aren’t bothered by the prices. Then there’s the punters who have nothing to do with this site. People pay to fuck purely for their own pleasure not to be part of a society or group.

As for her and others like her I doubt she is too bothered about wether she’s taking the piss. They’re in it purely for the money. I’m afraid to say I would do exactly the same. I do honestly think though that her and others are being backed up by Sugar daddy’s. They’re probably happy to take a hit on the amount of punters they see as the cash is already rolling in.

[rock5tar]

i don think we are a union.

Most of my go to girls have put there prices up recently and i for one are not going to see them anymore.

I just think its ruining our habit / hobby .

I think You may be right about the sugar daddy thing !

[Deepstroker]

Lets all just do nothing then..

[Home Alone]

My punting spend this year is significantly down on previous years for a number of reasons: retirement of a Regular; failure by at least a couple of girls to even reply to requests for an hour of their time to see if they would nake a suitable replacement; and basically beginning to feel my age - now nearer 75 than 70 - in a year when I seem to have to been to more funerals than ever before.

However, I've recently been looking into setting up a mini-Hot list 2 tick some boxes before I stop ringing my Doctor's once a month for a repeat prescription of my Cialis. One of the things which struck me over the time since I last looked for a Reasonably-priced MILF is how the minimum price to qualify for inclusion in that category seems to have gone up from £100 to £120.

I know that the cost of living has gone up for all of us; but by 20%?? I've not done a detailed search but I wouldn't be surprised if many of the girls charging that rate weren't even in the industry a couple of years ago.

[chrishornx]

Don’t agree especially on £80 for 30 minutes as that’s an amount I’ve never paid ever for anyone - I doubt much if anything can be done as people are clearly prepared to pay a lot more than I am

agree it should stay at £60 for 30 mins

Guess it is all a matter of supply and demand and sadly enough are paying the higher prices and that encourages the ladies to keep prices high

[miss Tina sparkle]

I started on 60 pound for half an hour 13 years ago. Thats when it was 13 pound a week for a advert in the paper.
I also worked from a guys flat who had different girls each day working from there.Maybe two or three at a time. So that was brothel prices back then.He got 20 we got 40.The place got raided. He went to jail and the clients was getting hassled by neighbours when they visited. Average price is 80 pounds for half an hour now.  We pay more for advertising plus thers no risk visiting a single lady in a rented apartment or hotel room=more costs for the working girl. It balances out the same. Im sure you can get it for less if you shop around. But.......can u take the risk. Lots of topics on cheap punts turning into a disaster and "i should of known better" ......
For an extra 20 it works out cheaper getting a good fuck not getting blanked when you have arrived, being safe, in a good area with a girl who is in the picture instead of bait and switch. I wont be lowering to 60 for half an hour. Not when i no whats out there.......

And many expensive punts are also disasters - very little correlation between price and service - You May be very good and u can charge what u like but I won’t be seeing u as I won’t pay £80 for 30 minutes

[cueball]

Lots of topics on cheap punts turning into a disaster and "i should of known better" ......

Yes, and lots of topics on expensive punts turning into a disaster and "I wish I'd have kept the money in my pocket"

Price has no bearing on it. I've had great punts for 100 quid on the hour and shite at 150 quid and vice versa.

We talk from experience, you talk from assumptions.

when it comes to a booking for one hour in London, one hundred and twenty is plenty...

20 quid extra guarantees nothing. It’s been proved time and time again, more expense does not mean more quality.

[Fac51]

Great thread this - as myself am a newbie this year to punting, I have found reading everyone's comments extremely interesting.

I personally like booking 1 hour appointments - & believe that £120 should be the maximum I will pay ( although my first punt cost me £140, but I still personally think she was worth it for me at the time, as I learned quite a bit from that Lady on punting & it's potential pitfalls ).

BTW, Going for a FFM before Xmas as a great treat (now confirmed) - I will do report of course 

[NigelF]

Id avoid this one gents... pics are VERY flattering, and service is mediocre at best.... best described as an ex-girlfriend experience.

Even though your punt was a while ago, you should definitely do a review. Most people searching for info on her won't find/see your comment and since she now has 4 positive reviews and only 1 old negative, people probably won't get the "full picture" unless you post a review.

Probably that was the biggest problem with Tontober this year, whilst as it was a good idea a few years ago maybe now we should adjust the criteria to £80/hh and £120/h 

As Bustydusty has said £80 is quite a lot, also £20 on top of £60 is proportionally a lot more than £20 on top of £100. I think £70 is more suitable, especially since there are a number number of good options at this rate. Indeed, despite price having almost no impact on my ratings, I think it's the rate I've had the most "success" at but that's just a gut feeling/guess.

Thicky.... I can't think of a catchy line that rhymes with 120 

When reading this I came up with the idea of "120 is plenty" but it seems I was beaten to it:

when it comes to a booking for one hour in London, one hundred and twenty is plenty...

failure by at least a couple of girls to even reply to requests for an hour of their time to see if they would nake a suitable replacement

This is a key point and it happens to me a surprising amount too. Clearly they don't need the money (and are obviously lazy and probably a bit thick).

Im sure you can get it for less if you shop around. But.......can u take the risk. Lots of topics on cheap punts turning into a disaster and "i should of known better" ......
For an extra 20 it works out cheaper getting a good fuck not getting blanked when you have arrived, being safe, in a good area with a girl who is in the picture instead of bait and switch. I wont be lowering to 60 for half an hour. Not when i no whats out there.......

It's not the price that's the cause of most disasters, it's not doing your research on here (or at least not thoroughly enough) and not knowing or paying enough attention to the warning signs - things like nationality, photos, profile (how it's written, likes list etc) and comms.

In my experience and as Bustydusty, cueball, Kool Keef, Mr_Shins and OakTree have all said/suggested, price is only very loosely correlated with the quality of the punt. This is also backed up by review stats (you can see that in various threads such as this one - https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=94986.0 - I'm aware there's a big flaw due to pricing variation amongst regions but the general conclusion is still valid).

There are plenty of girls in the North West who are well reviewed on here and charge £60 or £70 for half an hour - see this table I created for some examples (click on the cost column to arrange them in that order): External Link/Members Only

To be fair, I think you can get away with relatively high rates (I presume you're £80 or more for the half hour) because you're not based in Manchester, otherwise I'm sure you'd have to lower your rates in order to compete. You might be able to do fine on a tour but not if you were based there. Escorts in Liverpool and areas like Wirral are just "overpriced" compared to their Manchester counterparts, presumably due to lack of supply in the local area and also just the typical rates of WGs being higher - which is really weird because as far as I can see the average quality is lower compared to Manchester (although I might not be right about that in terms of percentage - because there are relatively so many escorts in Manchester, many of whom will be shit).

BTW, Going for a FFM before Xmas as a great treat (now confirmed) - I will do report of course 

Nice one, hope it goes well.
