Shanghai Fuxing INS – All Access Ticket for 7 nightclubs
Shanghai Fuxing INS packs a whole night of Shanghai clubbing into one ticket. The huge complex gives you access to several venues in one building, so you can move from one style of music and crowd to another without arranging separate cover charges. It is a popular meeting place for young locals, and a useful choice if you want a serious night out rather than a quiet cocktail bar.
I like the practical ticket help, especially if you do not have a Chinese phone number or cannot complete payment with a local app or bank card. I also like the value of the included drinks, with one drink at each club and unlimited drinks at FRiENDS. The main drawback is clear: this is a ticket purchasing service, not a guided pub crawl, and the real cost is far higher than the $1.35 display price.
Key points to know
- Several clubs in one complex: The pass covers Freshman, HUSH, RADi, Culture Club, DIRTY HOUSE, FRiENDS, LA FIN, and ANOTHER SIDE according to the current venue list.
- Drinks are included: You receive one drink at each club, plus unlimited drinks at FRiENDS.
- The displayed price is not the ticket price: The $1.35 amount is used only because the booking platform does not allow a zero-price listing.
- Actual ticket prices vary by night: Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday are listed at ¥180 after the booking fee, while Friday and Saturday are listed at ¥310.
- You go without a guide: Tony helps arrange the purchase after contact and payment, but you explore INS on your own.
- Plan ahead: Tickets are nonrefundable after purchase and are valid only for the night selected.
What kind of night is Shanghai Fuxing INS?

Fuxing INS is designed for a full evening of club hopping under one roof. The attraction is not a sightseeing tour or a small local bar crawl. It is a large nightlife zone where you can spend around seven hours moving among different rooms, taking photos, listening to DJs, and seeing how Shanghai’s younger crowd spends a night out.
The format suits you if you want options. You are not tied to one dance floor all evening. If one club feels too crowded, too loud, or simply not to your taste, you can try another venue in the same complex.
That convenience matters in Shanghai. Buying separate entry at several clubs can be confusing, and the payment systems may be difficult if you do not have WeChat payment, the official app, or a Chinese phone number. This service handles the ticket purchase for you, then leaves you free to enjoy the night.
Do not expect a personal escort from club to club. You need to make your own way through the building and manage your own evening. The small-group limit of 10 applies to the booking service, not to a private guided party inside the clubs.

The ticket list, from Freshman to ANOTHER SIDE

The supplied pass information names eight venues, even though the experience is often described as access to seven nightclubs. That difference is worth checking when you book, since club participation and nightly access can change.
The locations are listed by floor:
- Freshman: B1 to 1F
- HUSH: 2F
- RADi: 3F
- Culture Club: 4F
- DIRTY HOUSE: 4F
- FRiENDS: 5F
- LA FIN: 6F
- ANOTHER SIDE: 6F
This floor-by-floor arrangement gives the night a natural rhythm. You can start low in the building, then work upward as the evening develops. The exact music, crowd, and atmosphere may vary by night, so I would avoid choosing a favorite club before you arrive.
Having several names on the ticket also gives you a useful backup plan. You might like one room for dancing, another for photos, and another for a quieter drink. The pass is most useful when you treat the complex as a group of choices rather than a fixed itinerary.
What happens during the seven-hour visit?

Your evening begins with ticket check-in at Fuxing INS. The booking service is not a meet-and-greet tour, so you should be prepared to follow the venue’s entry instructions yourself after receiving the ticket details.
Once inside, you can visit the participating clubs in the building. The experience has no set order, and you do not need to remain with a group. That freedom is a major advantage for independent night owls, though it also means you are responsible for keeping track of your ticket, phone, belongings, and meeting plans.
A practical approach is to look around early, note which floors interest you, and then return to the rooms that suit your mood. The complex includes clubs from the basement level through the sixth floor, so comfortable shoes are sensible even though the night is indoors.
The seven-hour duration gives you time to settle in instead of rushing through every doorway. You can spend longer in one venue or try as many of the listed rooms as you like. The ticket does not promise a private table, a reserved seat, or a dedicated host, so your experience depends on the night’s crowd and club activity.
The included drinks and what they are worth

One drink is included at each club listed in the pass, with unlimited drinks at FRiENDS on the fifth floor. This is the strongest part of the value calculation for anyone who intends to visit several venues.
At the lower Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday price of ¥180 including the booking fee, the drinks can make the pass reasonable if you use several of them. On Friday and Saturday, the listed total is ¥310, so you should compare that price with the cover charges and drink costs you would face on your own.
You should still read the final ticket conditions carefully before paying. The information says you do not need to buy extra drinks, but additional drinks are not included beyond the stated allowance. The unlimited FRiENDS benefit may also be the part you use most, depending on how long you stay there.
Drink packages are useful, but they should not be the only reason you book. If you rarely drink or plan to spend only a short time inside, a full-night pass may offer less value. If you want to visit several clubs and stay for hours, the calculation improves.

The real price, not the tempting $1.35
The $1.35 figure is not the cost of your club ticket. It appears only because the platform requires a price instead of allowing the service to be listed at zero. Think of it as a booking placeholder for help with the purchase.
The current prices provided are:
- Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday: ¥168, plus 8 percent booking service, listed as ¥180 total
- Friday and Saturday: ¥288, plus 8 percent booking service, listed as ¥310 total
The final amount may change. A well-known DJ lineup can bring an extra charge, and official prices may be updated. Ask for the exact price for your chosen night before you complete payment.
You should also understand the service fee. The provider states that helping you buy the ticket costs more than buying directly through WeChat, and coupons cannot be used. You are paying for access to a payment and booking solution, not for a discount.
That can still be worthwhile. If you lack a Chinese bank card, phone number, WeChat access, or the official app, the extra cost may save you a great deal of time and frustration. If you can complete the official purchase yourself, buying direct should usually be cheaper. The provider’s own ticket-buying guide may help you compare the two options.
Why the booking service helps some visitors
The useful part of Tony’s role is simple. After you place the order, he contacts you by email, usually within 12 hours, to discuss the ticket details. Once you finish payment for the ticket, he books it for you.
This is not an automatic system. You should contact him early, especially for Friday or Saturday, when demand and prices are higher. Do not wait until the afternoon of your intended club night and assume the purchase will happen instantly.
The process requires trust and clear communication. The ticket cannot be refunded after purchase and is valid only for the selected night. Confirm the date, final price, included venues, and any special lineup charge before you authorize the booking.
Past service feedback includes a strong practical point: Tony was described as reliable after payment, and one person who felt unsure at first found the booking process worked out properly. Another account praised the useful tips and said the ticket covered the evening without extra spending. Those details support the value of the service for people who need help, but they do not turn it into a guided tour.
What you will not get
You will not get hotel pickup, drop-off, a local guide, or someone leading you around the clubs. You also should not expect the provider to buy tickets first and collect payment later. The process requires you to pay for the ticket before it is booked.
There is no promise of a private table, reserved entrance, special treatment, or personal club host in the information provided. You receive ticket-purchasing help and the access package, then enjoy the complex independently.
This distinction is important because the wording can sound like a standard nightlife tour. It is closer to a supported ticket purchase. You get help with the difficult part, then handle the actual evening yourself.
Choosing your night and avoiding early-session confusion
Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday are the cheaper nights listed. They may suit you if price matters or if you want a less expensive way to see the complex. Friday and Saturday cost more, but they are the natural choice for a weekend party night.
Be careful with early-session tickets. Other prices may refer to time-limited entry periods with strict check-in rules. This service does not help book those early sessions because missing the required entry time can mean being refused entry.
Ask for the normal night ticket and confirm its entry conditions. A lower price is not useful if you cannot arrive during the permitted window.
You should also check the night’s lineup. A well-known performer can bring an additional charge, and the final official rate is the amount that matters. Get this information before payment rather than relying on the displayed $1.35 amount.
Who will enjoy this most?
I would recommend this service to an adult who wants Shanghai nightlife but cannot manage the local ticketing system. It is especially suited to someone without a Chinese phone number or with trouble paying through WeChat, the official app, or a bank card.
It also suits friends who want freedom. You can split up for a while, meet again upstairs, or leave when you are ready. You are not tied to a guide’s route or a fixed club order.
The experience is not suitable for children under 18, and the supplied information also excludes people over 55. The service is clearly aimed at an adult clubbing crowd, not at families or visitors looking for a cultural evening.
I would think twice if you dislike large nightlife venues, do not drink, or want a quiet night with personal conversation. I would also compare the direct ticket price first if you already use WeChat and can read the purchase instructions.
Practical advice before you pay
Contact the provider as early as possible. You need time for the email exchange, confirmation of the date, and payment before the ticket is booked.
Save the final ticket information on your phone, and keep your booking details available at entry. Since the ticket is valid only on the selected night, check the date twice.
Wear shoes you can manage for several hours. The venues occupy multiple floors, and you may spend much of the night walking between rooms and standing or dancing.
Plan a meeting point with friends before entering. This is not a guided group experience, and mobile service or noise may make last-minute arrangements difficult.
Finally, decide how much you actually want from the pass. If you plan to visit several venues and use the included drinks, the price can be fair. If you only want one quick look, paying for a full-night access package and booking assistance may not be the best use of your money.
Should you book Shanghai Fuxing INS?
Book it if you want a full club night in Shanghai and need help getting the ticket through Chinese payment systems. The included drinks, unlimited drinks at FRiENDS, and access to multiple floors give you plenty of flexibility.
Skip it if you can buy directly, want a cheaper night, or expect a guided pub crawl. The service fee is real, the $1.35 display price is not the ticket cost, and the final amount can rise for weekend nights or major DJ lineups.
For the right person, this is a useful workaround and a lively way to sample several Shanghai clubs in one evening. Just treat it honestly: you are buying access and booking help, not a hosted tour.
