Short answer: entry to KOKO Camden typically costs £15–£25, with headline nights priced higher. The longer answer matters more, because KOKO does not work the way most London clubs do.
KOKO Is Ticket Entry — Not Guestlist
This is the single thing most people get wrong. KOKO is a live music venue first, and entry works accordingly: you buy a ticket for the specific event. There is no guestlist in the Mayfair sense, where a promoter adds your name for free or reduced entry.
If you are used to Tape, Cuckoo or Maddox, this is a genuine change of model. At those venues the guestlist is the cheap way in. At KOKO, the ticket is the way in.
Typical Entry Prices
- Standard Friday or Saturday club night: around £15–£25 per ticket
- Headline DJ nights and special events: higher, and they rise as the date approaches
- Live gigs: priced per show and entirely separate from the club-night programme
Prices are a guide and vary by event. Advance tickets are almost always cheaper than the door.
Can You Pay on the Door?
Yes — if there is space. Tickets can usually be bought on the door when the event has not sold out, but that is the gamble. Big-name Saturdays and headline shows regularly sell out in advance, and turning up hoping to pay at the door is how people end up standing on Camden High Street with nowhere to go.
Buy ahead if your date is fixed. Leave it to the door only if you are flexible about the night.
The Cheapest Way In
Book early. Because KOKO is ticketed rather than guestlisted, the usual London trick of getting on a free list before midnight does not apply — the saving comes from buying in advance rather than at the door, and from avoiding headline nights if budget matters more than the line-up.
Tables Include Entry
If you are coming as a group, a table changes the maths. A VIP table booking covers priority entry for your whole group — nobody buys a separate ticket and nobody queues.
Balcony booths start from £1,000 minimum spend and premium floor-side tables from £1,500. Across a group of ten that is £100 each including entry and drinks, which compares reasonably with ten tickets plus a night of buying at the bar. Full detail in our table and bottle prices guide.
Age Requirement
KOKO club nights are 18+ and photo ID is required. See our KOKO age policy guide for accepted ID.
What Else to Budget For
- Drinks — bar prices are Camden rather than Mayfair, noticeably gentler than a Mill Street round
- Cloakroom — worth it in winter, and the queue is shorter early
- Getting home — a 4am finish means a night bus or a taxi; the Northern line is not running
