Running out of tickets...how do you economize?

[dap-addict]

Was away a few days twice and now I see I need those 12 to 15 new DAPs.
Got new tickets meanwhile, but I still need to re-charge 120tkt again.
Just can't do it without as much as I'd like and as much as I try!

[dap-addict]

4 days on zero tickets!
I tried it but tonight I couldn't resist Vicky Sol - and good so!
Watched old DAPs, some I didnt have time to check out really, but a new release is always a new release!

Gonna do some shopping now!

[drevokocur66]

@267tix with no wet content to buy.

@267tix with no wet content to buy.

We got a great Alexa Flexy wet scene, but otherwise I support you. I have bought almost every wet scene except the rough and violent shit. The old wet scenes are more about equal sharing of the sensation. Now it seems like it has to be degrading and rough, just because it is wet.

I only need one or two per week, but if they were with more than one girl I would buy all of them regardless of how many.

Oh yeah, a fantastic, fantastic scene.

Always if I run out of tickets I dont buy:
- no bushy DAPs!
- no prior pussy sex DAPs (no DPs of course! - exception are some gonzo NHB of girls I really just want)
- no prolapse DAPs!
- anal only with Dylan only!

[dap-addict]

Just realized that TS and gonzo made it quite easy for me to save some tickets so far in 2020.
Still running on my last 120 ticket re-charge but buying quite a few DAPs again last few days.
Its a happy shopping experience lately!
A bit like Winter sale!

[YumYum74]

In general I don't have to economize at all, but January was especially easy. Just a selection of Gio/Gio's Lab scenes and the occasional IV scene. My bulk purchases are usually a combo of Gio/Gonzo, so without checking I would estimate my purchases so far this year have dropped around 40% maybe.

So...thanks Gonzo?

[SimplyStunning]

I never have to economize and it is made even easier with all the 0% Pussy and DAP focused scene LP produces from Giorgio and Gonzo studio. I wish American Anal would produce more content to purchase like the new Lexi Lore scene.

[dap-addict]

Just realized that TS and gonzo made it quite easy for me to save some tickets so far in 2020.

3mt and some more TS scenes later I probably had to re-charge 2 or 3 times with 120tkts and just bought 11 more DAPs I had re-sheduled for buying while trying to economize my porn spendings a bit.
Have reached 2000 LP DAP scenes today if I counted right and so happy about it!

[ExtremePornFan]

When my tkts get low I start being more selective. There is a sizable catalog of free porn here too a lot of it is very good. I own a lot I have not really watched anyway at some point I will have to watch every single video I have

[Jocke]

I have started to watch all my scenes from the beginning again!
I am at page 38 of 124!
It will take some time.
Especially as I am always checking for a new wet or multigirl scene first (or multigirl+wet scene = instabuy) which delays the progress.

[abcad90210]

Up until recently, I was having a very hard time, and I was having to reload an extra 120 tickets a month. The reason is that I was trying to buy almost every scene, even if I wasn't sure if I would ever watch it, because I wanted to support LP, as the last company that really seemed to be pushing the porn envelope. But now, since they are apparently moving toward being just another mainstream company, I see no need to do that, so I will probably just buy scenes with girls I really like, or scenes that have lots of ATM/ATOGM, or some other fetish that I really like. I will also probably stop buying any scene where the girl is stripped totally naked for the majority of the sex.

I was like that too. But then I realised most other sites include unlimited access to everything. Some of those scenes (like Rebel rhyder in another site I won’t mention, etc are harder than 90% of LP. IF we got back loyalty fine but removing messaging free tkts 1 then 2 years then never and now all the OTS crap has made me ONLY buy creampie to other girls mouth gangbangs ie what I came here for. So I have enough tkts now

[drevokocur66]

I at 252tix, had to cancel membership because I fear I will run up more tix with nothing to buy.

[lemmy123]

A few weeks ago, I didn't think very long before buying a scene. I liked the girl, or the fetish or whatever? INSTABUY!
I recharged tickets frequently, didn't really thinking about economizing.

Since the new pricing policy, it became more easy to economize:
1. no more INSTA_BUYs
I add every video, which I am about to buy, to my wishlist and wait, until I get new tickets. Meanwhile I watch some older unwatched scenes from my stock.
When I get new tickets, I go to my wishlist and decide, which scenes I will really buy. The rest? Well, sorry...
2. max 7 tickets per scene
Sorry Susan for not supporting your todays video...

And so I have to recharge very less frequently than before

[drevokocur66]

Absolutely not an issue for me at the moment.

I'm running a bit into the same currently.
There is still INSTA_BUY with me, bit its strictly 0% DAP only.
All the rest is getting re-sheduled for my wishlist - and now the worst: I might not be able to support the girls I want DAP-ed in future that way. But than I can't buy every anal only scene of a girl I like for 3,8 to 4,2tkts now, otherwise I can't buy my DAP fix anymore.

I'll see if and when I'll adapt, but I am frankly waiting for some changes in monthly ticket allocations.

[Sir Noel]

Funnily enough the price hikes were probably what I needed.
I have sunk two full memberships and regular reloads into this site for too long. Now I have cancelled the last of my memberships and am sitting on the remaining tickets.
I feel kind of priced out of this site now and that is saving me hundreds a year on scenes that, being truthful, I don't really need and largely didn't watch, just catalogued and stored away.

[dap-addict]

Meanwhile 1on1 anal is at 4,5 to 6,7tkt!
I usually skip them meanwhile and wait till DAP but thus many drop out never getting booked for that.

[Starrio]

Sometimes you just have to accept you can't have everything.

A good way to choose is buying those scenes that you already know you are going to enjoy.

But even then you may still have to keep a large wishlist just to get them when you get the funds.

I have any items on my wishlist, so when there aren't anything I like, I can always choose from those.

Almost 100% of the time I end up buying from my wishlist over what is on the recommendations.

However I do admit that NRX, Valter Karo, Vira Gold, Mr. Anderson Academy, RPSN, Galla, Faplex, Erika Korti, Rock Corp, GLab, basically anything coming from Russia makes it harder to keep up because they have so much amazing content it is overwhelming sometimes.

However many of my videos are still interracial BBC stuff from Czech studios, and almost everything from Natasha Teen too.

[bake0213]

It's easy to economize even with the higher prices:

1. No scenes with unattractive models - for ME this includes anyone with a lot of tattoos or is overweight (in 'Merika we call it curvy!)
2. No scenes with prolapse. It just kind of grosses me out.
3. No scenes without DP in it. Nothing wrong with 0% pussy - I just prefer a good dp mixed with hard anal.

[xxxVIPERxxx]

When I am getting low on tickets and I cannot reload straight away (this can happen from time to time, but it is rare).
This is how I economise and deduce which scenes not to buy:

1) No scenes where the model does not wear and keep sexy high heels on.
2) No scenes with models who I do not find attractive (personal taste is subjective so I shall refrain from naming specific models).
3) No scenes with certain fetishes/niche that I do not find appealing e.g. BBW, barefoot, toys only, short scenes etc.
4) No scenes where the majority of the action is vaginal, unless it contains a fair bit of DVP and/or TVP.
5) No scenes that are not professionally shot e.g. poor lighting, poor make-up, poor standards.

[drevokocur66]

No chance of running out of tix. With so much fake creampies, tip fucking, no ATM, partial insertions, circus sex, and spit n spill specials, it is easier than ever to pass.

[spiny78]

I got into the lovely Kristy Black in a big way lately. I economised by only buying 75 scenes with her, and leaving the other 26 in the store, although a handful of those are on my wishlist.

[spiny78]

Same with Kira Thorn, I left 2 in the store, I didn't need them.

Me, too, I didn't buy all meanwhile 77 Kristy Black DAPs yet.
I keep some in the box for dry times, though.

[dap-addict]

It's really hard to face it, but I cant buy all DAP scenes I fancy anymore.
I was at 3000 DAP in Summer 2019 and planned for 6000 by this Summer, but I'd need to allocate 1500$ for the next 3 weeks! It's basically possible, but since it wont stop me from buying more after June 21st it wouldn't be wise in terms of sustainability.

Also have to tighten my shopping criteria.
For instance I got attached to some girls I'd bill chubby or MILF in my book and rather re-shedule their DAP scenes hopeing to buy them eventually for free tickets. While it worked fine 2-3years ago, it doenst work anymore now.

How do others trick themselves to spend less, but still support girls, studios and biz?

Through various manners, I think the total amount of money that I have spent on LPAV is well in excess of 12,000.00 USD. That is with a carefully planned strategy to tighten up spending too, especially ever since the war in Europe started.

My previous post in this forum thread suggested how I can economise, based on a set of requirements.

Tricks to help with this, are the girl must be someone I find personally attractive...this will cut out a lot of scenes, the scene must be a good quality scene made with attention/care so it looks good, this cuts out even more scenes. Then there are certain fetishes I like e.g sexy high heels kept on, tongue stud, tattoos, giant enhanced boobs, big tits, MILFS, wrecked ass, monster buttrosing etc...if a scene contains a lot of those things or most of them...then they are bought. If only some of those criteria are fulfilled then put on watchlist to buy at a later point.

[doraemon_washington]

6. try to get at least stockings, ideally with heels on during most of the sex

u prefer to see high heels covering the soles instead of the soles??

disturbing

how can u prefer high heels over barefoot

high heels are a artificial man-made boring thing

the sole + anal makes anal hotter

[dap-addict]

Looks like it would be possible to economize quite some large amounts of TKT going to Sheer for porn shopping instead.
Do I get this right?

Ignored Sheer a bit so far, but since I started boycotting some more studios for the time being, this looks like a good alternative option maybe.

Also started thus thread helping to economize ideally: viewtopic.php?f=96&t=67658

Are all the big studio scenes on here available on SHEER too, at a cheaper price?
I always thought...NO, and if it is the same scene - they price it the same or very similarly...

[dap-addict]

No, GIO labels and gonzo cant be bought at Sheer.
But a lot of other studios offer subcriptions for the price of 1-3 scenes per month. Like AGO, NRX, LTP, EK, LVP, VK etc.

[xxxVIPERxxx]

Thanks, GIO and Gonzo remain my top 2 studios...I buy a fair bit from LTP and NTP on here, but am too lazy to set up another system/platform...even if it saves me money

It really doesn't take long. I found that AnalVids had already automatically created a Sheer account for me - I just had to log in. Think they might do it for all users.

Anyway - back to ticket bargains, Gio has released a super cheap new scene with Anna De Ville today - guess this must be the new discounted ticket price experiment he mentioned a while back. Fingers crossed it sells loads and becomes more than a one-off. I must admit I was starting to feel slightly burned out by Anna - not because she's not an amazing performer - but I've seen her in so many scenes that buying another for 10+ tickets wasn't a huge draw. At this price however, it's a no brainer instant buy! https://pornbox.com/application/watch-page/500761

[dap-addict]

Fingers crossed it sells loads and becomes more than a one-off.

I cant buy it now because I just run out of TKT and I dont re-load with my 120TKT re-load option since some latest developments in May.
But anyway, let's really hope Anna de Ville did it on her completely free will and wasnt talked into trying this test. She seems to be dependent mainly on 1 studio only, which might make her more vulnerable. Depends really on the fairness and sustainability level of studio!

I am sorry to hear about those latest developments in May that you mentioned @dap-addict. I can relate....
For me, for the past 14 months or so, I had also experienced such problems where I could not regularly reload for personal reasons (my second wife was being extremely controlling with my money/ finances, and she had been openly stating that she really wanted a divorce for a while). We tried for a long time, over 2.5 years to make it work...it was one of the primary reasons that I signed up to LPAV in the first place. That helped to prolong my marriage a lot longer than I envisaged, so I must give genuine praise and a big THANK YOU to LPAV, to GIO, Gonzo, Yummy, LTP, NTP, and other studios.
However, for my wife's mental wellbeing, and to match her deep wishes and desires, we decided that a mutual splitting and a divorce was the right thing in the end. I want her to be happy, I will always love her (she looks a little like a curvier version of Alura Jenson)...and without sounding too sad and miserable, at least it opens me up and I can be a legally SINGLE man again (with lots of stepchildren, and children though)....not so much the YOUNG and FREE part hehe, but at least single

The best way to economise, switch off and disengage from the lower tier studios, and stick to the ones that are known and trusted....

Oh, sounds sad, still. I'm sorry!
For me it's not personal reasons, but developments within the porn biz in Prague I cant associate with a sustainable and fair way of conduct anymore. Before I had put a boycott on 1 studio which stole girls from others and payed really bad fees thus getting only a certain kind of girls usually. Now in May I decided to put 3 more studios on hold and basically add the whole Prague crowd - and on last resort LP and Sheer owners.

Personally this saved me over 1k $ for sure.
However, today I just started re-loading a bit again to get a grip on some Latina DAP releases recently. I currently feel Rio and Medellin studios produce a fairer porn product, but for sure all studios are under economic pressure, which furthers bad biz habits sadly.

you know what, back off.
I have really enough of you spreading bullshit, doubts and assumptions all around, when you evidently do not have a fucking clue of what you are fucking talking about

- Anna deosnt work only for this website or from me, she actually work a lot also for other companies you do not even know because you care only about 2 dicks in the ass. The world doesnt finish here at the "pb enviroment" as there is also an industry outside from this box. She is financially independent without me and without PB. She deosnt need anyone and she has a clue about porn (this is also the reason why she is in her position)

- FYI: Anna, asked me to shoot a scene at conditions I did not consider enough fair for her (she had her own reason you do not need to care), so I asked instead to join this experiment as I knew it could be for her more profitable than the conditions she proposed (in fact it is) and give her a better result in her reasons (and it did).

Also, something that is not absolutely related to the scene we are talking about: Anna is actually one of the few female performer to who was not proposed a cut to her payout or to change her working deal from "paid by scene" to revenushare
Well she anyway offered her availability to discuss about it if necessary. I could have brought down her payout as soon she asked, but I told her that for now is not necessary (and I still believe it is not necessary, but in short time, in rewshare, I believe she will make more money than "pay by scene")

The true is that you are demeaning all female performers to some kind of endangered animal that needs to be protected. It is not like this.

[dap-addict]

Oh, I see, my message came through.
I'll back off in this, dont worry. Its AdV's decision - and for sure shared profits is an experiment worth trying. It could actually lead to a fair profit and risk participation and fuel a fee revolution in Europorn.

On the other hand I know at least 10 female performers who were asked openly or not openly but by referring to seemingly low sales (most of them not visible in sales ranks at least) to perform the same acts as before for lower payment. This was done by different studios in Prague. On top we both are aware of health risks I dont wanna get into here, but they might explain some of my assumptions as you call it. Anyway, girls were asked to perform for less while in Czech inflation still runs high and most other working ppl got less payment cuts, ie. minus 6,7% in "normal" jobs vs. 13% or so in porn jobs.

The true is that you are demeaning all female performers to some kind of endangered animal that needs to be protected. It is not like this.

I do my best to not demean anybody, neither female performers, nor male performers, nor porn studios or directors! This is the reason I always add that there is ofc a big economic pressure now in EU and because of that War for all involved. I am also aware that some girls are more than mean to their fans as well as their employers. And I try to differ who is who. It's sure not as easy as it seems to tell black and white.

now what you write makes sense and deserves and answer
who decide the price of a model on the PB environment?
the model? the producer? the market?
who decide is... the market. maybe a model propose a price, the producer agree or disagree according to the market.
on the other way around, when a producer propose a price to a model, the price is based on what the market can give for that model
the model is free to disagree and do not work, its up to her.

if the market goes as it was until few months ago (lots of studio shooting the same content with only few good models) what happen is a rise in price of female performers (and so a rise in the price of the content for you because studio needs to keep the models working for them, so offer more money to models).
inflation is also in accounting, but you cant consider rise of price of basic good as a long term reason to increase the price. this because 10% rise in living cost for a model is maybe 200$, for a company like me is maybe 20k or even more every month because rise of basic good are minimal comparing to rise of energy, travels, etc..

as the market is doing now (less studio and still only few models), the option are 2:
- everyone agrees to keep the high price of model and content (no free market)
- someone decrease the price and other studio that are still alive, maybe follow to survive or if they dont decrease the price, if they shoot the same kind of content, they are going to die

now, there is still a long way for the price (of the content) to decrease congruously, because running cost od production are still crazy, but they will as the price of the models will decrease (and so for company as they get smaller to decrease cost but they need to cash months of loss, so it takes more time)
covid created a bubble and the bubble is gone. when everyone understand this point, we maybe came back to a normal scheme in few months (everything needs to be re-built, starting from scouting, production will grow again but will take years to arrive to the same level of 2021)

STD
The standard of STD prevention you can see in prague/buda now, are the higher in the history of porn. is it perfect? is it no for sure, but its really over the standard of 2019 (dont consider the covid time as much less possibility to interact between performers because of travel restrictions and so on)
STD are part of the risk of every performer, like a bricklayer can fall down from a scaffold a performer can get a STD. What we can do is to test the more is possible in reliable places, we can do just this and we do it.

Overall, market changes and we need to adapt. First of all, who is still releasing content, needs to compensate the loss of this year. Market has been very unstable and competition between studios infected from lots of bullshit and unprofessionalism most of serious production. I adapted the production to the market and I am getting results in august, finally. I have a loss this year with 6 figures and the first, if you consider everything, is not a one.
But I am still here, other are not.

Remember this. When market is stable, producer can put the loss shooting a model with low sales on the shoulder of another model that has good sales. When the market is not stable he can not do it. The result is easy, models that do not have an audience enough stable to provide good sales, will be paid less or she will not work (and she is totally free to avoid working)

the scene with anna will be monitored, I need to understand how the scene does on next 2 months, but I think we are getting somewhere and price will drop, at least from my side (not for all models at beginning, but for some). I will do more experiments soon.
