Switch has publicly criticised Scott Disick after he pulled out of his appearance at the venue last night.
The nightclub published a Facebook post at around 10pm condemning the reality star, who informed them he wouldn’t be there less than two hours before he was meant to turn up, due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’.
The club consequently lost out on £2,000 for the bar staff, door staff and pre-event promotion, plus an expected £10K in bar takings.
Ryan Keary, owner of Switch, spoke to the Soton Tab about the ordeal. He said:
These celebrities with too much money have no respect for their bookings or their fans – they are so detached from reality and don’t think of the consequences.
People have booked hotels, bought outfits, booked days off work etc. These morons don’t think about the little things like that.
So so glad I never bought a ticket to see Scott Disick at switch as he was a no show as predicted

This news comes just days after Snoop Dogg’s cancellation of his performance at Switch, which was scheduled for Wednesday 4 March.
The club is now hesitant to book Khloe Kardashian, who has been rumoured to make an appearance. Ryan added:
We were waiting to see how the Scott show went before we booked Khloe. We were very cautious.
We can’t afford for this to happen again both money wise and reputation.
Switch are offering all ticket holders for last night’s event full refunds, plus a free ticket to the club’s St Patrick’s Day event.
What do you think of this second celebrity cancellation at Switch? Are the celebs worth it? Or should the venue stick to DJs? Let us know in the comments!
I have literally never heard of Scott Disick, but when they make a booking why don’t the clubs make the “celebrities” sign some sort of agreement? I’m not a lawyer but it can’t be that difficult. (Cue law students explaining why this would be unworkable).

Artist contracts are set so that the venue can’t pull out without having to pay a fee (usually 50%) but the artists can pull out at any time for pretty much any reason and not encounter any penalty other than refunding the venue.
Only thing that stops them is that they get a bad rep and other booking agents refuse to book them for other venues if they keep doing it.

Who the fuck is Scott Disick? Also, Khloe Kardashian? What’s she going to do, sit there and look mildly attractive for 2 hours then take home a fat paycheck? Save yourself the trouble and don’t bother.

The original comment from switch used a lot more colourful language. They took it down after a few minutes and reposted this response without the word cunt in it. Preferred the original!

Seriously, who is this guy and what exactly is it he does to make him a celebrity? Maybe I’m just getting too old, but I can remember famous people got famous for something that they did. Are we to believe that celebrity is now achievable by doing absolutely fuck all? If so, can someone offer me an appearance fee too. I’ll definitely show up. I cannot do anything, but that doesn’t appear to matter. Oh, and by the way, I have no idea who Khloe Kardashian is either.
