That is why I included World Class in my price comparisons. Their price ranges was on par with other agencies elsewhere.
Flat rate fun?

There are a few who would gladly pay that rate. . .
I hope these SP's see the difference in the number of bookings that they get (I would assume less here than C-town). The proof would only show in the number of return trips that these SP's make to Edmonton. Those who choose to return, (wisely) adjust their rates, while others simply skip Edmonton on their western tours (which is tough as only Calgary is the lucrative high-priced market, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Victoria are competitive and reasonably-priced markets as well).
Some visiting SP's are charging that rate now - these SP's seem to think that it's the same market environment here as it is in Calgary (which is a local SP wasteland compared to Edmonton - i.e. due to LE's constant "attention").... but still $400 per hour for basic FS service is too much...
Thankfully, there is hope. Annalise Lane is offering $250 per hour outcall GFE. It's great that she's keeping it honest!

Working for an escort agency has tons of "hidden" fees which you don't know about which is why I decided to go independent. I get to charge less, because I don't have lots of fees coming up unexpectedly.
Example:
per call fee: $100/1/2hr, 125/hr
driver fee: 40-in town, 50-80 out of edmonton
ad fee: 250/week
late coming out of a call: 5mins-$100, 10min or more-$500 (depending on the boss' mood)
not answering phone when booked on-$500
costume fee:$50-$100(bear in mind, this is the girls' own costume)
credit card/debit call: 6-11% usually charged to client, and rounded up ex. $236--$240
I got really fed up with having to leave 5min before time was up when client was not yet satisfied and having the client get angry at me watching the time, and my driver and/or boss calling me on the phone asking where I am. Some girls have it rough when working for agencies.
Although I have to say I felt much safer when with an agency because people knew of my whereabouts, I had a registered driver, etc.
IN COMPARISON
working for a vancouver agency briefly a couple years ago I had very specific fees.
driver: $40
agency: $-- can't remember
and that's it. the company did not take credit card/debit so it was quite alot easier as well as there was a higher volume of calls then edmonton which could also be another factor of the prices girls charge. less calls, have to charge more.
It was possible for a girl to get ~10 calls a night in vancouver while in Edmonton the norm is 0-4 calls per night

Especially since they are all available at a parlour!those rates are too high for me... thats all I know
I guess however for those guys who want something after 11pm this does present an option with a known entity so there is something to be said for that.
One has to pay extra for . . .
"home delivery" and "extended hours" - and yes, long distance travel as well.

once again u guys have to take into account the reason for the huge difference in prices vancouver vs. edmonton.
a vancouver SP can get be completely booked for 12-14hrs a night therefore able to charge less because of the quantity of calls.
an edmonton SP will get MAYBE an average of 2-6 calls a WEEK therefore having to charge more.

I still do outcalls guys. My rates are $350 for the full hour...all inclusive. That is for everything unless you wanted fetish stuff or something along those lines and then it is only an extra $50. I always try to get the guys to come into the MP first. I tell them the benefits of coming in as apposed to an out call. I think the rates are outrageous as well but it is true our expenses are higher. That is why i try to talk them into coming in instead. There is also that safety factor too. It is scary for a girl to walk into a place to someone that she has never met before. Especially someone like me who is tiny(5 feet tall and 120 lbs) and would take nothing to overpower if they really wanted to. Hence my driver has to be paid to sit there the whole time waiting for me to come out.Here's my understanding. Ashlee and Mischa decided two years ago to split the money and get an escort license for their company "World Class Escorts" ($4,539 per year).
Individually they are employees working under their own company. I believe their agency license acts as an umbrella policy and it covers them and any other employees they hire: Malaysia, Charlize and April. All 5 ladies are also individually license to work for that particular agency World Class ($113 per year each).
Here's the City of Edmonton website offering more info on escort licenses: http://www.edmonton.ca/portal/serve...nces/licencing+information/Escort+Licence.htm
Ashlee is planning her retirement from escorting.
But I do have clients that I practically beg to come in, instead of using the money as an outcall. But they just cant bring themselves to come in and would rather pay the extra to have me see them in their hotel room.
Now this brings me to my next point too.....For those that are interested. I DONT DO PRIVATE HOMES. Hotels only. Unless I have been with you before.
And I dont do outcalls after 1 am. This is just asking for trouble. Please understand my concerns on this. The murder of this poor escort, has made me relieved to know that I dont sway from my rules of engagement regarding my out calls.
We all work hard for our money. *well I dont hee hee* But you deserve to get what you pay for. Shop around like many girls have said. Not all of us are out to take you to the cleaners.
love and laughs
April
