Question 1

What is the "Drink Spiking at San Antonio Clubs" scam in Ibiza?

Accepted Answer

Drink spiking is a documented high-risk problem in the San Antonio West End bar strip and in clubs along the Privilege and Pacha corridors. Victims report memory loss, extreme disorientation, and in serious cases sexual assault. Perpetrators include both strangers and in some reported cases bar staff, who may spike drinks while serving them. Never leave your drink unattended. Cover glasses when moving through crowds. If you feel disproportionately intoxicated relative to what you consumed, immediately alert someone you trust and get to a safe location. Ibiza has a 24-hour harm reduction service at Can Misses Hospital and outreach teams in San Antonio.

Question 2

What is the "Fake VIP Club Packages from Promoters" scam in Ibiza?

Accepted Answer

Promoters on the street in San Antonio and Ibiza Town sell "VIP entry" packages to famous clubs (Ushuaïa, Pacha, Amnesia) claiming fast-track entry and drink discounts. The tickets are fake or for different dates. Buy club tickets only from official club websites or their box offices. Never buy from street promoters, regardless of how convincing the ticket looks. Check the date, event, and price against the club's own website.

Question 3

What is the "Scooter and Quad Bike Rental Damage Scam" scam in Ibiza?

Accepted Answer

Rental companies photograph rental vehicles poorly or not at all, then charge for pre-existing scratches or dents upon return, claiming the damage occurred during your rental. Deposits are withheld entirely. Photograph and video the entire vehicle before accepting it. Share timestamped photos with the rental company by email before driving away.

Question 4

What is the "Fake VIP Wristband Seller" scam in Ibiza?

Accepted Answer

A person near a club entrance sells VIP wristbands or "table reservations" for cash, promising priority access. The wristbands are fake and provide no access; the seller disappears immediately after the transaction. Only purchase VIP packages directly through official club websites or from licensed box offices.
