Eight floors, one night plan.

This Shanghai Fuxing INS all-access pass is built for people who want to bounce room to room without paying a separate cover again and again. I like that one ticket covers entry and included drinks across the INS venue floors, plus it is the kind of place where young locals actually gather, not just tourists taking photos. The big drawback is the ticket itself is online-only and tied to specific check-in rules, so you’ll want to plan ahead and communicate early if you need help.

I also like the practical value of moving through multiple named clubs in one go. You’re essentially buying yourself a structured night of stops across B1 to 6F, with unlimited drinks at FRiENDS (5F) on top of a drink at each venue. Just keep in mind the final price can change by weekday and special line-ups, and the service option costs more than buying directly yourself.

Key takeaways before you go

• All-access entry across many INS floors from B1 to 6F in one night session
• Drink included at each club, plus unlimited at FRiENDS (5F)
• Official ticketing depends on WeChat or the official app, so you need to be ready for online steps
• Small group limit of 10 keeps things simple if you use the ticket-buying help
• Weekday pricing can be cheaper (Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday vs Friday, Saturday)
• A known help route if you lack a Chinese phone number or can’t complete payment

INS in Shanghai: what makes this nightlife zone different

Fuxing INS is famous for one main reason: it is the largest nightlife area in Shanghai, and one of the biggest in China. What that means for you is simple. Instead of hunting down one good club and hoping the vibe matches, INS gives you options under one roof and on multiple levels.

The second reason it works is crowd flow. This is a popular gathering spot for young locals in China, so you get that normal-life energy you’re looking for when you want to feel like you’re in Shanghai, not performing Shanghai. And yes, the pass includes the kind of permission that makes it easier to capture your best moment, whether that’s a quick group shot or a phone-camera freeze-frame before the night gets loud.

The catch is that this is not a casual walk-in event with a ticket booth. It is ticketed entry, purchased online, tied to check-in procedures. If you are comfortable figuring out WeChat or the official app, you’ll probably find it easy. If you aren’t, the service option is designed to help you not get stuck.

Price reality: the $1 listing vs the real official rates

You may see something like a $1 price on a booking platform, and that is mostly a platform display issue. The important part is what the official ticket costs are on the night you plan to go.

Here are the official rates you should expect:

• Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday nights: ¥168 + 8% booking service (shown as 180 rmb)
• Friday and Saturday nights: ¥288 + 8% booking service (shown as 310 rmb)

So when does this pass feel like a great deal? When you compare it to what you’d normally pay if you tried to enter multiple clubs on your own. Even if the drinks are not the only reason you’re there, the drink plan is real value: you get a drink at each included venue, and FRiENDS (5F) has unlimited drinks under this ticket.

If you use the ticket-buying help offered through the service, remember the trade-off: you are paying a service fee and you cannot use coupons with that help. It can still be worth it when you’re blocked by practical issues like not having a Chinese phone number or not being able to finish payment with your bank card.

One more cost thing to watch: some nights can include an extra charge if a well-known line-up is performing. Also, you might see cheaper early-session options online. Those have very strict entry times, and the service doesn’t handle those, because missing the time means missing check-in.

How the 7-nightclub pass works across the INS floors

This pass is designed for one main goal: you get entry to multiple INS clubs as part of the same ticketed night. The experience is sold as access to 7 nightclubs, but your included access list spans several named rooms on different floors, including:

• Freshman (B1-1F)
• HUSH (2F)
• RADi (3F)
• Culture Club (4F)
• DIRTY HOUSE (4F)
• FRiENDS (5F)
• LA FIN (6F)
• ANOTHER SIDE (6F)

Because one product description says 7 clubs and the access list shows 8 names, treat the safest approach as this: your ticket instructions and the on-site app or entry system will tell you exactly which rooms you can access that night, and you should plan to rotate through the included venues you’re allowed to enter.

What does that mean for your night planning? It means you don’t have to pick one club early and then commit all night. You can move with the music or your mood, and you can set your own pace. Just factor in real-life movement: stairs and crowding will slow you down sometimes, especially when you’re hopping between floors.

Duration-wise, the ticket experience is set as a 7-hour session. That’s a good chunk of time for multiple stops, but it also means you’ll want to show up ready to use the time well, not wandering around the neighborhood trying to find the entrance at the last second.

Freshman to Another Side: your room-by-room rotation

INS is not one stage. It’s multiple rooms with different names and floors, so your night becomes a simple circuit. Here’s how to think about each stop and what to watch for.

Freshman (B1-1F)

This is one of the lower-level stops, and the advantage is practical: if you want your night to start strong without climbing too early, B1-1F is where you’ll likely begin your rotation. The ticket includes entry here, and you also get a drink included at each club, so this is a good first stop to settle your rhythm.

Possible drawback: lower levels can feel more enclosed depending on the room flow. If you need breaks, plan to step out and reset before your next move.

HUSH (2F)

HUSH sits on 2F. The key idea here is elevation within the same venue. You’re not leaving INS, but you are changing rooms, crowds, and sound levels.

Tip: keep your phone battery in mind and protect it from the night’s chaos. You’ll want it for photos, maps, and checking where you’re allowed to go next.

RADi (3F)

RADi is on 3F, which makes it a natural mid-night stop once you’ve worked through the lower floors. By the time you reach here, you’ve usually learned whether you like the energy of the room type you started with.

Possible drawback: mid-level rooms can become crowded in waves. If you’re the type who hates squeeze-and-stand, give yourself a little time to enter, get your bearings, then commit.

Culture Club (4F)

4F holds Culture Club. This is one of your higher-floor options without going all the way to 6F yet, which makes it a sensible step if you want variety but still want an easy path to the rest of the building.

What’s “special” about this stop is the logic: it’s another named venue with included entry and included drink, so it works as a checkpoint in your night. You can pace yourself here instead of burning through every room too fast.

DIRTY HOUSE (4F)

Also on 4F, DIRTY HOUSE is right there with Culture Club, just a different room. Having two options on the same floor is convenient: you can switch without changing floors, which matters when you’re trying to avoid losing time to stairs.

Possible drawback: with multiple rooms on one floor, you may find it harder to pick what you want in the moment. A good move is to enter briefly, scan the vibe, then decide if you stay or bounce.

FRiENDS (5F): the unlimited-drink payoff

If you want the big ticket advantage, this is the stop that justifies the whole pass. FRiENDS is on 5F, and it includes unlimited drink under the ticket.

This is where your night can turn from good to great because unlimited changes your behavior. You’re less likely to do the awkward math of how much to spend and when to stop. You can drink at a normal social pace and keep moving through the rest of the clubs after.

Practical consideration: unlimited doesn’t mean limitless energy. If you’re hopping floors after 5F, slow down near the end and save some hydration for the final portion of the night.

LA FIN (6F)

LA FIN is on 6F, the highest floor in the included list. Higher levels can be a nice change of perspective inside the same building, and it’s a useful stop late in your rotation when you want a finale feeling.

Possible drawback: if you arrive too late, you may feel rushed. Try to keep your pacing so you still enjoy the room, not just rush through it for the included drink.

ANOTHER SIDE (6F)

Another 6F stop, ANOTHER SIDE is your second option at the top floor. Having two rooms at the same level gives you flexibility if one room feels too crowded at the moment.

Tip: treat this as your final choice checkpoint. If you’ve loved the vibe all night, you’ll probably want to land here and stay. If not, you still have enough time on the 7-hour window to switch your last stop.

Drink strategy: how to use the included drinks without losing the night

The ticket includes a drink at each club and offers unlimited at FRiENDS (5F). That design matters because it removes a common clubbing stress: spending extra money just to keep the night going.

Here’s a strategy that works well:

• Start early with your included drink where you land first, so you feel settled before you bounce.
• Use the unlimited stop (FRiENDS) as your main drink moment, not as a frantic binge.
• After FRiENDS, switch back to a lighter pace so you can enjoy the last rooms instead of getting stuck in the bathroom line spiral.

Also, since you’re moving across floors, think about timing. If you drink heavily and then start climbing between rooms, you’ll feel the fatigue faster than you expect. The pass gives you options, but your body still sets limits.

Ticketing help that actually solves a problem

This is a ticket purchasing service, not a guided tour in the classic sense. There’s no guide service included, and there’s no pick-up or drop-off. The value is in removing friction for people who can’t comfortably buy the INS ticket themselves.

If you don’t have a Chinese phone number, or you can’t finish payment with your bank card, or you just don’t want to wrestle with the WeChat and app steps, the service option is made for you. Tickets must be purchased online using WeChat or their official APP, and that’s the part many visitors get stuck on.

A practical note: it is not an automatic system. After you place an order, the provider contacts you via email in about 12 hours. If you need help, contact early, because the ticket purchase isn’t just click-and-done.

Also, keep your expectations clear: the service provider won’t buy the ticket and then wait for you to pay them later in person. You place the order, pay as required, and then they book the ticket. Once purchased, tickets can’t be refunded and are valid only for the night you use.

From the reviews, the strongest praise is reliability. People noted that the ticket process worked smoothly and that the help felt trustworthy even at first, with one named contact: Tony.

Who should book and who should skip this INS pass

This one fits best if you want:

• Multiple club stops without extra entry fees each time
• A drink-included night, with a major unlimited-drink upside at FRiENDS
• A low-stress path when you struggle with Chinese app/payment steps

It is not suitable for children under 18, and it is not suitable for people over 55.

It also tends to suit you better if you are okay with self-guided navigation inside the venue. There is no guide escort, and there’s no transportation included. If you prefer someone to walk you through, you might want a different type of nightlife service.

If you are comfortable buying INS tickets on your own through WeChat or the official app, you might save money by doing it yourself. But if you’re blocked by phones or payments, paying for the service can be worth it simply because it gets you inside.

Should you book this INS all-access ticket service?

If you want one structured night that can turn into multiple club stops, this is a strong value play—especially because drinks are included at each venue and FRiENDS (5F) includes unlimited. The variety of floors also keeps it interesting if the first room isn’t the vibe you hoped for.

Book with the service if buying the ticket yourself feels messy, because the whole point is removing the WeChat/app and payment friction. If you can buy the ticket directly yourself and you’re comfortable doing it, you may find it cheaper to go that route instead.

My rule of thumb: if you are confident you can handle WeChat and check-in rules, do it yourself. If you’re not, this service is built for exactly that moment—so you get inside and spend your energy on the music and the photos, not on troubleshooting payment apps at midnight.
