The Baha Beach Club in Barcelona has opened up a fast-track method for free entry.  Unfortunately, it’s not for the squeamish.

A microchip the size of a grain of rice is injected beneath the skin.  You are issued a 10-digit PIN, which ties you to your bank.  $160 gets you a chip, plus $126 in credit.  That means you can enter like a star for a mere $34.

Such a chip is only available at the Baha Beach Club currently, but there is interest in Europe.  The UK Institute For Grocery Distribution’s survey claims that one in 10 teenagers and 1 in 20 adults would be interested - however I’m certainly not one of them.
