Then we nearly got trampled by Russian fans swarming on to a stadium shuttle bus-a frightening feeling.

Well, almost no request: the company ran into trouble last year when an employee in France reportedly told a journalist posing as a client that he could procure prostitutes and cocaine. For the most part, though, Quintessentially's clients-or members, as the company calls them-simply want to know where to go, and how to get past the velvet rope when they get there.
