Or, maybe the best is what is done in the US: no privilege whatsoever (aside from US vs Visitors) and a very efficient setup and flow management, to achieve max throughput. For the benefit of all. Well, I guess you could also buy your way as VIP, but probably more expensive than what you are normally willing to spend.
