I would say the night-club reentry stamp is not in category 2, but
in category 3 (or perhaps 4).  The night-club owner wants to charge
the cover charge to each person who enters.  He does not want
swapping of night-club reentry stamps between people on the street.

If the probable cost of delegating a night-club reentry stamp is
greater than or equal to the cover charge, there probably won't be
much delegation.
