Frequently Asked Questions
That’s up to you! We offer three price tiers of membership, which unlock increasing benefits, including everything from unlimited free entry, half-off tickets for your friends to skip-the-line entry, free coat check, and member-exclusive channels on Discord and much more. Make sure to browse the tiers and benefits to choose the plan that is right for you.
Once you become a member, you’ll receive a digital membership card, which can be added to your Google or Apple Wallet and will serve as your key to the venue - simply show up with your digital card and a matching photo ID, and our staff will help you redeem all of your benefits on-site.
All members with ticketing discount perks will be required to reserve tickets in advance for the events they wish to attend - your reservation secures your discount and your guaranteed entry.
To reserve, simply log into your account on the Elsewhere website, navigate to the individual event page you’re interested in attending, and you’ll see a button for making a reservation. We highly recommend reserving tickets as far in advance as your tier allows, since all reservations are first-come first-serve.
Reserving your ticket in advance on our website guarantees entry, and all members should expect to pay for their discounted tickets at the door upon entry into Elsewhere night of. Cash, card, and Apple Pay are all accepted.
Once you become a member, you’ll receive a digital membership card, which can be added to your Google or Apple Wallet and serves as your key to the venue - simply show up with your digital card, our cashiers will scan to verify your membership, and you will be given your discount or free entry on the spot!
Please Note your membership must be active on the day of the event to claim your ticket(s).
The vast majority of Elsewhere events will be eligible for ticket discounts, but members should expect the occasional exception. Our highest demand events will be first-come first-serve for member reservations, and may occasionally fill up. In other cases, events at Elsewhere organized by outside promoters may not be eligible for discount, if the event organizer chooses not to participate in the membership program. We believe exceptions will be rare.
We always price the 50% discount based on the cheapest tier offered — your membership locks in permanent early bird pricing in addition to receiving the half-off discount.
Ticket reservations for members become available either during the pre-sale period, if applicable, or at the time when tickets go on general sale to the public. This ensures that members always have the earliest opportunity to secure their tickets.
Patron Saint members can reserve their tickets as far in advance as they’d like. Sonic Explorer members can reserve their tickets within 7 days of the event.
For all tiers, your membership must be active on the day of the show in order to receive the discounted member price.
For each visit, while verifying your membership at venue check-in with our cashiers, members will receive a comp ticket redeemable at coat check for the free check of all members' items. Please remember to tip your coat check attendant!
Please note that coat check benefits will only be redeemable when our coat check service is open and operating - not 100% of our events offer coat check. Coat check is most reliably offered in Fall through Spring season, and for our biggest events.
Simply show your digital membership card to our front-of-house security or greeter employees stationed at either of the entrances to the venue, who will help process your skip-the-line entry.
In order to avoid logistical and crowd control issues, members are eligible to skip-the-line with two additional guests maximum.
Once you’ve joined the membership program, simply log into your Elsewhere account dashboard and press ‘Connect to Discord’ to join our server, unlock the exclusive channels, and begin interacting with the community.
If you’re unfamiliar with Discord, it’s a really great real-time chat app for community-building. Imagine joining a group chat, but instead of a few of your friends, it’s filled with hundreds (or thousands) of like-minded people organized around a topic like emerging culture. We believe this will be the inner core of our community in the future.
All membership tiers are billed on a monthly basis, however we kindly require our members for a commitment of one season (3 months). Members are able to cancel at any time, which would discontinue their membership and perks at the end of their current commitment period. If you would like to cancel your membership, simply log into your Elsewhere account, go to the "Manage Subscriptions" section, and click on the "Cancel Plan" button.
By default, your membership is set to auto-renew each season (every 3 months). To avoid being billed for the following cycle, please ensure that you cancel your membership before the next pay period begins. If you forget to cancel before the next billing cycle, you will be billed for that cycle, and the cancellation will take effect at the end of your current membership period.
Unfortunately, canceling your membership releases all your upcoming reservations, as membership passes must be active on the event day to redeem tickets.
