Premium Reserved — Front-section seat at one of our Premium tables, plus skip-the-line entry, a complimentary drink, PMP tote bag, and early access to next showcase tickets. Reserved for Two — Two seats together in the GA section. Perfect for date night or rolling deep with your person. Premium Reserved for Two — Two seats together in the front section, with full Premium tier benefits for both. Premium Table for 8 — Reserve a full front-section table for your group. Birthdays, team outings, agency groups, celebrations — bring your people. Standing Room — Standing access only. Best for fans who want to be in the room near the bar and the back room energy. Tickets sell in three phases: Early Bird first, then everything else live, then final push as we approach showtime. Lock your seat early.

Late Arrival Policy Guests arriving more than 30 minutes after showtime risk forfeiting their reserved seat. Seats may be released to standing or walk-up guests at our discretion.

Ticket Policy All ticket sales are final. Tickets are non-refundable, but may be transferred to a future poetry me, please event based on availability. By purchasing a ticket, you agree to this policy. Chargebacks or payment disputes will result in forfeiture of ticket privileges for future events.
