DISCLAIMERS

(What we’d like to say)

Commons Sense Stuff

Be old enough. Must be 18+ to attend.

We can’t control resale tickets, so don’t risk buying a fake ticket from anywhere but here.

We play games and give away things, but we can’t do that for everyone.

Don’t smoke.

Don’t bring weapons.

For everyone’s safety, we reserve the right to look into your purse just in case.

For The Fans

Please take and post a lot of photos and videos of your great experience… (Tag @bestdragshows !)

For The Meanies Out There

…unless you’re attending our show to record content for mean reasons. (Basically, if you’re any person or politician trying to get your 15 minutes of fame by creating controversy about drag queens or the LGBTQ+ community, move on. We’re all about love and acceptance and don’t have time for your drama.)

Everyone is welcome at our shows, but we reserve the right to ask anyone to leave who is causing trouble.

Marketing Stuff

We record our shows for our own social medias. While the focus on our videos and photos is on the drag queens and performers, you might be shown too because you’re here. Attending means you’re okay wth that. We also might reach out to you if you took a really cool video that we want to use for marketing purposes. (Look, ma! I’m famous!)

Don’t Be Gross

If you’re sick, stay home. We’ll catch you next time, but we don’t wanna catch what you got.

If you do catch something like COVID-19 from someone who came to our show, you can’t come for us. We’re sorry you got sick, but that’s the risk we all take when we go out in the world these days.

Be Safe

We want all our guests, performers, and staff to stay and be safe. While no one has ever been injured at our shows, things can unfortunately happen. We love you to pieces, but you assume any risk when you come to our shows. (Plus, drag is super expensive. So if you sue us, you won’t get much. xo )

No Refunds, Unless

If you buy a ticket, you’ve bought that ticket. (And, than you!) We do not issue refunds unless we’ve had to cancel or move a show. In that case, we’ll of course give you your money back.

GUEST HEALTH PROMISE

Holder acknowledges and understands that, if infected with COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease (as defined at the conclusion of this paragraph), Holder and/or any Accompanying Parties may infect others that they may subsequently come in contact with, even if they are not experiencing or displaying any symptoms of illness, and that the risk of exposure to others remains at all times. Accordingly, Holder agrees that neither Holder nor any Accompanying Party will attend the Event if within ten (10) days preceding the Event, they have:

(1) tested positive or presumptively positive for COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease or been identified as a potential carrier of COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease; OR

RAIN CHECK POLICY

Retain possession of this RAIN CHECK until the SHOW NUMBERED OR NAMED HEREON has been played to completion. The RAIN CHECK is only good for this particular show, and any rescheduled show or substitute show as provided below, and no part of the purchase price will be refunded by reason of the failure of Holder to use it for such shows. Should the SHOW NUMBERED OR NAMED HEREON not be performed or not progress to or beyond a point of one hour after Holder has been admitted to the Event Area, this RAIN CHECK will be honored at the re-scheduled show which replaces the SHOW NUMBERED OR NAMED HEREON. If unable to attend the re-scheduled show, Holder may exchange this RAIN CHECK for a ticket of the same value (subject to availability) for any show during the current regular season. Such exchanges must occur prior to five days of the rescheduled show. Complimentary tickets have a value of zero dollars and therefore may not be exchanged. Complimentary tickets will be honored at the rescheduled show only. Discounted tickets may be exchanged only for the amount paid to the Company and are subject to any constraints applicable to the original sale. There will be no RAIN CHECK or exchange for a show which is delayed (whether for weather or power delays or otherwise), but which progresses to or beyond a point of one hour.
