How First Access Booking Works
Before we release new First Hand dates to the public, we email current gift card holders a private First Access form.
- Look out for the email before each date release
- Select your preferred dates using the private form
- We confirm your seat and send booking details before remaining spots open to the public
Before we release new First Hand dates publicly, gift card holders receive a private link to select preferred sessions. We confirm seats with gift card holders first, then release remaining spots to the public.
