FAQs

What does the VIP ticket get me?

It grants you access to the show as well as early access to the venue (at 5:00 PM) before doors open. Bug Hunter and The Narcissist Cookbook will both play 2 extra songs and do a joint Q&A with the VIP audience. We'll then be able to take pictures with everyone at VIP and have early access to merch (so you don't have to wait in line after the show).

It'll also allow you your choice of position in the room before we are joined by all our other guests for the larger show!

Which artist "opens" and which artist "headlines"?

It is a co-headlining tour. We can't verify the order of the artists. We sometimes don't decide who is going first until 20 minutes before the show starts. We apologize if this messes with your planning, but committing to an order ahead of time would drastically mess with ours!

Will I get to meet the artists?

We sell merch ourselves after the show, so if you're patient enough to wait in line for us, we try to stay and meet everyone who wants to meet us! We can't take photos after the show, unfortunately. The line would just take too long. If you're hoping for a group photo, we recommend getting a VIP ticket as we have time before the show with the smaller group of fans!

What are the setlists for this tour?

We mix it up every night! Especially if back-to-back cities are reasonably close to each other. If you're interested in following us around and coming to multiple shows, we do not put on the same show every night, so we encourage people to show-hop with us!

I have an accessibility need. Can you help me?

We have done our utmost to ensure most of our shows are accessible to everyone who wants to attend. This is the information we have from the venue regarding their accessibility:

Wheelchair Accessible

If you are unsure or need assistance, please reach out to the venue via their website to get more information.

Is the show All-Ages?

We have tried our best to find all-ages venues for this tour. This is the age policy for this show:

All Ages

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the venue! If they tell you something different than what we have above, please reach out to us (it's probably a miscommunication and we'll get it cleared up!)

Friendly reminder that even if the show is all-ages, we don't guarantee the content will be suitable for children. Make sure to properly research both artists to be sure you're comfortable with the content.
