CATEGORY FAQ

Doors open at 10PM. You bring the rest.

Yes. Every CATEGORY event is 21+. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.

House and techno, from cosmic disco to hard groove. Every lineup is 100% femme, BIPOC, gender expansive, and/or queer-identifying.

Our themes aren't a dress code. They're an invitation. How you interpret them is up to you. There's no right or wrong, there's only you.

Yes. Our resident editorial photographer shoots looks all night. Arrive early: the first to serve is the first snapped.

Each volume's venue is listed on its event page. When a venue is TBA, we announce it on Instagram and to our SMS and email lists first.

If the venue has not been announced yet, we will announce the venue and its address on the day of the event to all ticketholders via the email connected with their ticketing account, via SMS if they have opted in to texts, and via our social accounts.

Only through the official ticket links on this site, which go to our page on Tixr. When two volumes are on sale, each has its own ticket link. See all upcoming events.

All ticket sales are final. If we cancel an event outright with no new date, you're refunded automatically to the card you used. Postponed events honor your ticket on the new date. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.

Yes, through Tixr's official resale tool only, and only at face value. Tickets bought or resold anywhere else may be cancelled without refund.
