Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What's this about membership?
A. If you are under 21, you don't have to worry about memberships at all. Just show your valid ID that says you're over 18 at the door. For everyone else, Utah law states that anyone over 21 has to become a member or be sponsored by a member whom you already know and will be there with you. You can take care of all this at the door.

There is distinction between membership charge (required by law) and cover charge for the club. If you're going to the club with a member who will sponsor you, you'll just pay the cover charge for the night. This rate table is based on the usual club nights. Special events may be priced differently.

membership charge	membership lasts for	cover charge on night of purchase	cover charge after night of purchase	number of friends you can sponsor
$5	five months	none	$3 before 10pm, $5 after	unlimited
$40	one year	none	none	unlimited

Q. What's considered a valid ID?
A. You must have a state-issued driver's license or ID card, military ID, or a passport that is not expired. Anything that is expired, does not have your birth date, or was not given to you by a government agency, doesn't count as valid ID. You have to be over 18 and have a valid ID with you to get in, no exceptions.

Q. If I have tickets to a concert, do I have to buy a membership?

Q. I don't look freaky/I am freaky; will I be welcome?
