And yes, it’s a non-negotiable deal (although medical exemptions are made for those who rely on their phones for their treatment). Our eyes open a bit wider and our senses are slightly more heightened when we lose the technology crutch we’ve become accustomed to. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS & IS IT MANDATORY? After creating these phone-free experiences for the last couple of tours, we’re convinced this makes for a better show for everyone involved. WHAT ABOUT CASHLESS BARS OR MERCH SELLERS? We highly recommend you bring a physical credit card just in case you can’t access your phone at the bar or merch area. See any usher or Yondr staff if you need help finding it. WHAT IF I HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND NEED TO ACCESS MY PHONE? You can unlock your phone from the pouch at any time by going to the clearly-marked Phone Use Areas located in the lobby or the concourse. If the option is available, we highly encourage you to print your tickets at home or bring the physical ticket with you. HOW DOES IT WORK? Upon arrival at the venue, Yondr (the phone-pouching company we’ve hired to do this) will have staff available to help you put your phone in a lockable pouch which you keep throughout the night.
No phones allowed in the performance space. WHAT IS A “PHONE-FREE SHOW”? Just as it sounds.
