FAQs

  • Yes, at Joyface we almost always allow door access pending capacity.

    That being said, entry is not guaranteed. Joyface only fits ~100 people and we don’t want to overcrowd it for ticketed guests.

    Door priority will be given to friends of ticket holders.

    If you have a large group, we recommend you wait and just tickets for a future event.

    We recommend coming at the very beginning at 6pm OR later around 7:30pm once ticket holders have arrived.

  • Yes. There is one reserve-able space at Joyface that holds 10-20 people.

    To reserve the space, you must buy the "Table Reservation" tickets for your group on Eventbrite. It also requires an $100 per person bar minimum.
