FAQs
BOOKING YOUR BAND
How can my band/artist play The Pyramid Scheme?
Please see our booking page.
PARKING
Where do I park my vehicle?
First & foremost: PLEASE CARPOOL. The Pyramid Scheme’s surrounding area has street parking + the parking ramp at Weston and Commerce can be used. We also have several bike racks in front of the building.
COVER CHARGE
Do I have to pay a cover to get into the Front Bar?
No, never. Only when there is a show/event in the venue will you be charged a cover at the venue door.
VENUE SEATING
Do you have seating in the venue?
The Pyramid Scheme is a general admission, standing room only venue with a few first-come, first-serve seats. If you prefer to sit, try to arrive when the doors open to snag one.
I can not stand for long and/or have a special need. Can I reserve seats/spot?
Specialty seating is available upon request while they last via jeremy (at) pyramidschemebar.com. Please contact us at least 24 hours in advance to reserve seats.
Are any of your shows fully seated?
Most comedy shows are seated, general admission (no seating assignments).
Is your building/venue wheelchair accessible?
YES. Accessible restrooms are available as well. There are no stairs to the building’s entrance, which is at ground level. Upon entering the music venue, please head to your right – all the way to the end. Here you will find a ramp leading up to a raised level. If you need room made, drinks brought to you, etc. – ask any staff member for assistance.
I bought LaughFest tickets and have a question..
Please contact LaughFest.
PHOTO/AUDIO
Can I bring a camera?
It depends on the band but usually you can bring a small camera. Please do not shoot with a flash- it blinds the musicians and, besides, your pictures will look better for it.
Can I bring a professional-grade SLR camera to shoot for my blog/ mag/ zine or to put really great pics up on my Facebook page?
No, not without permission from the band’s mgmt and agents. Please contact jeremy@pyramidschemebar.com at least one week before the show to arrange for this.
Can I make an audio recording of my favorite band to make a money off of or to just share with friends in my dad’s basement?
No.

How old do you have to be to enjoy The Pyramid Scheme?
Depends. The front bar is strictly 21+, please see individual show information for other age restrictions.
What time will the show start and what time will it end?
That depends on the start time and the number of acts on the bill. Usually the first act goes on around 60 minutes after doors open.
