FAQs
What is the difference between the Ticket Tiers
ALL TICKETS, REGARDLESS OF TIER LEVEL, ARE GENERAL ADMISSION AND STANDING ROOM ONLY. NO SEATING IS INCLUDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE A TICKET. For every event, there’s a certain amount of tickets available based on occupancy for the venue. All tickets available are then broken into different tiers. Tier 1 is always the least expensive ticket available for the show. This is done to incentivize guests to purchase their tickets early for the event. Most of our events sell out, so the earlier you purchase the tickets, the less the tickets will cost and the more money you’ll save. |
How much is admission into HQ2 Nightclub?
The price of admission is determined by the day’s talent.
What is the Guest List?
A guest list is an exclusive invite only offer for reduced admission during certain time restrictions. Entry is not guaranteed – it is subject to capacity. This is featured on select events only. We strongly encourage purchasing tickets in advance to guarantee the most seamless entry.
How do I sign up for the Guest List?
HQ2 Nightclub & Beachclub offers a Guest List on select days. For the latest, call HQ2 Concierge Center at 609-783-8001 daily 9AM to 7PM.

Limited pre-sale tickets are available on the ticket website, through your VIP host, or by calling the Concierge Center between the hours of 9AM and 7PM EST at 609-783-8001. Prices frequently increase closer to the event date.
What are the benefits of pre-purchasing tickets?
Eliminate stress before the event is sold out! Once purchased, you’ll receive the best price and guaranteed entry before 1PM through a dedicated line.
Do I need to print out my ticket?
The choice is yours! We prefer a printed ticket but for your convenience we will have a full manifest with all ticket purchaser’s name at the door. You can also have the email that was sent to your email at time of purchase that will have a QR code or Bar Code we can scan at the door. The name on the ticket has to match the ID in order to be honored. Security personnel is there to help if you need clarification.
Does purchasing tickets in advance allow me to skip the line?
Ticket holders are of high priority. We’ll ensure a quicker entry than waiting to pay your cover at the door the day of the event. You will be in line with only other ticket holders, so entry does move quickly. To expedite the process, please ensure everyone in your party is over the age of 21 with a valid government issued ID, is in proper dress code, and does not have any prohibited items.
Where will I be waiting while I’m in line?
The line for HQ2 Nightclub is located on the Mezzanine Level, around the corner from Balcony Bar. Please use the staircase by The Gallery to access the Mezzanine Level.
