Shelter: no phones on the floor

Shelter runs a no-phone policy on its dancefloors, everyone can be searched at the door, and doors close at 04:00 with no entry after on regular nights. A limited number of door tickets always exists, so earlier is better odds.

Bring a €2 coin

Pack a €2 coin for the coin lockers. The bar is card only, so you will not get coins inside.

Before midnight means before midnight

If your ticket says entry before midnight, be through the door by 00:00. Arrive later and you pay the difference at the door.

Know who is playing

Know the lineup and come in a small group. The door can turn away big groups and guests who cannot say who they came for.
