Practicals

Do I have to make reservations for an event?

From now on, as a member, you absolutely need to make a reservation for an event you want to attend! 

Do I need WIFI at the door of an event or mobile data to use my membership?

No. If you don’t have access to mobile data on your phone and the venue doesn’t provide free WIFI you can show your ID at the entrance. Venues will receive a list from us with the names of our members who made a reservation. An ID which states your name and photo grants you access too. Attention: You’ll have to make a reservation for the event on your desktop through our website before you appear on this list! No reservation = no free access!

How can I submit my work or any other suggestions?

Whether it is a photo, text, a new song, a podcast, an event, a new band we need to check, or an exhibition we need to promote,... - this time you tell us what to feature! Submissions can come from your own hand or can also be a suggestion for us to check the work of someone else. It is your way to promote stuff to fellow members and possible fans! Submit anything you think we need to highlight! Submissions are only possible for members of Different Class and can be done through their accounts online.

How do I get access to events?

Our agenda is updated daily to provide you with an assortment of parties, expos, concerts, and other events. Did a show catch your eye? As a member, you can attend any Different Class events for free in just a few steps: 

  • Log in to your DC account
  • Select the event you would like to attend in the agenda
  • Press the reservation button on the event page. Set! You’ll be on the list for free admission!
  • When you arrive at the venue, you can show your ID or your active profile with a picture of yourself. Your name will be tossed off the reservation list.
How does the waiting list for an event work?

We notify our members on the waiting list as soon as new spots free up so you can make a reservation. In this case it'll be first come, first serve, so don't snooze.

What happens when an event is sold out?

98% of our shows don't sell out. However, certain events do sell out more quickly than expected. In these cases, the policy is first come, first served, and members do not receive priority.

What happens when the reservation list is closed?

You can make a reservation until the reservation option is closed. After that, you have the option to subscribe to the waiting list for this event. Keep an eye on your mailbox closer to the event, we will inform the people on the waiting list when spots are available again as some people don’t go after all and free up their spots last minute.

What is the difference between favouriting an event and making a reservation?

You can favourite the events in our agenda so we can send you suggestions and info about that specific event, but that doesn’t automatically mean you have access! To reserve your spot, you need to make a reservation by clicking the reservation button.

Why is it important to cancel your reservation if you are not planning to go to the event?

Don't forget to cancel your reservation if you can't make it in the end, you could be freeing up a spot for another member! Maybe next time you'd be the lucky one to get a last-minute spot. We will send you a reminder 1 day before the event.
