Early bird tickets: how they work

Every show at Sunset Park Comedy Club goes on sale the same way: a limited release of super early bird tickets first, then early bird, then regular admission. The earlier you book, the less you pay. That's the whole system, but people keep asking how it works, so here it is in full.

The three tiers

Super early bird is the cheapest seat in the house. It's a limited release, and it's the tier that goes first.

Early bird opens once super early bird is gone. Also a limited release, and the one most people end up with. If super early bird has sold out, take this rather than waiting.

Regular admission is what's left once both early tiers are gone. Same seat, same show, same comics. You just paid more for waiting.

Prices show on Eventbrite when you pick a show. Whichever tier is still available is the one you'll see.

The cheap tickets genuinely run out

Both early tiers are limited releases and they regularly sell out before showtime, Saturdays especially. Once a tier is gone it does not come back, and the price never drops at the last minute to fill seats.

The practical version: if you already know you're coming, buy now. Waiting never makes it cheaper.

What you're actually getting

This is not a neighborhood open mic with a cover charge. The comics on our lineups are the working New York comedians you'd pay to see at the Manhattan clubs: the same people doing sets across the city every night, with the TV credits and festival spots to show for it. The same team that runs Upper East Side Comedy Club books this room, and it books it the same way.

The difference is the commute. Instead of a train into the city and back, it's the back room of a cocktail bar on 5th Ave. Early bird pricing rewards the people who commit first, and a show that's half sold a week out means the comics walk into a room that's already warm.

How to get the cheapest seat

Three steps, no codes, no sign-up required:

  1. Go to the Shows page. Every upcoming date is listed with its lineup and showtime.
  2. Tap Buy Tickets on the night you want. Checkout opens right there on the page.
  3. Pick the cheapest tier that's still available and check out. Your ticket lands in your email from Eventbrite.

The fine print

All tiers are general admission. Every ticket comes with a one-item minimum per person from L'Wren's food or drink menu, and it doesn't have to be alcohol. Refunds are available through Eventbrite up to seven days before the show. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.

Shows every week in the back room at L'Wren, 4004 5th Ave, Brooklyn. Super early bird tickets are on sale now for every date.
