How do I unlock the rehearsal room door?

For self service sessions we’ll send you door codes by email. You’ll receive one code for the front door and another for your rehearsal room. Codes are usually a * character followed by 6 numbers. Just enter the code in to the keypad on the door making sure you start with the * button. The lock will beep twice then you can turn the handle and enter.

There is a few minutes grace period before and after your session that your code will still work. You can always leave the room without having to enter a code.

For attended sessions we’ll unlock the doors for you so you can just turn the handle and come in!

Can I arrive early/stay late to set up and pack down gear?
