What Time Do Doors Open? Arrival & Late-Entry Policy

Plan to arrive 20–30 minutes before your showtime. Check-in opens ahead of each show at The Lot Studios (1041 N Formosa Ave, West Hollywood), and doors close when the show begins.

Arrival Timing

• Front Row VIP / Reserved Seating: arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime
• General Admission: arrive 20–30 minutes before showtime

Late Entry

There is no late entry. Once the first look hits the runway, doors close — no exceptions. This protects the show experience for every guest and the designers presenting.

Re-Entry

There is no re-entry once you leave the venue — each show requires its own ticket. Guests with tickets to multiple shows on the same day will be re-admitted for each show with that show's ticket.
