Comp Tickets
We are able to print either free or discount comp tickets for local shows. Please call our office (773-489-3160) or send an email to Phil or Nate (depending on who booked your show) in advance to pick up comp tickets for your band. If you run out of comp tickets (we provide you with 200 to start) you can call/email to get more or print up your own flyers to distribute; we accept them just like we would regular comp tickets.

Posters/Flyers
DO NOT POST ANY POSTERS ON CITY PROPERTY.

We encourage bands to make posters for their shows and drop them off at the Double Door no later than a week prior to their show. If you can't drop off a poster design, you can email one to dan@doubledoor.com and we'll get them up in the club and in the windows.
