Cobra Lounge abides all municipal guidelines set forth by the city of Chicago for public health initiatives to deter the spread of Covid-19. Cobra Lounge does not require staff, fans, and performers to provide proof of vaccination or negative covid test for entry. We do encourage vaccinations and mask wearing for everyone, but are by no means required.
How do I purchase tickets to shows at Cobra Lounge?
- Advance tickets can be purchased through our our website here www.cobralounge.com/events as well as on our official ticketing partner, Dice.fm. Any remaining tickets come day of show will be available for purchase at the door with cash (ATM on site).
What is your refund policy?:
All Sales are final. In the event a show is canceled or postponed, fans will be notified of their refund window.
I can’t go to the show anymore or my friend(s) bailed on me! What do I do?:
- You may transfer any number of tickets in your order to another fan via secure transfer in your Dice.fm account, the only thing you need is a phone number and for the person you are transfering to to have a valid Dice.fm account. In the event the show is sold out, you may simply return your ticket(s) to the waitlist so another fan may purchase them at face value, in which case you will be granted the cost of the ticket back to your method of purchase.
I bought a ticket – what do I do come day of show?:
- Presenting your ticket for entry is seamlessly easy and simple, the days of printing paper tickets on your parent’s shitty old HP printer are over! Simply download the official Dice.fm app before arriving at the show and log into your account. Open the show in the app, tap “Activate QR Codes”, and present your ticket to our staff. You may only activate your QR Codes within 2 hours of doors opening, so don’t worry if you don’t see it right away. Having phone trouble? No worries – we carry a digital will call list for all patrons and are happy to look you up manually, but trust us – scanning the code on your phone is *much* faster/simpler/easier.
I found tickets to one of your shows by someone other than Cobra Lounge or Dice.fm. What gives?:
- They’re probably brutally overpriced and almost certainly counterfeit/fake. Dice.fm tickets are powered by a rotating barcode that is not able to be duplicated off-platform, even by screenshotting with your phone. *The only tickets* valid at Cobra Lounge are sold via Dice.fm, everything else is bunk. Buyer beware.
I have a ticketing issue that I need help with:
- Dice.fm has excellent customer support, you can reach them here
Do you offer group sales/discounts?:
- We are happy to accommodate large group sales. Please email us at booking@cobralounge.com for more information.
Does Cobra Lounge have seats?:
- Unless otherwise noted, Cobra Lounge is General Admission Standing Room Only for all shows. We have a variety of seating options in our bar, resturant, taproom, and patio area for you to enjoy just outside of the venue.
I have a mobility impairment and unable to stand for long periods of time. Can you help?:
- Absolutely – our shows are for everyone and Cobra Lounge is fully ADA compliant. Our facility is completely wheelchair accessible and we are more than happy to make accommodations for you so you can enjoy the show with us. You are encouraged to reach us in advance of your show and let us know your needs, to which we can record and prepare for your arrival. Otherwise you are more than welcome to simply let our staff know upon arrival and we’ll get you sorted out.

How old do I have to be to attend shows at Cobra Lounge?:
- Music is for everyone – We proudly do as many shows as we can as All Ages. In the event that they are not, they are almost always 17+. For any performances where someone does not meet the age restriction, they are still more than welcome to attend the show so long as they are accompanied/chaperoned by a parent or legal guardian.
My child wants to attend a show at Cobra Lounge – Should I let them?:
- Only if you want to be a COOL PARENT. Our staff is full of live music fans who went to shows growing up the same as your kids are doing now. Some of them are younger brothers, older sisters, and even parents themselves, and as a company that has strong family values, we look out for our fans in the same way. You are highly encouraged to attend a show with your child with us and see how we operate so you can get a first-hand experience of the care and consideration we give to fans who come out to enjoy shows with us. We’re 100% confident you’ll leave knowing this is a safe place for your kids to be.
Do I need ID to enter the venue for a show even if it is All Ages?:
- Valid, state issued photo ID’s are required if you plan on drinking alcohol as is compliance with Illinois state laws. This policy is both for the young, and the young-at-heart.

Violation of this poilcy is subject to immediate ejection from the premises.

Yup, right at the entrance. Cash is king, baby!
