Member events are open to eligible signed-in members of the broader community. Formats vary — socials, mixers, and other hosted gatherings in the Greater Los Angeles area depending on the calendar.

Elite events are for approved Elite Members in the high-profile peer circle. Those gatherings are gated so the room stays peer-level after qualification and an active Elite subscription.

Public marketing pages explain the idea; signed-in members use the events area for RSVPs, waitlists, and ticket details. Always read the listing for age, capacity, and conduct rules before you commit.

• Member events: eligible signed-in community members.
• Elite events: approved Elite Members only.
• Overview: Events; RSVPs: /events after sign-in.

If capacity is full and waitlist is enabled, you can join the waitlist instead of a confirmed seat. Approvals and paid tickets follow that event’s rules — some waitlists convert automatically when a seat opens; others need host or system confirmation.

You will be notified if a seat opens. Do not show up as a confirmed guest unless your status says you are in. Exact venue details may stay private until closer to start time for attendee safety.

If you no longer want the seat, leave the waitlist or cancel per the listing so someone else can take it. Paid waitlist or ticket rules are on the event page and in event terms.

• Join waitlist when capacity is full and waitlist is on.
• Watch notifications — venue may unlock closer to start.
• Ticket/waitlist rules: listing + Event terms.

Many events hide precise addresses until you are a confirmed attendee and the start time is closer. That reduces crashers, protects hosts, and keeps random social posts from turning a private gathering into an open party.

When the address unlocks, treat it as attendee-only information. Do not post private venues on Instagram, TikTok, group chats outside the guest list, or public forums.

Breaking venue privacy or bringing uninvited guests can get you removed from the event and restricted from future RSVPs under event conduct rules.

• Address often unlocks for confirmed attendees closer to start.
• Do not republish private venues on social media.
• Conduct rules: Event terms.

Paid tickets follow each event’s listing plus the Refund policy and Event terms. Some events are non-refundable after purchase; others allow cancellation until a cutoff. Always read the listing before you pay.

If Friend in LA cancels an event, we provide the remedy stated for that cancellation — commonly a refund or credit as described for that case. Host or venue changes may have different remedies on the listing.

For billing questions, contact support with your ticket reference, event name, and approximate purchase time. Do not dispute a charge without checking the listing and writing support first when possible.

• Per-event listing rules matter most.
• Platform cancellations follow the stated remedy.
• Help: support with ticket reference; policies: Refunds · Events.

Follow venue rules, host instructions, and the Community Guidelines. Drink responsibly, respect boundaries, and do not pressure anyone for contact info or private after-parties they did not ask for.

Tell a host immediately if another attendee makes you uncomfortable. Hosts and staff can intervene faster on-site than a ticket filed the next day. You can also leave — you do not owe anyone a full evening.

For general meetup advice before and after events, read Safety. Emergencies are always 911 first; Friend in LA support cannot dispatch police or medical help.

• Respect hosts, venue staff, and other attendees.
• Uncomfortable situation: tell a host, leave if needed, then report if appropriate.
• Tips: Safety; emergencies: call 911.
