NOTICE: Change in age policy at U Hall
U Street Music Hall Presents
If you've been to U Street Music Hall over the past few Saturdays you've surely noticed that there's been a change in the crowd - more bad behavior and less respect for other patrons. In an effort to curb this, as of Friday, February 18th we'll be admitting patrons 18-20 years of age by advance ticket only on the weekends (ticketfly.com). If you're over 18 but under 21 and you come to U Hall to hear great music then we still want you to be able to see your favorite DJs and bands, but what we don't want is to be the hot underage party spot just because our doors are open.
 
Our weekdays will remain 18+ at the door, this change only applies to Friday and Saturday nights. And if you ever see anyone of any age at U Hall acting like an asshole, feel free to mention it to our staff and we'll take care of it. Without a great crowd it's not a great club.
 
See you on the dancefloor,
U Hall crew

Thank you for finally addressing this. I'd have absolutely no problem with the place being 21+ (or even 25+, ha) but this seems like a good compromise.

Out of curiosity, how late will online ticket sales run on the day of the event?
Jonathan Rose
This is a really, really smart move. Way to think outside the box, guys. I'm impressed.

Online ticket sales typically cut off a couple hours before doors open.
Darron Reynolds
Right on!

I've seen some 18 to 20 year olds there that 'get it', but I am sure they are the type that would be cognizant and respectful of who is booked while sober. What this eliminates are those of that age that just go spur of the moment on the weekend...and likely don't appreciate the talent as much. Nice job.
Justin Belcher
Great idea and completely fair! Would hate to see the 18-21 crowd completely excluded from enjoying DC's best dance club/venue :)
Jonathan Rose
now if we could only figure out how to handle those 21+ douches who are 10X worse bc they're actually drinking alcohol.
Everardo Staff
Nice. The last time I was there I felt older than everyone...

Brilliant solution to an age old problem...literally ;). Well done guys.
Brian Heuer
Very nice move. Keep those youngsters that have no concept of how to act in public in check. 21+ D bags your next lol
Brian Bailey
Cheers.
Eron Ackerman
Smart move, and sensitive to the under-agers who really are committed to good music and good vibes.
Derek Lingel

Kat Lynch
This is why u hall rocks! Thank you!
Dan Taylor
Good call, I'm not into getting into a ruckus with 18 yr old nuckle heads!
Carriee Reegan
Fabulous! Get rid of the kiddies who haven't come to the realization that music itself is a drug...leave your stuffed animal backpacks at home, refrain from passing out on the stage, and remember, you aren't better than any of the people who work at U Hall! Respect! I love you U Hall!
Jordan Sirkit-Board
Yeah to stereotypes and public filters
Brian O'Connor
am i the only one who thinks its nice seeing 18-20 year old girls out??? you all sound like old people **shakes head**
Scott Siclari
great change. the college bro's and ho's are getting a bit out of hand, but i definitely wouldn't want to see the ones who are there because they truly appreciate the music to miss out.
Rocío Hernández
@Brian there are always cool 18-20 year olds. They can still get in at the door Sun-Thur and in fact they can go see Ewan Pearson right now! I think they're just trying to find a way to keep the respectful young people around without it turning into a college hang out that attracts a bunch of disrespectful young people.
Elawna de Oro
ok all ya'll old heads, there are tons of respectful young people who love u street because of its amazing music selection. I've been there so many times and i can honestly say i've always been pretty chill. you were once my age and wanted a place to listen to great djs too!
Alicia McNee
I think this is awesome!
