Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. A mobile ticket on your phone is all you need — show it to your guide at the meeting point.
What ID do I need to bring?
You must carry a physical, government-issued ID from your country of residence. Digital photos or screenshots of your ID will not be accepted at the door.
Is there an age restriction?
Yes. Participants must be aged 19 to 45 inclusive. Anyone outside this range will not be permitted to join, regardless of booking.
What should I wear?
Smart-casual is the standard. Gym shorts, men's tank tops, flip-flops, sandals, sweatpants, and tracksuit bottoms are not permitted at the venues.
Can I leave early if I want to?
Yes. The crawl runs for approximately five hours, but you're free to leave at any point during the evening — there's no obligation to stay until the end.
What's the difference between the Hongdae and Itaewon options?
Hongdae is known for its youthful indie-club scene and lively street culture, while Itaewon has a more international, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Both options follow the same format — four venues, welcome shots, and a guide — so the choice comes down to which area you prefer.
