New to SELECTA nights? Here is the practical checklist that experienced regulars run through without thinking about it.

Day before

• Buy tickets online, do not rely on door sales.
• Save the venue address in offline maps.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Decide who in your group is the meeting-point person.
• Find earplugs, check they fit.

Day of

• Eat a proper meal 1-2 hours before doors.
• Hydrate during the day, not just at the venue.
• Wear comfortable shoes you have danced in before.
• Layers: hot in the main room, cold in the corridors.
• Cash for cloakroom (3-5 euros) and bartender tips.

At the venue

• Cloakroom first, do not carry your coat all night.
• Find the water spot at the bar (free tap water in all Baltic venues).
• Set a meeting point with your group: "cloakroom at 03:00".
• Earplugs in before you walk through the dancefloor doors.
