Membership tiers

Every guest on Sidedoor has a membership tier. You’ll see it on the guest’s profile, next to their Sidedoor Score. It’s a quick signal of how committed a guest is to the platform.

The tiers

Tier	Roughly means
Free	The default. Everyone starts here.
Premium	A paying member - has chosen to invest in Sidedoor.
Premium+	The top paid tier - the most committed members.

If you want to, you can use a guest’s tier to gate access to specific guest lists and events. On a Guest List access profile, the Venue access tier field lets you limit who can see and join that list: All, Exclusive (Premium and Premium+ members) or Super Exclusive (Premium+ members only). The same tier restriction can be applied to an event’s ticket visibility. It’s a visibility and access gate on that specific list or ticket, not an automatic “book further ahead” window, and it’s off unless you switch it on: you set it per profile under Settings → Policies → Access Profiles. There’s no equivalent setting on Table profiles, so tier does not by itself change access to tables.

What it means for you

It’s a trust signal. A paying member has skin in the game, and it counts as one of the signals behind their global Sidedoor Score - so a higher tier lifts a guest’s reputation a little.
You don’t manage it. Membership is something guests buy and manage themselves; you can’t set or change a guest’s tier. It simply shows on their profile for context.
It’s platform-wide. Like the Sidedoor Score, a guest’s tier is the same at every venue - it reflects their standing across all of Sidedoor.
