FAQ

We ask that everyone arrive 10-15 minutes before the bus plans to depart. That would mean 9:50 for the 10am bus and 1:20pm for the 1:30pm bus. We will not wait longer than 10 minutes to depart especially if the bus is full and all other trainers have arrived on time and are ready to go.

Remember that these raids are timed and our goal is to hit as many raids during the 3 hour shift as possible. The time goes fast and many trainers have saved passes and eggs and star pieces which are running. It is not fair to the group to wait on one person.

During those 15 minutes before departure, we are often busy getting everyone checked in and making sure they have a seat and a confirmed ticket so we are not checking our phones. You are welcome to text or call 512.632.6251.

We will not issue a refund to anyone who is running late.
