Frequently Asked Questions.
1. Was my credit card incorrectly charged?
Answer:
When a credit/debit card is used at Scout it is automatically authorized for $60. Sometimes the bartender will manually authorize for $30 if they think the customer is going to spend a small amount. This will hold the amount authorized for (1) to (3) business days depending on your credit card company. Then your online statement will show the correct amount spent. If not, please contact Aline Wilson at: alinebwilson@aol.com and she will help you.

5. What are the Age Requirements?
Answer:
Scout is always 21 and up except Wed/New Music Night which is 18 and up. National act shows
are on a per show basis. Some shows are 18 and up, some are All Ages. Check the banner for the show you are interested in for age requirements.
All Ages Show Restrictions: Children 12 and under are generally not admitted. If you wish to bring your child to a show, please get prior approval before show date. Children under 16 MUST be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The phrase "All Ages" used on any flyer, ad or other website, including Frontgate's, only means that the event is not restricted to 18 or 21 and up. Carefully note any age restrictions when purchasing tickets. If an event is listed as 18 or 21+ only, that means ALL patrons.

11. How do I get my band on the Texas Buzz?
Answer:
The most effective way to be considered for a Texas Buzz showcase is by coming up during a show and give your demo directly to A.D. If that is not an option, please email a link to your myspace to bonewilson@aol.com. *Please be patient. There are a lot of bands submitting, so plan on it taking a while for someone to get back to you.*
