Brandi Carlile Burn the Setlist tour: tickets and phone-free guide

Brandi Carlile's Burn the Setlist (The All Request Tour) has 15 shows in nine US cities from November 5 to December 17, 2026. Carlile will perform as a trio with Phil and Tim Hanseroth, building each set from requests made in the room. Every show is planned as a phone-free Yondr event.

Premium Bramily presales begin September 29 at 10:00 am local time, followed by the non-premium Bramily presale at 2:00 pm local time. The public sale begins October 2 at 10:00 am local time. Some dates also list local or Live Nation presales, so use the link attached to the exact show on the official tour page.

The short plan: secure the concert ticket first, reserve refundable travel second, and prepare your mobile ticket before reaching the Yondr pouching point. Save your seat, hotel address and return route offline. The locked phone is part of the show format, so do not build a plan that depends on messaging or maps during the performance.

This guide was checked on September 29, 2026 against the artist's tour page, the tour announcement, Yondr's current visitor FAQ and venue pages. Ticket inventory, prices, doors, access arrangements and local transport can change. Recheck the authorized event page before paying and again before travel.

Brandi Carlile Burn the Setlist tour dates

The run consists of theater shows rather than one large arena itinerary. Tucson, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Louisville each have two nights. Port Chester has three.

These dates are the announced fall 2026 run. Do not use a social post or resale page as evidence that another city has been added. A new date is confirmed only when it appears through the artist or an authorized venue and ticket route.

When do Brandi Carlile presales and tickets open?

The announced sale schedule uses each venue's local time.

Being in a presale does not guarantee a ticket. It provides access to the inventory released for that sale. Codes may be account-specific or distributed through a particular membership or venue channel. Do not pay a stranger for a code or assume one city's code works for the entire tour.

Prepare before the ticket queue

Open the show from Brandi Carlile's tour page, then confirm the city, venue and date on the authorized seller before signing in. Complete account verification and add the payment method you intend to use. If your bank may challenge an international purchase, arrange that before the queue opens.

Set these limits in advance:

1. Your maximum checkout total, including disclosed fees.
2. The sections or seat locations you would accept.
3. A backup date in the same city, if there is one you would genuinely attend.
4. The travel budget at which a different city stops making sense.

There is no verified single face-value range for every date. Prices can differ by venue, seat, sale and inventory. Use the total shown by the authorized seller for the exact seat. Reddit reports can reveal what buyers are worried about, but they are not reliable price lists.

How the phone-free Yondr show works

The announced format uses Yondr pouches. According to Yondr's visitor FAQ, staff ask guests to place phones and smart watches in a pouch that locks at entry. You keep the pouch with you. Designated phone-use areas may be available, where staff can unlock and relock it, and staff unlock pouches as guests leave.

That process creates five practical steps:

1. Load the mobile ticket before you reach the entry line.
2. Present it at the scanning point directed by venue staff.
3. Silence alarms and notifications before putting the device in the pouch.
4. Keep the pouch with you during the performance.
5. Join the unlocking point on exit before using maps, messages or rideshare.

Yondr says mobile tickets can be unlocked and scanned during entry. The exact sequence belongs to the venue, however, so follow the email for your show. If you need phone access for a medical, communication or accessibility reason, contact the venue before the event. Do not assume a general phone-use area meets a specific accommodation need.

Save the details you normally look up on your phone

Write down or save offline:

• your section, row and seat;
• the name of your entrance;
• your hotel address and front-desk number;
• the last practical train or bus;
• a backup pickup point outside the busiest exit area;
• the contact details of anyone attending with you.

A paper note can be more useful than a screenshot once the phone is locked. A screenshot is not a substitute for the live ticket if the authorized seller uses a changing barcode.

How do song requests work?

The tour announcement says Carlile, Phil Hanseroth and Tim Hanseroth will build each night's set from requests made live in the room. It does not publish one standardized online request form or promise that a particular request will be played.

Treat the request element as part of the performance, not a guaranteed service attached to the ticket. If you plan to bring a sign, check the venue's size and prohibited-item rules first. A sign that blocks sightlines or breaches local rules may not be admitted.

The spontaneous format also means there may not be a dependable setlist from the previous night. That is the point of the show. It is useful to know if you are deciding between two dates: a second night in the same city may produce a different set, but the announcement does not guarantee how different it will be.

Which tour city is easiest for a visitor?

Choose by ticket availability, transport and total trip cost rather than venue fame alone.

Oakland has the clearest published transit advantage in the current venue material: the Fox Theater says 19th Street BART is one block away. Check the final train for your destination closer to the show date.

Port Chester is useful for visitors who want rail access from the New York area. The Capitol Theatre says it is directly across the street from the Port Chester Metro-North station. The three-night run also creates more date choices, though each night has separate inventory.

Tucson, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Louisville each offer two nights. That can provide a same-city fallback without changing hotels or airports. It does not mean unsold seats from one date transfer to the other.

Kansas City follows Louisville the next day. Attempting both can create a tight travel schedule. Check the real door time, transport duration and recovery margin before buying both shows.

The announced venues are in the United States, but they are not interchangeable. Airport access, hotel prices, late transit and weather vary considerably in November and December. Compare the whole journey before joining several queues.

Book a phone-free concert trip in the right order

Use this booking sequence:

1. Buy from the artist, venue or linked authorized seller.
2. Confirm the order, date, city, venue and seat details.
3. Reserve a refundable hotel with a workable late return.
4. Book transport after reading its change terms.
5. Check passport and US entry requirements through official government sources.
6. Add the ticket to the supported wallet, if offered, and retain the seller app.
7. Save the hotel, route and booking references offline.

If traveling internationally, leave recovery time before the concert rather than landing on the day of the show. An immigration delay, missed connection or baggage problem can consume the margin that looked adequate on a timetable.

Venue rules, bags and accessibility are local

The tour announcement does not set one bag rule, age rule or accessibility process for all 15 shows. Revolution Hall currently labels the Portland date all ages, but that does not establish an age policy elsewhere. The Pabst Theater and other hosts publish their own event information.

Check the exact venue for:

• bag dimensions and prohibited items;
• age restrictions and whether a minor needs an adult;
• accessible ticket and companion-seat booking;
• step-free entrances, lifts and toilet access;
• assisted-listening or interpretation requests;
• door time and late-admission policy;
• coat check and winter-weather queue arrangements;
• parking, transit and rideshare pickup points.

Contact the venue before buying if an accessibility requirement affects the seat or entry route. Do not assume a standard ticket can be moved later.

What happens to the show recording and QR content?

The announcement says each attendee will receive a unique QR code for three selected bootleg recordings plus photos and other material from the show. It also says full show recordings will be available to purchase for attendees and Bramily members.

The announcement does not yet provide a universal redemption deadline, delivery schedule, file format or support process. Keep the purchase email and any item issued at the venue. Follow the official redemption instructions when they arrive rather than scanning a code reposted by another account.

Mobile data before entry and after the show

Mobile data is useful for loading the seller app, receiving a changed entrance notice, checking transit, finding the hotel and arranging the return journey. It will not help while the phone is locked in its pouch, and an eSIM cannot bypass the Yondr policy, a ticket queue or venue capacity.

OpenSim's public catalog, checked September 29, lists United States plans from USD 0.60, USA & Canada from USD 2.20, North America from USD 2.30 and Global 120+ from USD 8.90. Those are starting prices, not recommendations for a particular allowance. Check the data amount, validity, coverage and package terms on the product page before purchase.

The practical OpenSim advantage for this tour is route choice. A visitor making only a US trip can compare the United States plan, while someone combining the show with Canada, Mexico or a wider itinerary can compare a regional or global option without buying a plan that does not match the route.

Use the travel data calculator to estimate an allowance. Check whether your phone supports eSIM, then follow the installation timing guide while reliable Wi-Fi is available. The broader travel eSIM and roaming comparison explains the tradeoffs without duplicating them here.

Brandi Carlile Burn the Setlist tour questions

How many Burn the Setlist shows are there?

There are 15 announced shows in nine US cities from November 5 through December 17, 2026.

When is the Brandi Carlile general sale?

The announced general sale begins October 2 at 10:00 am in each venue's local time zone, subject to the authorized local listing.

Is the Bramily presale code the same for every buyer?

Do not assume it is transferable or universal. Use the instruction attached to your eligible Bramily account and the exact event page.

How much are Brandi Carlile Burn the Setlist tickets?

There is no verified tour-wide price. Compare the face value and final total displayed by the authorized seller for your chosen city and seat.

Will my phone be taken away at the show?

Yondr says guests keep possession of the locked pouch containing their phone and smart watch. Staff unlock it in designated use areas or when leaving.

Can I use a mobile ticket at a Yondr event?

Yes, Yondr's current FAQ says staff can unlock the pouch so a mobile ticket can be scanned. Load the ticket before entry and follow the venue's stated sequence.

What if I need my phone for accessibility or an emergency?

Contact the venue before the show about a specific accommodation. Yondr describes designated phone-use areas, but the venue controls the local emergency and accessibility process.

How can I request a song?

The tour is built around requests made live in the room. No single official online request procedure has been announced for all dates. Follow instructions at the show and check venue rules before bringing a sign.

Will every night have a different setlist?

The live-request format makes variation likely, but no minimum difference is guaranteed. Buy a second night only if the possibility, not a promised song list, is worth it to you.

Which city has the best public transport?

There is no universal winner for every starting point. Oakland's venue is one block from 19th Street BART, while Port Chester's is across from Metro-North. Check late service for your exact show and hotel.

How this Burn the Setlist guide is maintained

Dates and the core format come from Brandi Carlile's official tour page and the September 28 announcement. Phone-pouch mechanics come from Yondr's current visitor FAQ. Transit and event details are limited to the relevant venue's own pages. Public discussions were used to identify unresolved buyer questions, not as evidence for price, inventory or policy.

We will update this guide when dates, sale times, venues, entry rules or the announced recording process change. Your ticket order and the live venue event page remain the final sources for your show.
