@Bhamblet That is the way the family plan works.
Upgrading to the Family Plan means that you and up to five other accounts can enjoy all of the benefits of Pandora Premium, while keeping your individual Pandora accounts.
Although an invitation may have been sent to another email address, it won't actually activate until they accept the invitation.
My guess is that you are signed into one of those accounts in the studio you are still hearing ads in. Make sure to accept that invitation, and that should get rid of the ads.
If you'd like to speak with someone on our support team for further explanation, let me know and I can escalate you over to them.

Pandora for Business:
It sounds like you're using Pandora to play music in a public setting (which is not considered personal use). Pandora is available and optimized for use in settings like these through Mood Media, with features like unlimited listening, no advertising, and a media player that can connect to your existing sound system. Additionally, due to the terms of our music licenses, the consumer version of the Pandora service (including Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium) cannot legally be used to play music in a commercial or public setting. Any Pandora listening that isn't personal and private, even for non-profit or tax exempt organizations, must be properly licensed through Mood Media, which fairly compensates artists, authors, composers, publishers and other rightsholders. Use of Pandora in these settings is available only via hardware sold by Mood Media. To learn more or sign up, click here.
