Buying Tickets & Event Capacity:
πŸŒ™ Maximum capacity of 35 attendees, so get your tickets online to ensure your spot! RSVPing on Fetlife doesn't count.
πŸŒ™ To avoid Forbidden Tickets's fees, select the registration-only ticket and pay an alternate way. We accept cash, checks, credit/debit cards, PayPal (@BoxTieStudio), Venmo (@boxtiestudio), and Cashapp ($ropespaced). If you pay one of these ways ahead of time (not at the door), please indicate which order it's for (the email address on your order works). If the ticket cost is out of your budget please reach out to us directly.
πŸŒ™ Our pricing is on a sliding scale to fight against economic inequality, broaden access to education & events, and build an inclusive community. Please pay according to your available resources.

What To Bring & Wear:
πŸ’« Bring a blanket or yoga mat to sit or play on, water, toys, rope, and safety gear.
πŸ’« We have loaner rope available to borrow! You can also purchase rope if you don't own any. Box Tie merchandise is now for sale!
πŸ’« Vanilla to the door; once inside, genitals and anuses must be covered (thong minimum, free the titties!) The theme this month is "Winter Solstice," so interpret that however you'd like - snow, stars & moons, pagan, etc. As always, fetish-wear is welcome, and participating in the theme is optional.
πŸ’« You can come alone or with a partner or friends. We won't match up single attendees for you, but we have a "Wish Board" for pick-up play!

Parking & Arrival Time:
πŸŒ‘ Doors open at 6:15pm and close at 6:45pm. Please try to arrive early! Do not start tying or playing before the welcome intro.
πŸŒ‘ There is plenty of free parking! When you turn onto Ingersoll Drive, the parking lot and building are the first left. We are the second-floor end unit; you'll see tall windows and skylights from outside.
