• What if I'm completely new to this?

  We've got you covered! We will greet you on arrival, just let us know you are new to this.

  There will be a short 10min info session at the start of the event to cover basic safety considerations and we will happily assist you during the event if you would like some help to get started. Please also read the safety basics section in our terms and conditions prior to attending.

  We can also introduce you to others in the group if you'd like to meet new people.

  There's absolutely no obligation to tie at all - you can just come along to hang out if you want!

• Do I have to arrive at the start time?

  You can arrive at anytime during the event but the info session, wristband explanation and introduction to others will only occur at the start of the event.

• What if I don't have any rope or don't know what type to get?

  There will be a limited supply of jute, nylon and synthetic ropes that you can use during the event. There will also be nylon and synthetic rope in some beautiful colours for sale if you would like to purchase some at the event. Cost is $25 for synthetic and $60 for nylon.

  If you want to purchase a budget friendly option to start out with, soft cotton rope from discount stores (like Shiploads) is a good way to start.

• What is a 'Wristband System'?

  A wristband system works to enable people at an body-centred rope event to see if someone is open to being asked if they would like to be tied, or to tie someone, or both. The wristbands are 3 different colours and each represents one of those options. It is a means of helping people to feel comfortable to start a conversation with someone they don't know, or don't know if they would be receptive to an invitation to engage in rope tying. Wearing a wristband only means you are open to the question "would you like to be tied by me" or "would you like to tie me" - it does not mean that you have to say yes. We will also explain this at the beginning of the event.

• Is there also a workshop at this event?

  There is no formal workshop at this event but a short 10min info session covering safety basics will be conducted at the beginning of the event for those who are new to this, and we will be on hand to assist you if you have questions or need help during the event.

• Can I get a refund or give my ticket to someone else?

  Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable (you can't give it to someone else). However, if the event sells out a resale function will be available whereby you can offer your ticket to someone else. If you would like to gift your ticket to someone else (if the event sells out) instead of offering for resale please contact the host.
