- What is Nite of 1000 Tailz Consent Policy?
Consent is MANDATORY at Nite of 1000 Tailz and we have a zero tolerance policy for consent violations. We ask that guests abide by the Risk-Aware Consensual Kink Framework or RACK.
Risk-Aware: You take personal responsibility for knowing what you’re getting into. Whether it’s a pet play scene, sensual spanking, or groping on the dance floor—every act carries risk. You are expected to research, prepare, ask questions, and negotiate your scenes accordingly, as either a Top or bottom.
Consensual: All acts must be explicitly negotiated—this includes clearly stating your boundaries, hearing and respecting others’, and checking in before, during, and after scenes. No assumptions. No gray areas. Clear “yes” means yes. Anything that is not a yes for that particular scene is automatically and forever a no.
Kink: We celebrate kink in all its many forms—from soft and sensual to wild and extreme. We do not shame any consensual desire, nor do we police how people express their pleasure, power, or submission. What matters is that everyone involved is fully informed and freely choosing to participate.
Violations may result in immediate expulsion from the event at the discretion of organizers, hosts, and venue staff—no warnings necessary.
- What Safety Measures are in Place at Tailz?
If something happens:
Speak to a Producer (Team Tailz: Magnus, Booboo, or Finn) or Safety Monitor (wearing green armbands) immediately. We are here to support you.
Your safety and well-being come first.
We encourage all attendees to practice Radical Self-Care—if something triggers you, you can always step away or ask for help. Your feelings are valid.
Additionally, we recognize that not all consent violations are malicious. Consent accidents can happen—due to miscommunication, misunderstanding, or incomplete negotiation. When this happens, we expect attendees responsible for consent accidents to take accountability and seek repair when harm occurs.
- Will there be a Clothes/Coat Check?
Yes! It will be $4 and card only.
- Will tickets be sold at the door?
Yes, but ticket prices will go up $5 at the door, so we recommend purchasing ahead of time. Cash and card will be accepted at the door.
