Please note: Humanitix asks for First Name, Last Name, Mobile, and Email at checkout, which I can't turn off, but please feel free to fill these sections with nonsense if you wish. On the following page at checkout, I ask for first name (can be an alias/preferred name) and FetLife handle, and this is all I need/want. Entering a valid email will mean you'll be sent a copy of your ticket, but you can also contact me for a copy if you'd prefer.

Frequently asked questions:

Q: What will the vibe be like at Rainbow Rope Jam #1?
A: Fun, social, inclusive, friendly and consent-focussed. We’re striving to create a welcoming space for all bodies, abilities, backgrounds, and intentions, to come together to have fun with rope! We have a zero tolerance policy on bigotry and hate; this means no racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, size or body shaming, bullying, or anything else meant to tear others down.
This is the first one, so expect a few bumps along the way! 💕

Q: What should I wear?
A: For the most part, anything you’re comfortable with. We request no outfits that will make a mess in the space (glitter, feathers, etc), but outside of that, anything (including nudity) that makes you feel good and you feel comfortable tying or being tied in, is perfect!

Q: What IS a rope jam?
A: A social event set up with spaces to tie yourself, or others (by negotiation), and connect with other people to share skills and hang out. This is not a class, place to pick up, or sex on premises event.

Q: What kind of tying can I do?
A: Anything that is within your skill level and comfort zone! There is a suspension frame available, jigsaw mats/room for floor rope, and others will be self-tying or tying on others. Touching others or interacting with play must always be negotiated first.

Q: Is rope provided?
A: Nope! Shears will be present but it’s expected that you bring both your own rope and cutting tool if you’re intending to tie, and to always ask before touching anyone else's rope.

Q: I’m brand new to rope, help!
A: If you’re brand new to rope, it’s suggested you take at least 1 beginner class before attending so you have a basic understanding of anatomy and safety. I love the vibe at @MelCommunityRope and highly recommend their beginner classes and rope jams!

Q: Why was Rainbow Rope Jam created?
A: I've been part of a lot of discussions about a lack of free or low cost spaces in the scene to play, learn, and interact with others outside of munches. This has been born out of those, a desire to see more rope events happening in Melbourne's southeastern suburbs, and the fact my house isn't big enough to fit all my rope friends in when we're tying. 😂
