FAQs

*So wait, I have to bring a date in order to get a date? 

If you're able to, we're just asking you to bring a friend of a different gender. Text your winning wingman, housemate, hottest match, work bestie, cute neighbour, cousin or least problematic ex and tell them they’re needed!

By having everyone come with friends we find it’s a much better atmosphere - a lot less school prom and a lot more flirty bar. It also helps us throw bigger events which means more chances for you to meet someone you spark with.

If you’ve tried your darndest but can't find a wingperson, hit ‘join waitlist’ next to your ticket type and we’ll shoot you an email if we can squeeze you in. If you're tossing up other plans, you can DM us and we can let you know how it's looking.

Is there an age range?

There's no age policy but to give you a guide our demographic is usually people in their 20s and 30s, with most attendees sitting between 25 and 35.  

Will I date everyone? 

Not usually, no. There will be between 40 and 74 people, however we'll only sit you down with 14-15 people. There'll be lots of time during the break and after the event for you to chat to whoever you like though. Everyone’s there to meet new people, so don’t be shy about saying hello to a stranger!

I'm bi/queer, will I also get to date people of my own gender? 

Unfortunately not at this one, but you can always talk to people in the break and put their name on your card or take the initiative and do an ig or number swap on the night. We also run queer events just as regularly so please check out our profile!

What if I don't identify as a man or woman?

People at this event are split into 'men' and 'women'. We understand that not everyone at the event might identify this way and we absolutely welcome all genders, so we recommend offering your pronouns or writing them on your name tag if they differ from he/him or she/her. We also run queer events which are better set up to accommodate a wide range of genders and sexualities.  

Do I get free drinks just for showing up?

No, sorry! We prioritise as-affordable-as-possible ticket pricing over free drinks, having not raised our ticket prices since people still used facebook for reasons other than talking to their auntie. That said, we always run a competition on the night where you can win a bar tab. 

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

Name changes on the door are fine (so long as the gender on each ticket remains the same) but if you can let us know in advance it's always appreciated as we make cute handwritten name stickers for everyone. 

What's the refund policy? 

To get a refund, you must let us know at least 7 days prior to the event date. Mixed gender groups can transfer their tickets to the following month's event, but they must be transferred as a group and not split up. You can do this once only (no transfers or refunds after the first transfer) and you must let us know that you won't be attending at least 4 hours prior to event start time. If you are experiencing symptoms or your pre-event RAT comes up positive, let us know at any point prior to the event start time and we will transfer your tickets to a later date at no extra cost. The nature of the event means we're heavily reliant on numbers, so please be conscious of this and give us as much notice as possible so we have time to replace you. We won't be able to offer you a refund or transfer if you are a no-show/don't contact us until after the event has started.
