FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I bring?
  Curiosity, kindness, and an open heart.

• Do I need to print my ticket?
  Nope, the email verification is enough

• What's the difference between waged, unwaged, and koha?
  Waged tickets are for folks who are employed, and unwaged tickets are for students and those who aren't working full-time. You can also contribute a koha amount so we can provide tickets to people who wouldn't be able to attend otherwise. The experience is the same regardless of your ticket type; we just want it to be accessible for everyone.

• What if I'm an introvert who hates gatherings?
  No sweat! We've tailored this evening to make you feel like you belong, whether you love all-night ragers or quiet corners. We'll be keeping a special eye out for folks who might be feeling awkward. The whole point of this event is meaningful connection, and we'll do our best to make sure you get it!

• Do I need to register or do you accept walk-ins on the day of the event?
  Please get your ticket in advance. We don't make sales at the door. We want you to have an experience that feels rich and meaningful, so we limit the number of attendees to make it an intimate gathering. This also allows us to reduce the time spent on check-in and jump right into the juicy stuff!
