Tickets and Refund Policy
Unless otherwise noted in the event and ticket type, all attendees must be approved members with an active fwb membership. For events with public tickets, we may require an interview prior to approving your RSVP.
Your ticket must match your membership type at the time of purchase and the time of the event. (e.g. if you have a casual fwb membership, you will need to purchase a casual fwb member ticket).
We do not offer refunds. The only exception is if we cancel an event - you can request a refund or a credit for a future event.
If you are sick, have recently been exposed to someone who is sick, or tested positive for covid, we offer credit for future events. Please let us know 2 hours prior to an event start time.
Accessibility
The building is ADA accessible. The space is on the third floor and there is an elevator.
Note for people with wheelchairs, canes, other walking assistance devices: the tile of the lobby floor is uneven so be careful navigating, and the bathroom is not ADA compliant.
This is a low-scent event: no perfume, cologne, or essential oils.
If you have a latex allergy, please email us at friends@fwb.events so we can ensure to remove any latex products in the play space and ask our participants to leave their latex products at home.
Phone policy:
You must check in your phone(s) with one of our hosts. We discourage checking phones during social time, but if you must check your phone before doors lock, you may check it at the front desk and promptly return it to our staff.
Once doors have locked, there are no phones allowed. If you need to check your phone, you will be asked to leave the event.
Community Health and Safety
We require all attendees to test for COVID before you arrive. No need to send results - it's an honor system. (Note: during covid spikes, we may require proof of a negative test.) If you are feeling sick, were recently exposed to someone who is sick, or test positive, we ask that you stay home to help us keep our community safe and healthy. We will provide you credit for a future event.
We advocate for safer sex practices at fwb. We aim to foster a culture where people openly discuss sexual health and practice informed consent. Do not refer to negative STI results as “clean.” Don’t make jokes about STIs or people with them. Decide your risk tolerance when engaging in play and communicate your STI status and safer sex preferences with any potential partners. If someone discloses a positive STI result, do not shame or disparage them.
We offer barriers of all kinds (dental dams, condoms, finger condoms, gloves) if your preference is to avoid any fluid exchange.
We provide black wristbands to people who have shared negative STI results for HIV 1 & 2, chlamydia, and gonorrhea from the past 30 days. You can email, text, telegram, or share your results in person with staff at the event to receive your wristband.
