VETTING:
On your ticket order, purchase a Playroom Pass with your entry pass. You will check off which playrooms you would like to attend (swing, bdsm, or both), and you must follow REAF vetting rules for the playrooms you request. If you order your Playroom Pass by February 1, we will notify you by March 1 of your vetting status and class links if needed. Anyone ordering Playroom Passes after February 1 must take our classes (see schedule below).

PRE-VETTING (order by Feb 1): You may be pre-approved if you are a verified member of a bdsm or swing club in good standing and have attended a party with that club, or if you were previously vetted from REAF in Auburn. Generally, all clubs in this region are eligible but they must be willing to verify the membership status of attendees no later than March 1. Clubs are formal groups that offer parties, education, and a code of conduct or rules of behavior. Private parties do not qualify as clubs.

CLASSES: You may get vetted by attending our Swinger 101 -OR- REAF BDSM 101 & Orientation classes (see below).
