VETTING:
On your ticket order, you will be asked to check off which playrooms you would like to attend (swing, bdsm, or both). You must follow REAF vetting rules for whichever playrooms you request. Attendees should purchase a playroom pass (if they want one) with their entry passes, and we will notify them in March of their eligibility status and class links if needed. If they are not eligible, we will refund their Playroom Pass (does not affect their entry pass).

SINGLES: For 1 Playroom Pass on order ("single"): You must be pre-approved as a verified bdsm or swing club member, and have attended a party with that club, or previously verified from 2025 REAF (order by SUN March 1). Singles cannot get vetted through classes alone. Generally, all clubs in this region are eligible but they must be willing to verify the membership status of attendees. Clubs are formal groups that offer parties, education, and a code of conduct or rules of behavior. Private parties do not qualify as clubs.

COUPLES/TRIADS: For 2-3 Playroom Passes on order ("couple" or "triad"): You may be pre-approved as verified bdsm or swing club members, and have attended a party with that club, or previously verified from 2025 REAF (order by SUN March 1).
