FAQs

Is nudity allowed?

The venue does not have the newly established license that permits nudity where alcohol is served. Washington state law forbids nudity where alcohol is served. Pasties are great accessories! We ask that all binary and non-binary to cover up those nips and cracks please.

Can I bring toys?

Unfortunately the venue has strict security guidelines and toys of any kind are not allowed. Examples include but not limited to: whips, floggers, paddles. If you’re interested in playing please consider attending Seattle’s first ever Fetish Cruise play party on March 28, 2025.

I never been to a Fetish Ball, what should I expect?

Expect a fun filled night.

Are refunds given?

No refunds are given for any reason. But you can transfer your tickets.

Why is there such a high standard of dress code?

Remember this is a fetish ball you are attending and the bar is set to “37 pieces of flair”. This is your chance to push your fashion, and style boundaries in an encouraging space. Fetishists love to compliment.

Will there be a coat check?

Yes! No cost to you coat check services will be provided.

I lost an item, did anyone find it?

Please contact the venue.

Is the venue ADA?

Yes

Can I attend in just my undies, or bra & panties?

Skin doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in. Please read the Dress Code, and Inspiration page to get an idea of what’s potentially acceptable. We encourage you to push past the basic and explore your creative side.

Are photos allowed?

A professional photographer will be taking photos and let’s be honest, they’ll take better photos than a selfie.

I’m new to the scene, can I still attend?

Yes! Seattle Fetish Ball is for everyone regardless of experience. Should you have any hesitations, please contact us and we’ll do our best to answer any questions.

Will there be a play space or dungeon?

We ask that you dress prior to arriving. The venue is not conducive for outfit changing.

Can I wear all black?

Basic black is just that, basic. Let’s give a little more effort please.

Is there parking?

There is plenty of street parking available at Showbox SoDo.

How do I transfer tickets to another person?

Please reach out to AXS.

Can I upgrade my ticket?

Tickets are not 'upgradable' (ie, you cannot purchase a GA then pay the difference to obtain a VIP).

Is there a ticket package for both the cruise and Ball?

Unfortunately there was no way to offer a package as the venues use different ticketing platforms.

I only want to see the band, do I still have to adhere to the dress code?

Yes. If Emily and Mark can do it so can you!
