ATTENDANCE ADDENDUM

*Please read this as well!!

Because we book our events in multiple venues and states, please keep in mind our main attendance policy specifically applies to our home base in Nashville. Some events may be 21+ rather than 18+. Some events may have food and drink available and some may not. This does not change the code of conduct, and above all, PLEASE respect venue's staff and Ravefurrest staff alike!

ATTENDANCE POLICY

*Required for all attendees of Ravefurrest.

ENTRANCE PROCEDURE

Please have ID ready at the door. The event is meant for 18+ attendees only, no minors allowed. The venue and live music may contain mature content, strong language, and attire geared towards adults.
Upon entering the venue you will receive a wristband. Please do not take it off. If it is too tight or falls off, alert a staff member immediately.

CODE OF CONDUCT

Please practice southern hospitality as you would any other public space. Be kind to others, be considerate, and look after your fellow furry friends. We are a community! We do not tolerate racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, or any hate speech. Any harassment, towards guests or staff - will result in you being blacklisted from attending Ravefurrest.

Any verbal or physical harassment is not allowed - if you are making someone uncomfortable, or someone tells you to "leave them alone", or tells you "no", respect their boundaries. If someone is wearing a fursuit, leash, cosplay, or similar attire, it is NOT permission to touch them. Do not hug, tackle, or poke other attendees under any circumstances.

ARTIST ETIQUETTE

Remember that the main focus of this event is enjoying the music and art! While you are there to have fun, you need to treat them with respect as well. The stage is not meant for general attendees. Only go on the stage if you are invited or asked by a staff member. No exceptions! When someone is performing, please cheer, clap, dance, and sing along! But please do not harass, belittle, or insult the performers. There is something for everyone at Ravefurrest, so please treat all genres and styles of performance with kindness and encouragement.

• Art

Please feel free to chat with the art vendors and browse the wares at your own leisure, but be aware that there might be people behind you. Consider taking a peek at the items and then coming back later. It is possible you can ask a vendor to hold an item for you. Try not to touch all merch excessively unless you are buying it. Remember that the vendors are small artists trying to make money. Some artists make art as their sole income! Do not promise to buy something and ghost them. Do not steal from vendors. This is a good way to get blacklisted from the event. Some artists may offer online stores if you want to buy something at another time.

SAFETY MEASURES

Please be considerate of others! No crowding around the entryways, doors, and lobby area. If you are not browsing the vendors or enjoying the music, stepping outside is recommended. This helps the flow of traffic through the space.

We will have a limited supply of earplugs, masks, and hand sanitizer for attendees. For more information see here.

No guns, swords, or anything that shoots projectiles is allowed. Make sure any props or toys you bring do not resemble real weapons. Toy guns must be brightly colored and with no bullets. Toy swords cannot have a sharp edge. No water guns. Leashes cannot be long enough to cause someone to trip. Do not tug on leashes as it is a choking hazard.

We ask that attendees assist the staff as much as possible. We are a small team and cannot have eyes everywhere at all times. Again, we are a community. If there is something that is bothering you or other guests, please find security immediately and alert them. This means if you see violence, harassment, vandalism, or mischief, please turn the situation over to staff and walk away from the situation. Do not involve yourself unnecessarily in danger. The staff does not have time during the event to deal with arguments, interpersonal problems, or "drama" (unless it escalates into violence). It is in your best interest to ignore negativity and enjoy the remaining duration of the event.Please understand that the policies in place cover worst-case scenarios so staff can be prepared. If a staff member asks to see your wristband or ID, present it immediately. If you are having a communication problem with one staff member, kindly request to defer to another. Security and staff can remove anyone from the venue if they are believed to be disrupting the other guests.Don't forget - peace, love, unity, respect. You might encounter someone who has never been to a rave before. Someone might need some extra space, water, or other means of support. We aim to make the rave as fun and supportive of an environment as possible, so please bring your best vibes. PLUR!

FAQ

Where is the event located?

We are based in Nashville, TN, and tour across the US. We frequently go to Dallas, Atlanta, NYC and many other large cities.We were even recently able to tour into Canada!Please check our events page and social media to see where we are going next.

Why haven't you come to my city recently?

While we wish we could be on the move non-stop, there’s only so many weekends in a year. We’re always looking for new cities to play in, but a number of factors make this more difficult than it would seem. In order to give you the best experience possible, we have specific requirements for venues that go beyond that of a typical touring act. These include the ability to allow you to fursuit, 18+ whenever possible, and late closing times (1 AM or later). This is also the reason we aren’t able to return to some cities as frequently as we’d like to.If you’d like to help us come to your city, please fill out this form!

Why is the event 18+?

Our events are 18+ for safety and responsibility reasons. Sometimes, when collaborating with venues, the events can be 21+. Often, these venues are bars and this is the reason why.There will never be an all-ages Ravefurrest.

Am I allowed to wear a fursuit / rave gear / tail?

Yes! Just be sure to be aware of crowded spots in the venue. Please read our Code of Conduct for more information about costumes.

Do you pay at the door?

Be sure to have cash, venmo, or cashapp ready at the door. Pre-sale tickets are posted on social media and are available on our website / RA / other ticketing platform. You will show your phone to the staff for pre-sale tickets.

What should I bring?
