Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an age requirement?
Yes, all attendees have to be 18+ on or before the date of the event. IDs will be checked at check-in and when you go through security upon entry to the event.
What’s the dress code?
For the Gilded Hearts Ball, all guests are invited as royals from different kingdoms so we encourage you to brainstorm what your idea of royalty would be and draw inspiration from that. We have created a Pinterest board in case you need some additional inspiration. We don’t require guests to adhere to any specific time period, but we do request that everyone wears either floor length gowns or suits (or the formal interpretation of a costumed ensemble if you opt to not wear a traditional suit. A suit of armor, for example, is acceptable in this case since the theme includes knights. We also ask guests to not wear tennis shoes. We don’t allow guests to remove their shoes and go barefoot for safety reasons, so please bring a back up pair of flats or more comfortable shoes to change into. You can leave them at coat check in the meantime. We reserve the right to turn guests away at the door if they don't adhere to the dress code. Real or prop weapons are not allowed.
What is your refund policy?
All ticket sales are final and nonrefundable. However, if you're no longer able to attend, you're welcome to resell your ticket(s) safely, fairly (no upselling allowed), and securely through Tixel up to one month before the event (third-party platform fees may apply).

You don’t! We will have several led dances that will be sent sent out a few weeks before the ball and taught at the ball itself. Twirling around to the music is highly encouraged otherwise and, if dancing is not your thing, we have many other activities that you can participate in. We will also be playing a few waltzes for those of you who would like to waltz at the ball!
I don't have anyone to go with—can I go solo?
Absolutely! We create a ticket holder Discord for each event so you can make friends beforehand. You will receive a link to that once you purchase your tickets.
