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

Expect a fun filled night with 2 amazing DJs who will make you dance your heart out. There will be a fetish fashion show by Dark Garden Corsetry, and one by Blacklickorish Latex. Enjoy a highly curated lineup of award winning performers, ranging from a whip act, a pin cushion act, to a titillating burlesque act . You can read more about the performers on the Performers page. Of course expect to be seen in your amazing outfit and see other guests in theirs.

Are refunds given?

No refunds are given for any reason.

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! Free coat check services will be provided.

I lost an item, did anyone find it?

Please contact the venue. They will hold items for up to two weeks.

Is the venue ADA?

The main floor is but the balcony is not.

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?

Photos will be allowed in the Lobby only. Please be mindful of people in the background and obtain consent from everyone within the frame. A professional photographer will be taking photos on the main floor.

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.

Is there a VIP room?

Seattle Fetish Ball is about inclusion and thus a VIP area doesn’t align with our values. We do offer balcony access but by the nature of the venue we are only able to have a certain capacity, i.e. only a certain number of tickets sold.

Will there be a play space or dungeon?

Due to the nature of the event we cannot offer a play space or dungeon for any kind of sexual or bdsm acts when serving liquor. Please contact your state representatives.

Can I change into my outfit at the venue?

We ask that you dress prior to arriving but you may change upon arrival at the venue if needed.

Can I wear all black?

Why of course, but add a little accessory to make it fetish!

There is plenty of street parking available at Emerald City Trapeze.
