OCT 20 / UPDATE : NEWS NEWS NEWS!

We have a more full update coming tomorrow, but now that we have had a chance to discuss things fully with the venue, we wanted to let everyone know we have decided to still go forward with the event, in full compliance with all CoVid safety requirements! We may not be able to do everything we originally planned, with some of the health order restrictions still needing to be in place, but we still have a HUGE and joyous celebration of music, art and culture planned, and an evening jammed full of wonderful social connections in store … IN PERSON. Let’s all celebrate through the catharsis of reunion!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW :

– refunds available to anyone who already bought a ticket and would prefer to now change plans! Send all refund requests to : ticketing@themrggroup.com

– all attendees must show proof of double vaccination at the door

– while indoors, attendees will be asked to wear a mask unless drinking, or seated at a table with your friend bubble – pulling it down to take a sip of your beverage is totally fine!

– mingling, standing, moving between tables, and moving through the space to interact with people, check out the art installations and performances is all is absolutely okay! You do not have to remain seated.

– there is no reserved or assigned seating, attendees are free to move around and use any of the many nearby seats as they desire.

– in accordance with current guidelines, there will not be a designated dance floor.

– out of an abundance of caution and to ensure all attendees feel safe and have space to maintain social distance as necessary, we will be operating at 50% of the venue’s capacity.

– we are already sold out at 50% capacity, so this does mean we can not currently release any more tickets. However, we expect some people to change plans, and may be able to release a small amount of more tickets based in this. We encourage people to sign up to the Newsletter for fastest access to updates!

– there is some risk in attending large gatherings. While small, the risk of Covid is never zero. By attending this event you understand the risk, confirm that you are double vaccinated, and that you are in good health, and showing no CoVid symptoms. Please stay home if you are not feeling well, there will be more events in the future ❤

UPDATE / OCT 16

Hello everyone! Thank you again for your continued patience and support for all our Sin City and Restricted Entertainment family of events! We’ve now hit the mid-month mark for October, and unfortunately there’s not much new to report since our last update on Sept 23. Read on for all the full details and answers to the most common questions people are asking right now, but more than ANYTHING, we highly strongly encourage you to sign up to the direct email Newsletters for our main events, and move away from relying on social media to stay connected! You can always easily unsubscribe anytime!

GET FIRST CRACK AT TICKETS BY SUBSCRIBING TO THE NEWSLETTER!

In the event that we ARE able to release more tickets to any of the events, tickets will be announced and links sent out via the Newsletter direct email lists FIRST and stand a very high likelihood of selling out before being announced on Facebook or anywhere else!

GENERAL OVERVIEW : STILL WAITING ON MORE INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITY.

The current status of what is allowed for indoor events is no dancing, no mingling outside of the group you came with, seated pub / lounge / restaurant / cabaret stage show style events only. However, we are on the cusp of the full implementation of the ‘Vaccine Passport’ coming into full effect on October 24th. The entire purpose of this is to be able to lift some restrictions for indoor gatherings where 100% of the attendance is double vaccinated, and for such events to be able to function more normally. In general, the entire nightlife industry across the city has planned for the assumption events will be ON for Halloween weekend.

The reality is, we may be waiting right up until October 24 when the vaccine passport goes into full effect, to receive the full details of what will be permitted. How (and even if!) club-style events will be permitted to function entirely depends on the details of what restrictions will be lifted or left in place.

One would hope we would all be given some advance indication of what to expect so event organizers and attendees alike aren’t left guessing and can make plans accordingly, but there are no guarantees, and there has been no news as of yet.

However, during a press briefing on Tuesday this past week, Dr. Bonnie Henry, the provincial health officer, said the province would make a decision by the end of the week regarding capacity and restriction changes for indoor events by the week, stating :

“Our intent was always, when the full vaccine card came into effect, that we would be able to go 100 per cent capacity and take away some of the other restrictions we have around some events, like dancing and remaining seated.”

It is now Saturday Oct 16 and while no further information has been released on this topic, it -sounds- encouraging and we are hoping for good news and a green light in the near future.

You can read a full article about the press briefing mentioned here :

https://globalnews.ca/news/8260353/bc-covid-19-event-capacity-limits/

In the event of any new developments, we’ll of course be releasing further updates!

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES / TICKET LEVELS

We have currently released tickets to 50% of the venue capacity, which are all completely sold out. Whether or not we can release more tickets and how / if the event can fully move forward is entirely dependent on news and further provincial instruction regarding the restrictions being left in place or removed with the implementation of the full vaccine passport coming into effect on Oct 24.

Here are the possible ways things can go :

1. Full green light, dancing allowed, 100% capacity allowed. In this case, more tickets will be released!

2. Partial green light, dancing allowed, reduced capacity. If this is the case, we may not be able to release any more tickets, but will still be able to go ahead with everyone who bought tickets already!

3. Partial green light, no dancing allowed, but full capacity and mingling allowed. This would be the most complicated option as we would still be able to gather but obviously many people would want to change plans if dancing was not permitted. In this case, refunds would be available to anyone who desired to change plans, and we would be developing the event in line with whatever instructions or permissions are given.

4. No change to restrictions, no dancing, no mingling. In this case, the event would be cancelled / postponed, and all tickets refunded. We are extremely optimistic that this will not be the case and that the health authority will encourage safe gatherings of 100% vaccinated party-goers by removing restrictions on those events.

TICKET WAIT LIST / REQUESTS FOR PERSONAL EMAILS OF TICKET AVAILABILITY

Unfortunately there is no way we can accommodate this outside of our Newsletter. Even before CoVid, our Halloween events are in extreme demand and always sell out. If and when more tickets become available, they will be available first come, first serve. We highly recommend people sign up to the Newsletters for the events they would like to follow for first access to tickets!

TAKE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN BUYING TICKETS FROM RE-SELLERS!

This applies to ALL events everywhere, not just here! During times of events with high demand such as Halloween and New Year’s, there is always a proliferation of scammers.

Take extreme caution when considering buying from ticket re-sellers who say they have tickets they no longer need and promise to send tickets over after receiving a cash transfer in one form or another. The ONLY official ticket vendor for this event is AdmitOne.com . We are not able to endorse, verify or take responsibility for any tickets sold anywhere other than from our official ticket vendor AdmitOne.

In the event that the event is postponed and tickets need to be refunded, AdmitOne will send refunds out to the original ticket purchaser on file, who is then responsible for any refunds for tickets they re-sold to a third party.

Before buying tickets from any source, make sure to thoroughly check them and make sure you are comfortable that you will be able to get your money back from them should the event be postponed!

If there are any issues with any ticket re-sellers, make sure to report their account immediately anywhere associated with their activity – Facebook, PayPal etc!

REFUNDS / TICKET NAME CHANGES

Any changes to purchased tickets are handled by MRG, the company which owns and operates the venue for our Halloween events.

You can direct any inquiries for refunds or changes to purchased tickets to :

ticketing@themrggroup.com

We know it’s mentally exhausting dealing with the uncertainty surrounding events at this time – we feel this and are doing everything we can to get back to fully legal and as safe as possible large-scale in-person events as soon as humanly possible. Thank you for sticking with us through all the twists and turns as we work our way towards that giant dancefloor where we can be all together again!

Hopefully we’ll have more news in a few days or later this week!

UPDATE COMING!

News posted October 14, 2021 / No Comments

Edit – So, no announcement was made on this today.

Perhaps the BC Health Authority meant something different when they said on Tuesday “We’ll make an announcement on this by the end of the week”? Either way, we’ll check in with an update of our own tomorrow / Saturday. Thanks for being patient, everyone!

Hello everyone! Just a quick message to let you know we will have another update tomorrow (Friday Oct 15), late afternoon.

There has been no change since our last update posted in the SIN CITY Fetish Halloween 2021 event listing, so we have nothing new to report as of yet. However! The provincial health authorities have stated they will be giving an update Friday specifically regarding activity and capacity restrictions for indoor events, which indoor venues can expect to come into effect on October 24, when the double vaccination requirement for indoor gatherings comes into full implementation.

Whether or not the events are able to proceed at full capacity and have more tickets released, or, whether we have to stay at 50% capacity tickets sold (which is where we are at right now) with no more tickets being released, or whether the event has to be postponed yet again, is all dependent on what restrictions (if any) are lifted by Halloween.

Please read this article from earlier this week for more information : https://globalnews.ca/news/8260353/bc-covid-19-event-capacity-limits/

The main parts of the article which are relevant to indoor nightclub-type events are listed below. While this doesn’t give any full guarantee of anything, it does sound encouraging that, at the very least, we’ll know by this weekend whether we can have dancing again by Halloween. Cross your fingers, toes and everything else!

B.C. TO DECIDE ON COVID-19 EVENT CAPACITY CHANGES BY END OF THIS WEEK

By Elizabeth McSheffrey ~ Global News
Posted October 12, 2021 1:15 pm

The province will decide by the end of this week whether it intends to change the capacity limits for organized events held during the COVID-19 pandemic.

British Columbia is one of the last provinces in Canada with guest number restrictions in place for events like weddings, hockey games, concerts, and theatre performances.

Those rules are now under review, said Dr. Bonnie Henry, as the deadline for requiring proof of double vaccination at events approaches.

“Our intent was always, when the full vaccine card came into effect, that we would be able to go 100 per cent capacity and take away some of the other restrictions we have around some events, like dancing and remaining seated,” said Dr. Henry, the provincial health officer, in a Tuesday press briefing.

Beginning Oct. 24, provincial health orders mandate that event organizers must obtain vaccine card proof of double vaccination, and deny entry to those who can’t produce it.

We know it’s a frustrating and exhausting waiting game right now. Thank you everyone for being so patient while we all wait for more information that will allow us to make further decisions and plans!

PURR – POSTPONED!

News posted October 1, 2021 / No Comments

Oct 3 update : PURR this weekend is postponed, all tickets have now been refunded.

Hopefully we can lock down a new date for an event and have a new ticket release date before long!

Full Info :

Hello everyone! Thank you all for your excitement and enthusiasm for what we had hoped to be our first event back. When we booked it months ago, things were looking bright, new case counts were consistently very low, and we had easily moved into Phase 3 of the provincial re-opening plans, which gave us the ability to have larger personal gatherings and got us one step closer to Phase, which was due to possibly happen Sept 7. Phase 4 is where indoor dancing becomes permitted, masks become optional, capacity sizes for indoor gatherings are increased. As we know, we have not been able to move to Phase 4 yet due to persistent high numbers of new cases, due to a variety of factors.

With the introduction of the vaccine passport, requiring all attendees of indoor events to be vaccinated, there was hope that restrictions for indoor gatherings of vaccinated attendees would be lifted, but as of today, nothing has been announced by the provincial health authorities in this regard. We can only cross our fingers that this -will- happen by October 24, when the requirement to have all attendees be double vaccinated comes fully into effect.

This leaves us currently still in Phase 3, which means no dancing, masks required, and no mingling, events must be seated. Staging PURR as an outdoor event, or a seated, and/or masked event is not an option, therefore, we are sadly cancelled for this weekend. Hopefully we will have a new date before long, but venues are in very short supply, with weekends booked up until well into the New Year.

A gigantic thank you to everyone for balancing excitement with patience as we wind our way back to in-person events. It’s a difficult and mentally taxing time riding the wave of changes and pulling everything together to be ready for events – all without knowing exactly when the rules may change or what they will change to, but we are getting there and we will be ready when it’s green light time!

In the meantime, we highly encourage everyone to sign up to our direct email Newsletters and move away from relying on social media for news of events like PURR, Sin City Fetish Night, Passion Portal – Enchanted Forest Party, and all our family of Restricted Entertainment events. This is the absolutely best way to make sure you don’t miss news of new events, and future dates for ticket releases!

Sign up for the Sin City Fetish Night newsletter right here at the website 😉

Sign up for the Passion Portal newsletter here —> https://mailchi.mp/628694f99443/passion-portal-newsletter-signup?fbclid=IwAR0hzI_EfI5H_l1wIbdboB6X6fq-a-zTY9g-sSX09vNEVREhyjmiMdPHZ1o

We send out notices for PURR to both newsletters, and you can easily unsubscribe at any time.

We love and miss all of you and can’t wait to get sweaty with y’all on a dancefloor as soon as we can! It’ll be Halloween before you know it!

xoxoxo and see you soon at another event down the road!

SEPT 23 – TICKET UPDATE

News posted September 23, 2021 / No Comments

UPDATE / SEPT 23 :

Hello everyone! A huge thank you to our extended Restricted Entertainment community of family and friends for the crazy support, excitement and enthusiasm for all our Halloween weekend events! Sin City sold out in just a few hours on the day of ticket release, Passion Portal shortly thereafter by the end of the day, and while there are still tickets for our Coffin Club party on October 31, those are going quickly as well! We have an amazing cross-section of creative, weird and wonderful people geared up to celebrate the weekend on all three days of the festival!

There’s still lots of questions and unknowns for attendees, venues and event organizers alike as we move forward through these wild times. There are an unbelievable amount of things which all have to be co-ordinated exactly right for events like these to happen, and while everyone is doing their best, no one can 100% predict for sure what the future holds, and all we can do is plan for the best, but be prepared for whatever outcome happens. Thank you for your patience, support and understanding as we do our best to bring everything needed together to make the events happen, in a way that is transparent and safe for our communities.

OVERVIEW :

We are currently still in Phase 3 of the BC Reopening Plans, which currently means no dancing inside, seated, no mingling between tables, limited capacity, masks etc. Phase 4 will be when indoor dancing becomes permitted, masks become optional, and capacity is increased for indoor events. The date of Sept 7 was given as the earliest date the province would move to Phase 4, but this has been delayed due to the still ongoing persistent high new daily case counts.

As of October 24, it will become mandated that all attendees of indoor events will have to provide proof of double vaccination. The province has indicated they will give further information as to the reopening plans by this date. The general assumption is that indoor events will essentially be permitted to move to Phase 4 at this point. While we would hope for more information earlier rather than later, this is not guaranteed, and we are currently in a holding pattern waiting for more news. When a further news bulletin from the province arrives, it could be many things : no change, everything still closed, or, open, but with capacity restrictions, or, open fully with no restrictions. We must all be prepared for the possibility of any of these things to happen, though of course we are all planning for things to re-open.

The events will only be proceeding if dancing and mingling is permitted with masks optional. If these things are still not permitted by Halloween weekend, the events will be postponed / cancelled, and tickets refunded.

“WILL THERE BE MORE TICKETS RELEASED?”

We are currently at 50% of the capacity of the venue sold out for Sin City & Passion Portal. There are still tickets available for Coffin Club. These are all the tickets we can currently release at this time for the Passion Portal and Sin City parties. We are monitoring all news releases from the Province carefully, and if there is a green light that we can open at a higher capacity, more tickets will be released immediately. We highly recommend signing up to the Newsletters for Passion Portal and Sin City and not relying on social media for news of more tickets becoming available.

“ARE THERE ANY TICKETS IN STORES?”

No. All tickets are online only. There are no printed physical tickets. Beware of scammers!

“WILL WE BE ALLOWED TO DANCE?”

The event will only be proceeding if dancing is allowed, so yes.

“WILL WE HAVE TO WEAR MASKS?”

The event will only be proceeding if masks are optional and not required, so, no.

“WILL WE HAVE TO STAY SEATED AT A TABLE?”

The event will only be proceeding if mingling is allowed, so, no.

“WILL I BE REQUIRED TO SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION?”

Yes. By the time of Halloween, all legal indoor venues and businesses hosting social gatherings will be required by government mandate and health orders to have all attendees provide proof of double vaccination, and photo ID. You can find out more about vaccine policies here : https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/covid-19/vaccine/proof

“I’M COMING FROM OUTSIDE B.C., WHAT DO I USE FOR VACCINE PROOF?”

As per the weblink listed above, people from other Canadian provinces or territories must show :

– Provincially/territorially officially recognized vaccine record
– Valid government photo ID

“HOW DO I REQUEST A REFUND OR TICKET TRANSFER?”

This is handled by the venue’s ticketing team. Please direct ticket change emails to :

ticketing@themrggroup.com

We know it’s mentally exhausting dealing with the uncertainty surrounding events at this time – we feel this and are doing everything we can to get back to large-scale in-person events as soon as humanly possible. We remain committed to doing so safely, with the prime directive being to bring the community together again to celebrate our diversity and collectively participate in the joy of self-expression in an encouraging, inspiring and accepting atmosphere!

BLOCK PARTY – THANK YOU!

News posted August 16, 2021 / No Comments

A huge and heartfelt THANK YOU from our whole team at Restricted Entertainment and Sin City Fetish Night to everyone who helped out with and attended our kinky Pop-Up Block Party!

After not seeing everyone for a year and a half, we knew we needed to put together a social re-connection event where people could get back out and start to expand their bubbles, but in a way that would feel relaxed and comfortable given all the extraordinary circumstances regulating how, when and where we can gather! We are absolutely thrilled at how well everything came together ❤

The weather and our location turned out frankly PERFECTLY for the event! The space was central but also semi-private and really felt like our own enclave where we could express ourselves out in the sunlight and open air. Gigantic thank you to The Narrow for working with us to create our space around the anchor point of their patio and back lot – and an even bigger thank you for all tasty slushy drinks and food served up to our thirsty, hungry Sinners! The staff were accommodating to us in every way and we are beyond thankful for all the extra touches they brought to our pop-up event.

Massive thank yous to Brian, Shea, and Marc, for helping out in the days leading up to the event, throwing fresh coats of paint on our pop-up production gear, helping fabricate a long table for the central gathering space, running a hundred feet of network cable so we could connect the DJs and the event to our online community and keep it accessible to those who were not able to attend in person! You wouldn’t believe how much background work went into preparing the space for our gathering!

Big thank you to all the people who pitched in at the end to help pack up!

Huge thank yous to our DJ crew, reunited for the first time in a year with Kasey Riot joining myself (DJ Pandemonium) and Evilyn13 for a huge variety of dirty beats!

MASSIVE thank you to Dangerous Goods, who brought down and provided one of their gorgeous spanking benches for the party, and to Switch Kitchen for hosting the spanking area!

Extra thank you’s to Nav and Pika, our front of house check-in and security staff, who came out on short notice and made everyone feel so comfortable and taken care of, right on arrival!

Thank you to everyone who tuned in and partied along remotely with us, connected via our Restricted Entertainment channel on Twitch! There were on average 200-300 people tuned in from all over the world, enjoying the DJs, music, vibe, and online chat!

But most of all THANK YOU to everyone who came out IN THE GLORIOUS FLESH to say hello and hang out!

We know we’ve all developed habits of avoiding groups of people for the last year and as the restrictions lift and this becomes safe and permitted again (under certain guidelines to follow health regulations of course!), it can cause some anxiety as we re-train our brains to feel it’s OK! The amount of people never exceeded about 2/3 of the capacity of the space and there was always lots of room to spread out, and everyone was very comfortable keeping whatever distance they needed. To see everyone so happy to see each other, but also being so understanding and respectful of people’s space and needs, is what our fetish community is all about.
MASSIVE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DRESSED UP KINKY! Leather, latex, harnesses and much more were on full display, meshed perfectly with people who chose to come casual, everyone hanging out together and having a great time. HOT DAMN WE ARE A SEXY BUNCH!

We loved seeing you all and can’t wait to do it again!

We are crossing our fingers that we get another weekend before the summer is over where the weather will allow us to have another gathering!

In the meantime, this week we have another VERY exciting event announcement for one of our biggest events of the year.

Make sure you are signed up to the Sin City Newsletter to stay in touch!

Social media (and ESPECIALLY Facebook) -actively- throttles any content they determine to have any “sexual content”. This applies to almost all fetish events. Facebook is quite frankly the WORST place to rely on for news of fetish events. The absolute best way to stay in touch with your kink community is through being subscribed directly to their Newsletters and emailouts, where we can all be our unfiltered selves.

We hope you all have a glow and a smile on as big as ours right now!
