FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

GENERAL QUESTIONS

What is Glittergasm Events?

Glittergasm Events, LLC is an event company based in Philadelphia for the LGBTQ+ Community.

Our two reoccurring events are our play parties, Rainbowgasm and Glowgasm (formerly Glittergasm). The events are the same, but the demographics they serve are different. For details, click the "What is Glowgasm?" and "What is Rainbowgasm?" boxes below.

Additionally, Glittergasm Events also hosts other community events as well on occasion. The demographics for these events will always be stated, and "public" events welcome guests who are not members as well.

Please note that for accessibility reasons, ALL our events (indoors & outdoors) have a fragrance-free policy. For further details, please read the "Why is there a fragrance-free/fragrance awareness policy?" FAQ question below.

Who runs Glittergasm Events?

Who are Glittergasm Event's Events For?

Glittergasm Events caters to the whole LGBTQ+ community, and for some public community events we welcome GGE member's families, friends, and other loved ones. If you're questioning whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community, then we consider you to be part of it already and welcome you at our events. Our play parties differ in demographics, and you can read more about that under the "What is Glowgasm" and "What is Rainbowgasm" sections below.

We love and support our Glittergasm Events community members. As such, we are tasked with creating a space that is encouraging, and not only feels safe but is safe. We reserve the right to approve, deny, withdraw, and modify membership for all individuals. We will never discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, family or marital status, or disability.

With this in mind, we do not allow law enforcement as Glittergasm Events members, or to attend events outside of their official and legal capacity as law enforcement. We do not, at this time, foresee a situation where police would be needed in an official capacity, however, we may be bound by local laws or venue requirements with regards to security, and we will make attendees aware of these requirements in advance.

Where are Glittergasm Events held?

We have multiple venues for our events in the Philadelphia, PA region. For safety reasons, we often do not share the venues until a ticket has been purchased. For those who have purchased a ticket, the address is listed on your email confirmation.

Our events work well at smaller venues and house parties. If you'd like to bring Glittergasm Events to your area, please reach out to hello@glittergasmevents.com discuss how to make that happen!

What does being a Glittergasm Events Member entail?

Being a Glittergasm Events member means that you've filled out our vetting form and are eligible to attend events. Membership is completely free and only members will have access to event details and links to purchase tickets.

Once you join Glittergasm Events and fill out our vetting form, you'll be provided a link to join our private Facebook Group, to join our mailing list, or both. You must be part of the facebook group or the mailing list to receive the link to purchase tickets. We encourage folks to join our Facebook Group and be a part of the vibrant Glittergasm Events community.

Overview of the Vetting Process

All attendees of Glittergasm Events must go through the vetting process. Once you've completed this process you're considered a Glittergasm Events "Member." There is no cost to be a member, it simply means you have been vetted.

OUR VETTING PROCESS:

1) Fill out our vetting form, which can be found here. To ensure you are vetted efficiently, please make sure to answer all questions thoroughly and accurately follow instructions on our form.

2) We will review all vetting applications in a batch before our next upcoming event.

3) If there are no follow-ups required, we will then add approved members to our mailing list, and they will receive a "Welcome to Glittergasm Events" email. At the bottom of this email, and all of our emails, is a list of upcoming events and a link to our Discord Server. We STRONGLY recommend all members join our Discord for community and to plan play.

4) For those requiring follow-ups, we will reach out. The reasons for follow up emails, generally, are errors in the application, needing someone to expand on their answers regarding to consent, and to verify someone is who they say they are.

We will make 2 attempts to reach you at the email you applied from, roughly 2 weeks apart. The faster people respond, the more quickly they will be vetted. If we do not receive a response to either email, we will consider you denied, but you may reapply in the future. You will not receive any further follow up emails after the second attempt to reach you.

If you have further questions regarding vetting, you can email us at hello@glittergasmevents.com.

What are you looking for in your vetting process?

• During vetting we may ask for other data, however, we are primarily looking to confirm:
1) That all members are over 18 years old.
2) That our attendees self-identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community (this absolutely includes folks who are questioning or unsure of their orientation/gender).
3) That all members have a thorough understanding of consent

• Things we do not look for:
We do not police gender or determine if people are "queer enough" to attend. If you feel this is the right space for you, you are welcome.

How long does it take to hear back after I fill out the vetting form?

Glittergasm Events is run by two people who both have multiple other responsibilities and jobs. In order to balance these responsibilities, we go through all the vetting form applications for membership in batches depending on when we have upcoming events, and do not review vetting forms on a rolling basis.

The amount of time it takes to hear back depends on our upcoming events. We go through all applications prior to announcing our next private event, which means if we're on a hiatus and have not been hosting events, it may take some time to get a response.

If we have an upcoming event, expect vetting to take about two weeks, but we strongly recommend applying a month before an event you'd like to attend. We do our best to make sure everyone gets a chance to buy tickets before they sell out, but if you think you might like to attend our events in the future, we encourage you to fill out the vetting form now so you get ticket access when tickets become available.

We stop reviewing incoming vetting forms SEVEN DAYS before our next event, or when tickets sell out. If you fill out the vetting form less than one week before an event, you likely will not receive any information until the following event.

Please give two weeks before emailing regarding vetting. Emails received before that time frame may not receive a response. We are unable to respond to most emails sent within 48 hours of an event, and will reply the following week.

Do I need to fill out the vetting form every time I want to attend an event?

No. Once you're a member, unless you're notified otherwise or request your information be removed, you are still a Glittergasm Events member. In specific situations we may reach out to ask you to fill out the vetting form again, generally because we require updated information.

If you have received a Welcome to Glittergasm Events email, receive ticket links via email, or have access to our private social media (our Facebook Group or Discord), you are already a member and are vetted.

If you are unsure if YOU are vetted, please contact us at hello@glittergasmevents.com before purchasing your ticket. We do not share information with partners or friends, so you must be the person to reach out and ask.

How will I know if I've been approved as a member?

You will receive our "Welcome to Glittergasm Events" email. At the bottom of this email, and our all emails, is a link to upcoming events and a link to join our Discord server.

We recommend all members join our Discord server, however, it is optional, however, you must either receive our emails OR be a member of our Discord to access tickets as those are the only two ways to access ticket links.

We tend to get a rush of new member requests prior to upcoming events, and often in an effort to make tickets available as quickly as possible, new members sometimes receive emails with our ticket links before they receive the "Welcome to Glittergasm Events" email. If you have received the ticket link from us, either via access to the Discord server or from our mailing list, it means you've been approved as a member.

Please give two weeks before emailing regarding vetting. Emails received before that time frame may not receive a response.

Why did you request to follow me on Instagram?

We want to verify that you are a real-life human. In lieu of other social media, or if you have very new social media accounts we may ask for access to another account to verify you're real.

Once you receive your "Welcome to Glittergasm" email, you're welcome to remove us from your followers.

If you are uncomfortable allowing our @GlittergasmEvents account follow you on Instagram or any other requested platform, please email us at safety@glittergasmevents.com, and we can follow you from one of your co-hosts family-friendly personal accounts temporarily.

I'm a member—what now?

Our members have the option to get access to event details and ticket links in two different ways— through our Facebook Group or our mailing list.

Depending on what you selected when filling out the vetting form, you indicated if you wanted just one of those options or both.

FACEBOOK GROUP:
If you want to be in the Facebook group (which we recommend)—you must also join that group manually (you will not be automatically added). You can join our group here.

It will ask for a password, which you were provided at the end of filling out your vetting form. If you've forgotten the password, write that you've filled out the vetting form in the form field when you join the group instead.

MAILING LIST:
To ensure that only folks who have filled out the vetting form are able to attend events, we add new members to the mailing list manually (meaning you're not automatically added to the mailing list). We add names to this list in batches, so depending on when you sign up it may take a bit for you to receive your first email from us.

We ALWAYS add new people more rapidly prior to events to give everyone a chance to get tickets. If you think there's been an error and you never received any emails from us, please reach out and let us know.

NOTE: Everyone who attends an event, even if someone has purchased a ticket on your behalf, MUST also fill out our vetting form—at least 7 days before the event—or they will not be allowed entry.

I can't remember if I'm already a member?

We're working on setting up a way for people to be able to check their member status for themselves, but in the meantime:

If you received a "Welcome to Glittergasm Events" email, receive ticket links via email, and/or have been accepted to our Facebook Group or Discord server—you are already vetted. You can access ticket links via the email or the GG Events Facebook group.

If you're still unsure, email us at hello@glittergasmevents.com and we'll check for you.

Can I invite people or bring a friend?

Yes, absolutely!!! Our events cater to different demographics (see the "What is Glowgasm" and "What is Rainbowgasm" tabs for details), however as long as someone is a good fit for an event, we'd love to had them.

However, ALL attendees of our private events must be vetted. If you bring a friend they also must fill out the vetting form to be allowed entry, even if you are purchasing their ticket. Please send your guest(s) this link to follow our sign up process, which allows them to attend and will give them access to information about all future events.

For events that state they are "public," you do not need to be vetted to attend.

How far in advance should non-members fill out the vetting form to attend an upcoming event?

We recommend filling out our Vetting Form as soon as possible, however, we stop vetting new members SEVEN days before upcoming events. That said, most of our events sell out, and there is no guarantee that any tickets will be available, and if tickets sell out we may stop vetting new members until just before the next event is announced.

If you fill out the vetting form less than one week before an event, you will likely not receive any information until the following event. We go through all the vetting form applications for membership in batches depending on when we have upcoming events, and do not review vetting forms on a rolling basis.

We try to go through all applications prior to announcing our next private event, which means if we're on a hiatus and have not been hosting events, it may take some time to get a response.

A gentle reminder: Please be patient with us. Glittergasm Events is run by two disabled, neurodivergent individuals with full-time jobs and full-time lives. Sometimes you may receive a response quicker than expected, and other times it may take a bit longer, especially when we're receiving a large number of vetting requests.

Do I Have to bring Food if it says it's a "potluck"?

Most of our events are potlucks. It helps us provide food while keeping event costs low and accessible for the community, and we deeply appreciate it when folks bring something to contribute—however, it's not required! The only thing you need to bring is you!

If you do bring food, please bring a list of ingredients to put next to your dish so folks can more easily avoid any foods they may have allergies or sensitivities too!

Why do you need a photo of my ID?

What do your ratings (G, PG-13, R, Kink) mean?

We use a ratings system both to give information about what you an expect at our events, and also to designate what's allowed where during our play parties so that folks can engage in/or even view only the activities they want to.

• G: Event may include affectionate but not sexual activities, genitals must be covered. Nipples are allowed in G-rated spaces, however this is dependent on the venue and local laws (if we're at a public venue, dress in "street legal" attire).

• PG-13: Event may include kissing, some touching, genitals must be covered. Nipples/toplessness is okay.

• R: Sex can and may be present

• Kink: Sex and Kink may be present

COVID POLICIES

COVID-19 Safety Information

The safety and health of our friends and loved ones, especially our more vulnerable community members, are and continue to be our utmost priority. With this in mind, we carefully consider our COVID precautions for each event based on a number of factors.

The specifics for each event will be in the event details on the ticket link page, however, here are some of the strategies we're using to reduce the risk of COVID at our events:

• STAY HOME IF YOU DON'T FEEL WELL:
For all events, we ask folks to stay home if they're feeling under the weather or if they've been exposed to COVID-19, and transfer your ticket to a future event for anyone who can not attend due to not feeling well or COVID exposures. Please scroll down on the FAQ page to see our full refund/cancelation policy for details.

• COVID VACCINE POLICY:

NOTICE: Please note that as of June 1, 2025, the COVID vaccine requirements will update. On and after that date, all attendees must have received a COVID vaccination after June 1, 2024.* Please plan accordingly! Folks without a vaccine after that time will not be allowed entry.

If you are getting vaccinated prior to a party, please note that our current guidelines require you to have been vaccinated 14 days prior to the event so the vaccination is fully effective.

We will also be requiring all attendees have COVID vaccines, and will be checking vaccine cards/vaccine records of your most recent COVID vaccination at ALL events. Please print a photo, screenshot, copy, printout, etc. of your most recent COVID vaccine, whether it's a vaccine card or your pharmacy/doctor's vaccine records. You will NOT be able to enter without it.

At this time we do not have HIPAA secure storage, therefore, we cannot hold a copy of your vaccine card in our storage database. Please be prepared to show your vaccine card at every event.

For any questions regarding this policy please contact access@glittergasmevents.com.

*Unless otherwise noted, on June 1, 2026, our COVID vaccine policy will update and attendees will be required to have a vaccine after June 1, 2025, and it will be updated in this fashion annually.

• MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS:
If you, for medical reasons only, are unable to be vaccinated, please reach out at access@glittergasmevents.com BEFORE purchasing your ticket to alert us to that information so that we can offer you reasonable accommodations. If you do not you will be turned away at the door without a refund.

• COVID RAPID TESTING: For all indoor events, we will be requiring COVID rapid (antigen) tests at the door, and you will not be able to enter until the test is completed. Please see "How Does COVID testing at the door work?" below for more information.

• POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL COVID HARM REDUCTION MEASURES:

- COVID precautions for outdoor events will be decided by event, based on current COVID infections, wastewater levels, and other metrics. Please see the ticket events for specific information.

- Asking our community to take extra precautions during periods of higher COVID cases, such as masking in public spaces and at indoor gatherings 5 days prior to an event.

- Adequate ventilation, air purifiers, fragrance-free disinfectant on surfaces, and Corsi-Rosenthal boxes.

We will update this moving forward with more information as decisions are made. As the COVID-19 situation is on going, we reserve the right to update our policies at anytime to ensure we can keep our community as safe as possible.

What if I test positive on a rapid COVID test at the door?

Any attendee with a positive COVID rapid test, for any reason, will be refused entry, and will be offered a transfer ticket to a future event, per our transfer ticket guidelines, if a community support or general admission ticket was purchased.

Per our ticket policies, individuals who purchased a PWYC, BIPOC, or other discounted ticket will not be refunded.

There are NO exceptions to this rule.

How does COVID rapid testing at the door work?

Community care is incredibly important to us, and as such, we have strict COVID-19 policies.

For indoor events, we will be requiring COVID rapid (antigen) tests at the door, and you will not be able to enter until the test is completed. Please plan accordingly for the time it takes for the test to develop, as well as for the current outdoor weather while you wait. We will have Glitterati at the door to help check you in and administer your the tests.

We are including the COVID antigen tests in the cost of your event ticket, so you do not need to bring a test, we will have one for you!

Please note that you will also need to show your COVID vaccine card (you can see further details about vaccine cards in the accordion above this). If someone you arrive with tests positive for COVID, you will not be allowed entry even if you test negative. If anyone is not allowed entry due to a positive COVID test, you can either get a full refund (minus platform fees) or use your ticket towards a future event.

This is a new process for us and we appreciate your patience while we work out any kinks!

Do I need to show my COVID vaccine card at every event?

Yes, you will need to show us either a photo, a photocopy, or your actual vaccine card for entry to all our events for the foreseeable future. We ask to see it at every event because we do not have HIPAA secure storage and therefore, we cannot hold a copy of your vaccine card in our storage database.

We recognize that the topic of vaccines has become a political talking point, however, we expect all Glittergasm Events members to maintain a level of community care and support.

If you, for medical reasons only, are unable to be vaccinated, please reach out BEFORE purchasing your ticket to alert us to that information so that we can offer you reasonable accommodations. If you do not you will be turned away at the door without a refund.

Please note, vaccine cards must be shown IN ADDITION to the rapid testing at the door.

I've recently had a COVID infection, what do I do about vaccines?

If you recently had a COVID infection, please follow medical guidance about when it is appropriate to receive your next vaccination.

If you have not had one within the timeframe we require, and cannot get one due to a recent COVID infection, a doctor's note would be required as a medical exemption to our COVID vaccination policies. Additionally, all attendees still need to follow our policies regarding recent covid infections and all attendees are still required to take a COVID antigen test at the door before entering.

Can I attend an event if I've had a recent COVID infection?

For individuals who have recently tested positive, we ask that you wait to attend our event until you are 10 days past the date of symptom onset, and then have received two negative rapid tests that were taken 48 hours a part in addition to the negative test at the door.

For rebound cases of COVID, we ask that you wait to attend any events until you are 10 days past the date of your first rebound COVID case symptoms, and then have received two negative rapid tests that were taken 48 hours a part in addition to the negative test at the door.

I was turned away at the door because of the COVID policies, can I get a refund?

Health, Accessibility, & Safety

Are your events wheelchair accessible?

Since we do not always host our events at the same venue, we post venue-specific accessibility information in each event description.

That said, it's been very difficult for us to find a venue, period. Turns out not everyone is interested in letting us use their venue to host queer play parties, sadly, and most of the venues we've been able to use are not entirely wheelchair accessible.

Having a wheelchair accessible event is important to us and we're actively working to find other venue options. If you know of any, please feel free to contact us.

Why is there a fragrance-free / fragrance awareness policy?

I'm glad you asked! All of our events, both indoors and out, are fragrance-free.

Although it's not a well-known issues, fragrances, or more accurately the chemicals that are used to create fragrances, can cause severe health issues for many people (studies show about 30% of people) and we aim to make our events as accessible as possible.

Both Rachael and Rebecca, your Glittergasm hosts, are two of the people who's health is severely impacted by fragrances so we take this policy very seriously.

For additional information and tips on what should be avoided, please check out this article, Accessibility: A Beginner’s Guide to Fragrance and Chemical Sensitivities.

If you do wear heavily scented products or use perfume, cologne, axe, etc. you may be sent home to change and shower before returning.

Are alcohol and/or drugs allowed at events?

No, all Glittergasm Events, including our public community events and our non-play party events, are sober spaces. Please do not bring alcohol or recreational drugs to events.

Medications are not subject to this policy and we encourage you to do what you need to in order to take care of yourself, however, we reserve to right to ask individuals to leave events if they appear to be intoxicated or under the influence. If we ask you to leave an event due to intoxication, we will call you a cab or ride share at your expense, or you will need to have someone come and retrieve you from the event.

Do I have to sign a waiver?

Tell me more about the "pay-what-you-can" option for events...

Should I bring a list of ingredients with my potluck dish?

Myself or someone in my home has bed bugs, lice, fleas or another similar transmissible infestation — can I still attend?

Thank you for being up front and honest and doing what you can to keep our community safe—we know there's a lot of stigma behind these issues, and we do not believe they should be stigmatized.

That said, due to the risk to our venue and others, we cannot allow anyone to attend our events if them or anyone in their household is currently navigating lice, bed bugs, fleas, or any similar infestations.

If you've already purchased a ticket, please email hello@glittergasmevents.com to request a transfer ticket BEFORE THE TICKETED EVENT.

Please see the "refund / cancelation policies" FAQ below specifics regarding transfer ticket requests.

I recently had mononucleosis, how long do I need to wait to attend an event?

I Have An Accessibility Question, Request, or Concern...

Given that folks can have a wide variety of accessibility needs, we recognize that accessibility is a goal and that we can always strive to make our events more accessible.

Since we do not always host our events at the same venue, we post venue-specific accessibility information in each event description.

Please feel free to contact us with any accessibility questions, requests, or concerns. We love creating spaces that as as accessible as possible. We prioritize accessibility and continually strive to make our events increasingly accessible to as many people as possible and will do our best to accommodate you.

There's someone in the community who violated consent, can I share that in the Discord?

I HAVE A SAFETY CONCERN...

OUR PLAY PARTIES

What is Glowgasm (formerly Glittergasm)?

Glittergasm will now be Glowgasm to help avoid confusion between the event we host and our business name, Glittergasm Events. Nothing about the event or it's intended demographic has changed.

Glowgasm (previously called Glittergasm) is one of the events that Glittergasm Events, LLC hosts.

Glowgasm is a party for trans women, cis women, nonbinary folks, and those of marginalized genders who feel comfortable in a femme of center space. This event tends to skew femme of center, however, we welcome our masc of center friends! This event allows individuals to interact with others of that group in a very chill way where physical touch and exploration is allowed in a safe, non-judgmental space at the comfort and speed of the folks involved. Glowgasm is not an event for cisgender men. While we do not police and will not turn away anyone, we do ask that this space is respected. No one under 18 will be permitted to attend.

Glowgasm is a "choose your own adventure" event. There are multiple levels of interaction for individuals to engage at their own comfort and pace with individuals who might be at similar levels of comfort and interaction. Please see the "Can You Tell Me More About What Happens at Events" tab for further details.

What is Rainbowgasm?

Rainbowgasm is one of the events hosted by Glittergasm Events, LLC.

Rainbowgasm is a party for queer and trans folks to interact with others of that group in a very chill way where physical touch and exploration is allowed in a safe, non-judgmental space at the comfort and speed of the folks involved. This event is intentionally designed to center queer and trans folks and while we do not police identity and will not turn anyone away, we ask that this space is respected. We ask that those who are not part of the LGBTQ+ community consider whether or not they are a good fit for this event, however we welcome those who are curious, questioning, and who might not feel they "qualify" as part of the LGBTQ+ community but want to attend. This event is open to the whole LGBTQ+ community, and cisgender men are welcome to attend.

Rainbowgasm is a "choose your own adventure" event which accommodates individuals who want to be a part of the event and energy, but aren’t comfortable with compulsory sexuality. There are multiple levels of interaction for individuals to engage at their own comfort and pace with individuals who might be at similar levels of comfort and interaction. Please see the "Can You Tell Me More About What Happens at Events" tab for further details.

Individuals will be required to sign a liability waiver and show their over 18 ID at the door.

What are your Midnight Events?

Midnight Glow and Midnight Rainbow are kink-focused versions of our original events.

Midnight Glow caters to our Glowgasm demographic, and Midnight Rainbow caters to our Rainbowgasm demographic.

As with our other events, we will hold a welcome circle, and offer multiple levels of interaction for individuals to engage at their own comfort and pace. Unlike our other events, this is a kink-specific event that will allow edgier kinks. Sex will be allowed, but is not the primary focus of the event. We will also have demo tops for those curious to try new things.

Certain kink and edge play activities require PRE-APPROVAL before the event, and may potentially require extra vetting, such as asking for references who can vouch for your relevant experience.

Please see "What kink and edge play activities are/are not permitted at your Midnight Events?" for further details about allowed activities, what requires pre-approval, and how to obtain that approval.

What kink and edge play activities are/are not permitted at your Midnight Events?

Knives/sharps with intent to break the skin°
Scarification°

*Please note this list of activities is subject to change without notice
**These activities are also permitted at Glowgasm & Rainbowgasm Events

Does Glowgasm's demographic include trans men?

We recognize that gender and identity is complicated, and that the language we have is not necessarily ideal for communicating the whole of the human experience.

Glowgasm is a dedicated space where individuals can feel free of cisgender men and the male gaze. If within your identity, you still feel a deep connection to spaces that center queer non-men, you are welcome to join us at Glowgasm. Otherwise, we welcome you to attend Rainbowgasm, where all of our members are welcome.

Can you tell me more about what happens at play parties?

Glowgasm (formerly Glittergasm) and Rainbowgasm are choose-your-own-adventure events. There are multiple levels of interaction for individuals to engage at their own comfort and pace with individuals who might be at similar levels of comfort and interaction.

• G: Event may include affectionate but not sexual activities, genitals must be covered. Nipples are allowed in G-rated spaces, however, this is dependent on the venue and local laws (if we're at a public venue, dress in "street legal" attire). This is a no sex space, where the food will be and there will be activities such as coloring, board games, a blanket fort, etc. (note: activities may vary by event)

• PG-13: Event may include kissing, some touching, genitals must be covered. Nipples/toplessness is okay. This is a fun space for make outs and cuddling, plus we'll have make out games like truth or dare and spin the bottle available for those who want to play!

• R: Sex can and may be present

• Kink: Sex and Kink may be present

We want people to be comfortable and have a good time in a space where touching is allowed, but not required. There's also a welcome circle at the beginning of each event to go over rules and help make everyone feel more comfortable!

What should I wear to an event?

What should I bring to an event?

Do I have to play, get naked, etc at these events?

Why do the doors close at a specific time and what's a welcome circle?

Having a closed door event allows us to create a more comfortable space for our guests.

After the doors close we run through a Welcome Circle where we set the mood and intentions for the evening, as well as address rules, etiquette, and where everything is—which takes around 20 minutes or so, and it's important that everyone be working with the same information.

We find that it can be hard to feel as comfortable with new people coming in and out of play parties, and that our guests enjoy an environment where everyone is a bit more familiar and that attending our welcome circle fosters a sense of community for the evening.

While we do not allow new people to join our events after the "closed door" time, guests are welcome to leave the event whenever they're comfortable and can step outside for air, etc. We want you to be comfortable and to do whatever you need to do to take care of yourselves!

What are Glitterati?

Glitterati can attend the event they will be volunteering at for free (including a COVID-19 Rapid Test), or they can choose to pay and the cost of their ticket will be added to our Glitterfund, which helps support our pay-what-you-can tickets.

TO BE A GLITTERATI:

- Expect "standard" tear-down tasks (refilling safer sex bins, emptying trash, wiping down and moving furniture/mats).
During the hour between when the doors open and the Welcome Circle, Glitterati are responsible for the following (roles to be divide among all Glitterati):
- Check guests in at the door, check ID’s and Vaccine cards, and make sure everyone has signed a liability waiver.
- Assist with COVID-19 testing and verification.
- Assist with Bingo
Engage with Glittergasm guests during the event, especially new attendees who might not know anyone yet.
- This does not necessarily mean physically. If you see someone sitting quietly or looking nervous or out of place, please check in on them.
Glitterati are our event go-to people. You can be interrupted, even during play, at any point during the event if someone requires assistance.
- Glitterati will be expected to do a few laps to check on things between 11pm-1:30am (you can play, just check on things once in a while)
- Glitterati will be expected to wrap up any play by 1:30am in order to start the tear-down process.
Glitterati are welcome to include their volunteer work on any and all resumes, and utilize Glittergasm Events, LLC as a reference.

This is an unpaid volunteer position at this time, and as such we try to make the workload reasonable. Please let us know if there is something that would require more support to navigate for you!

If you need accommodations to make being a Glitterati accessible, please contact access@glittergasmevents.com in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate!

*These responsibilities may change as the event needs change.
