    Speed Dating (40s - 60s) - VALENTINES EDITION

    Speed Dating (40s - 60s) - VALENTINES EDITION

    Refer Eventbrite Ticket Link, Washington, dc, US

    To secure your spot, purchase your ticket from the Eventbrite link (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/speed-dating-40s-60s-valentines-edition-tickets-1980498949672). RSVPing only on the Meetup Page doesn't allow you to attend the Event. ADVANCE TICKET PURCHASE IS REQUIRED.

    ABOUT THE EVENT

    Come meet your your VALENTINE! We have lots of success stories.

    Our Speed Dating Event is just like a happy hour. It is structured and with purpose. So, come relaxed, natural and be ready to have fun. As usual we will try to make it a low pressure event. The only huge favor we ask from you, is to be on time.

    Ticket price includes a COMPLIMENTARY DRINK (House Wine/House Beer/Rail Drinks)!

    DRESS CODE : Anything red is highly recommended.

    DATING SESSION :
    1. We mingle and socialize for the first half hour.
    2. We will give each couple 3 minutes seated interaction time.
    3. After we finish the rotation, the party continues at the cash bar (which means you pay as you go).
    4. Since we paid for the venue, it is non-refundable. However, we will refund fully if the event is cancelled.
    5. The payment secures serious and committed people and it is subject to increase.
    6. RSVP will be open up until matches between sexes evens up. However, RSVP doesn't guarantee attendance, unless you buy your ticket. We constantly update the RSVPs.
    7. If you are not able to attend you can sell your ticket to same sex.
    8. For the dating session, we seat one man across from each woman. Then, we rotate each man to the next woman, until each man has met each woman present. Please try to speak loud, since everyone would speak at the same time.
    9. After the 3 minutes time is up, you will then secretly circle yes or no on your date card depending on whether or not you would like to get to know the person you just met better.
    10. Address will be sent, to ticket holders, on day-off.
    11. This is meant to be an intimate experience and we have very limited space. RSVP soon!

    Refund and Ticket Resell Policy

    All sales are final. We only refund the full amount, if the event is canceled. If it is rescheduled, we will send an email to ticket holders advising that. A full refund will be given to those that let us know within 2 calendar days of the update email, if you are unable to make it on the new date. No refunds will be given after that time.

    However, you can sell your ticket to someone else if you are unable to attend. Please, feel free to post in the comment box for the event, that you have a ticket for sale. Work out payment between yourselves, and have the seller only send the organizer a message letting us know the full name of the person taking your spot. You must let us know two hours before the RSVP close time, on the day of the event.
