How can I attend Research?

At Research we prioritize safer spaces on our dance floors. To make sure that folks are on board with that mission, there is a simple process to become a community member. Once you are a community member, you can buy tickets for Research. Membership is free. Here's how this works...

Step 1: Complete a Membership Request

You can do so here. This should only take a few minutes.

Step 2: Wait To Hear From Us

Give us at least a few days before we get back to you via email (and/or SMS). If we don't have any announced events on the horizon, this will take longer. Sometimes our emails end in spam, so search for "Research Seattle" in your email.

Step 3: Reset Your Password

You'll receive an email or SMS message from us. Once you've reset your password (use the same email that you used when you submitted your membership request), check your email inbox for a message from us to set a new password, then buy tickets! Have no fear, it'll be much smoother the next time you want to buy tickets.

If you’re already a Research member, just login to your account.

Community Guidelines

We want Research to be a comfortable, safe place for everyone. These are behaviors that are not allowed…

  • Non-Consensual Touching
  • Racist, Homophobic, Transphobic, Sexist or other Discriminatory Language
  • Leering / Gawking / Creepy Staring
  • No weapons or violence or any type of threatening behavior
  • Ignoring signage regarding restricted areas + vandalizing the space

Also...

  • Please be conscious of other people's space.
  • Pace yourself and know your limits. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Stay hydrated.
  • For the sake of the vibe, 📵 don't use your phone or take pictures on/around the dancefloor. Try to keep chatter to a minimum on the dancefloor as well. There are plenty of places to hang out and chat.
  • If you think it's kosher to ask the DJ for a song request, you're in the wrong place. 👽
  • Leave glow toys at home. This happened once, so that's why we're putting it down here.

🚨 Failure to comply with these rules may result with you being banned from future Research events.

🚨 If you bring a guest that doesn't abide by our Safer Space Policy, you and your guest will be banned.

Why do I need to fill out a request to buy tickets?

Research is a semi-private community of like-minded dancers. This is part our effort to create a comfortable, safe environment. It's rare that someone doesn't comply with our safer space policy and we have to bounce/ban someone. If it does happen, this system helps ensure that they're not allowed into future events. In addition, this approach helps to ensure that those who attend are fully aligned with our mission.

Can I tell my friends about Research?

If you can vouch for them, of course! If you bring a guest that doesn't abide by our safer space policy, you may be banned from attending Research.

Each account can only purchase two tickets per event.

How much are tickets?

"The most affluent 20% of Seattle households — roughly 69,000 of the city’s 344,600 households — had an average income of $345,000 in 2020. The least affluent 69,000 households averaged about $18,800 — an extremely small amount in a city with one of the highest costs of living."
- The Seattle Times

Although our events often operate on thin margins, we believe that no should be turned away for a lack of funds. At our events, we offer a tiered ticketing system with prices that typically range from $25 to $40. If you're down with the cause and have the financial means, leave a tip at checkout.

Is the price out of your budget?

Send us an email with your full name, whether you need 1 or 2 tickets, and how much you'd be able to pay.

Ticket Exchanges

While we can't guarantee refunds, if you are no longer able to make it you may transfer your ticket to another approved Research member. If you are transferring, please email us by 8 PM the day of Research.

If you don't know anyone you can transfer your ticket to, send us an email at researchseattle1@gmail.com and we will try to resell your ticket.
