✧ MAP & SCHEDULE ✧
Scroll to the bottom & save.
The Vampire Ball spans 9 zones across 2 massive warehouse buildings, 2 floors, and their adjoining courtyard. The 2nd floor rooms tend to hit capacity early.
✧ COSTUMES ✧
All costumes welcome EXCEPT: Native-American Headdresses (‘War Bonnets’); blackface and weapons are strictly prohibited.
✧ VAMPIRIC CODE OF CONDUCT ✧
On our holiest night of our year, we call on you to rise above the messy rituals of the living and carry yourself to the highest degree of kindness and grace at our most esteemed Ball.
Respect one another. Bring your best self. Behave with beauty. Drink more water. Pace yourself. Look after your Coven. Ask first before you bite or touch.
Welcome all to our Ball. If you come across a Vampire who appears to have imbibed too much blood, show them the ways of our code and be magnanimous & gracious - even lend a helping hand. We are all in this together.
✧ WHEN IT GETS CROWDED ✧
Be mindful that the Ball will be quite full between 11pm-2am. Behave with beauty and take your time when moving between stages. Shoving & pushing is lowly human behavior and unbecoming of a vampire. The best thing you can do is arrive before 10PM to move freely between all our spaces before they reach capacity.
✧ THE BLOOD RAVE ✧
Find the Blood Rave experience in the CVLTVS House of Pain between 10:30PM - 3:30AM. To partake, walk up to the entrance of the activation and receive a wristband with a specific time to return. Read our extensive Blood Rave FAQ before participating: vampireball.nyc/bloodrave
✧ BLOODTHIRSTY STRIPPERS ✧
Bring Cash to tip our dancers. There is no ATM on the premises. Find the Bank in the Fangtasia room to exchange large bills for singles. Never touch a dancer without getting consent first. Final reminder: bring cash to tip the dancers.
✧ PHOTOS ✧
Put your phone away and be present. Visit the photobooths in CVLTVS / Blood Rave, or behind the stage of the Titty Twister Cabaret, to capture your look for the night. We will email photos to all attendees next week after they are delivered by photographers.
✧ FOOD & DRINKS ✧
We have everything you need to imbibe and refuel. Find food in the courtyard. Outside food & drinks are prohibited.
All bars operate on a cashless system. We use reusable cups for drinks to cut down on plastic waste. Reuse your cup for all drinks to avoid a $2 fee on additional cups.
✧ BAG POLICY ✧
Large bags & backpacks are not allowed unless they are completely clear. Bags will be searched upon arrival.
✧ COAT CHECK ✧
Secure your coats & belongings at automatic coat check lockers. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
✧ SECURE YOUR VALUABLES ✧
Phone theft is a known issue at all NYC venues. Be vigilant about securing your phone at all times in a secure front compartment that only you have access to.
✧ CELEBRATE SAFER ✧
Be aware of your own intake and check in with yourself. Look after your Coven. Emergency water is available at the Info Booth. Our EMTs are friendly, professional, & non-judgmental. Please come find them (marked on the map) if you need help.
