DURING THE FESTIVAL
Tickets & Consent

CONSENT PASS
Anyone with a Level 2 consent pass may be given a Playsure wristband.
TICKETS
Scan guests' tickets and remind them of our main rules:
1. RAISE A HAND
Raise the palm of your hand to deny a request, advancement, or to stop an action already in
motion. No reason is required when raising a hand, so do not ask for one.
2. INTOXICATION = NO PLAY
Anyone interacting sexually with someone noticeably intoxicated will be removed from site with no refund.
3. NO GLASS
Naked In The Trees is on a working farm and horse training ground so we are very strict on there being no glass on site.
4. LEAVE NO TRACE
Please be tidy Kiwis and take home everything you bring to site. Please also leave the land as
you found it.... ie. we'd love all rocks, trees and treasures (outside of our Treasure Hunt) to be
left as you found them.
5. NO PHOTOGRAPHY
We have official event photographers that understand our consent rules.
