Usually 12 to 20, depending on the night and the city. Everyone meets everyone. Will there be equal numbers of men and women? Most of the time it is equal or nearly so. That is why tickets are sold separately for men and women, and why there are no tickets on the door. I'm going on my own. Is that OK? Most people do. Our host looks after you from the door, so nobody is left standing in a corner. I'm just outside the age range. Can I come? Most people are within the range shown, and a year or so either side is fine. People usually want to meet others of a similar age, so a night for a much younger or older crowd is unlikely to end in matches. How do matches work? The morning after, you log in and mark each person Yes, No or Friend. At 5pm you see your mutual matches and can message them. Nobody sees a No. Can a friend take my place? Yes, as long as they are the same gender as you. Ask them to tell the host they are coming in your place. Can I book for friends? Yes: choose a men's or women's ticket for each person, so the numbers stay even. We'll email you afterwards for their names and details. What happens after I book? We'll email you to confirm your details, and those of anyone you've booked for, and set up an Original Dating account for each of you. Please reply: the account is how you see your matches after the night. Can I get a refund? Tickets can't be cancelled, changed or refunded, so please check the date and time before you book.
