You have heard about Mandy.

A friend of a friend swears she turned a SoMa warehouse inside out last summer. Someone else is certain she never left. Nobody has her number.

On July 18, the search ends.

ABOUT THE NIGHT

MANDY is a queer underground warehouse rave. One night, two massive dancefloors, one SoMa warehouse. Doors at 11pm, music until 8am. This is a room built by and for the queer community.

Two floors, two moods, programmed so you never have to choose between them for long. Trust us, it's gonna be c*nt.

SLIDING SCALE TICKETS

Nobody should miss this over money. The entry tier is sliding scale, which means you choose what you pay, anywhere from $20 to $60.

Pick the price that is honest for you. $20 if money is tight, no questions asked and no proof needed. $35 is the standard rate. $60 is the solidarity rate, and choosing it directly funds someone else getting in at $20.

This model only works if people who can pay more actually do. If that is you, take the solidarity rate and hold the door open for someone else.

WHERE YOUR TICKET GOES

We want you to see what you are paying for. Putting on a two-floor warehouse rave at this scale costs around $119,000. The rough breakdown:

Sound, lighting and production: about 22%
DJs and performers: about 20%
Venue and permits: about 14%
Security, medical and safety crew: about 14%
Bar and operations: about 17%
Promo, equipment and a contingency reserve: about 13%

Bar sales help carry part of that load, which is part of how we keep the entry tier as low as $20. MANDY runs on razor-thin margins. This is a labor of love, not a payday. Your ticket pays for a real sound system, a properly staffed safer space, and artists who are paid fairly.

A SAFER SPACE

MANDY is a safer space, and we mean it. Racism, transphobia, homophobia, harassment and predatory behavior will get you removed, no debate. Look after the people around you.

On site you will find trained welfare and medical staff, free water, a cooling and chill-out area, and harm reduction support. If you have access needs, message us before the night and we will make a plan with you.

THE DOOR

This is a tough door, and we are not sorry about it. A ticket gets you to the front of the line, not automatically through it. Show up overly intoxicated, creepy, shady, rude, or stuck up, and you will be turned away, ticket in hand or not, and there are no refunds. Do not be the person who loses their money at the door.

To be clear, door decisions are made on one thing and one thing only: conduct. Not your look, not your outfit, not who you came with, not how you identify, not how you dance. Just whether you are going to be good to the people around you. Mandy is a space for everyone to enjoy themselves free of judgment and scrutiny, and we guard that atmosphere at the door so it never gets broken inside. Come correct, come kind, and you have nothing to worry about.

PHONES AWAY

No phones. All night. Keep it in your pocket and stay in the room with the rest of us. No filming, no photos, no scrolling on the floor. Get caught with your phone out and you will be asked to leave. Consider this your fair warning. What happens on the dancefloor stays on the dancefloor.
