    As an exercise of community care, we request that all attendees take a rapid antigen test before attending. If you test positive, or test negative but have symptoms, we ask that you please stay home. If the cost of your ticket was a hardship, and you are worried about missing out due to finances, please email us. 

    Finally, if you test positive within five days after the party, please email us so we can inform attendees that an anonymous attendee has tested positive. We may also ask for a brief description of where you spent most of your time during the party. We are requesting that attendees take this extra step with us so we can continue to keep our community safe and ensure that those who need this information are informed of their risk of transmission.

    We know that our BBB community is a loving one on the side of care and disability justice. Thank you so much for your willingness to look out for one another during a pandemic that especially impacts our community.

  • The ticket price is $80, and our ticket tiers are $40, $80, and $100. 

    Bigger Bodies Boston is dedicated to financial accessibility, particularly for the most marginalized members of our community. Approximately a third of the tickets for this event are available for half cost. If the full ticket price is accessible for you, we very much appreciate you reserving the subsidized tickets for those who need them. If you are able and moved to contribute a little extra, any top-tier ticket purchases or additional donations will allow us to add more subsidized tickets! 

    If $40 is too much for you, there are a couple of options: 

    1.  We may still need volunteers! Volunteers get free admission and will work no more than half of the party. You must be able to lift and carry. Inquire here. 

    2. We have a limited number of significantly discounted tickets available; email us if you need one! (No need to provide an explanation as to why)

  • Tickets are not refundable, but all purchased tickets (full price, half price, and philanthropic fatty) are transferable; email us to transfer.

    If you have a free ticket that you are not using, please let us know so we can offer it to someone on our waitlist.
