NEW BAE™ FAQS
(aka what you probably wanna know — straight up)

 What time do I roll in?
Doors open 6:00 PM  — come early, let a staff member know you are here for NEW BAE™ & they will show you where to go, grab your complimentary drink token from QS then come back & settle in before the dating kicks off at 6:30 PM.  

Can I get more drinks?
Absolutely. First one’s on us ( mocktail, house wine, house beer, soda, juice or tea or coffee ) then hit the bar for refills ( that ones on you). Just sip classy, not messy.

What’s in my ticket?

  • Entry to the event

  • 1x complimentary drink (valid before 6:30pm only)

  • Match card + pen

  • Live music in between breaks
  • Members discount on Food & Beverages      ( on the night only ) 
  • Your matches emailed within 24hr  (if it’s a yes yes vibe)

How do matches work?
Tick who you’re feelin on your match card. If it’s Mutual, we’ll send you their name and contact within 24hrs. No awkward DM sliding required.  If you do connect with someone on the night then, let us know via email or before you leave so we can tick you both off our match sheet! That also means we’ve done our jobby job! 

Can I come solo?
100%. Lots of people do … this space is safe, fun and judgement-free. Whether you’re shy, bold, or somewhere in between…we got you.

Can I bring a mate?
Yes  …  just make sure they grab their own ticket. We’ll mix up the rounds so you’re not dating each other, but if you do then that’s ok too! you can hang out during breaks and afterwards.

What if I don’t get any matches?
It’s all good  — you still walk away with a brand new experience, good chats and maybe some new mates. That’s still a win, or you’re absolutely welcome to come back & try again we will be here every fortnightly on Mondays! ( Register online only ) 

What if I’m late?
Try to be on time — once the dating kicks off, it's hard to sneak you in without throwing the flow. Aim for that 6:00 PM - 6:15 PM entry.

 Refunds?
Tickets are non-refundable, but you can transfer it to a friend if you email us at least 24 hours before the event.


This is dating done differently … no swiping, no filters, ghosting …just real people, real convos and real energy.

If you have any issues with our online payment system please contact Shirl’e on 021 713 153 or email qsacademy101@gmail.com she will be able to help guide you thru it.
