43 Couples indicated they will be attending the September Cruise (we will need 2 boats as this was for 20 couples)

10 Couples indicated they will be attending the New Years Eve Cruise (for 90 couples)

 

feedback note - some people indicated they thought the New Years Eve cruise was expensive at $695 per couple.  Consider that the cheapest hotel room we could find that gives you an unsurpassed view of the Harbour Bridge fireworks would not be less than $1200.  Add to the above that we include food, drinks and full swinging - it is an absolute bargain!  We will be introducing a 3 stage payment plan for those that wish in order to help spread the costs.

 

 

Q13.  Considering the known costs of our first Sensual Ball ($110 per ticket) do you consider $130 - $140 per ticket to be too expensive?

 

No        -    60%

Yes      -    40%

 

feedback note - at the next Sensual Ball we will have to pay GST.  Also consider that guests get free for life access to our online personals and Aussie Nudes included.  An average swingers club ranges from $110 to $150 per couple without the chance to meet so many couples ongoing fun.

 

No doubt, the costs will increase but Sensual Ball will be releasing a V.I.P Discount card to all Ball Guests to give them discount prices to future Balls as a thanks to their loyalty and acknowledgement that repeat business will reduce our massive advertising costs.   Anticipated ticket price will be $130 per couple.

TB, NSW

 

“We came with our girlfriend and were pleasantly surprised with how well it was planned even though there was a venue change.  Right from the beginning when we reserved our tickets we felt that you dealt with us on a personal level. We like how you kept us informed. It was lovely to see one of the managers greeting people at the door with a big smile.  We also like how you went through the crowd and talked to people and not just left them to it. My girlfriend and I was sitting on our own and the lady of the managers asked if we would like a drink and even took our coats to check in.  We have told all of our friends and will definitely coming to the next ball when ever it is.”

 DB, NSW

 

“Good fun night, bass music to loud All behaved extremely well and our experience is that full nudity (WE ARE NUDISTS) and sex should only be for swingers parties at discreet venues. The mix of ages and respect shown by all including staff made every one comfortable. If you must have sex and some did let them be discreet, same as having it off in public places,(can be a lot of fun).”

 C and J,  NSW

Comment

Sensual Ball Response

The drinks were too expensive!

Agreed!  We could not lower the tariff given the late notice venue change (see venue change story here).  We will ensure tariffs are much lower next time.

The Music!

We got comments from too fast, too slow, too young, too old, not enough dance, too much dance, too loud, too quiet, too much bass, not enough bass and so.......

Music always being difficult to master we will have an all comers mix before midnight, then kick into dance music after midnight

Not all the guys were wearing erotic dress

Agreed, this was disappointing - now that people have seen what a Sensual Ball dress scheme should be about, and now that our dress suggestions section has more ideas we will be strictly enforcing this rule next time around.

The Stages were too low - Not everyone could see the strip events or BODYROTIC

We will have higher stages fitted next time

The Erotic Dress Competition - People Gate Crashed the Stage to get into the comp.

We will issue tokens to nominees next time to stop people joining the finals

Too Much Talking from the MC

In future, the MC will only be used at the beginning of the Sensual Ball and to announce competition winners.  A more detailed events programme will be published.

Not enough Photos Taken for Guests

The Sensual Photographer will have his own booth set up next time but this will be a paying service for those wanting personal printed photos (photos that you let us use on the Web will be provided in electronic format free of charge)

Non Smoking Area Rule was not enforced as the evening progressed

We will announce next time that people ignoring the areas designated for non-smoking will be asked to leave the event (there was enough smoking areas)

Security - a little invasive in some areas

It was noted that the number of security staff made a few people feel uneasy and that they were playing as 'no sex' police.

Changes to NSW law requires that there is 1 guard per 100 people (we had 14 on duty).  These guards were totally unprepared for what they saw (this being the first event of its kind in Sydney) and they are more used to patrolling rowdy crowds.  

At no time were any of the couples frolicking in the quieter areas of the venue asked to stop their fun.

Our new (and permanent) venue has been advised of the above, and as such, security will be very discrete from now on. 

The Chill Out Area should be non smoking

We will have a Smokers area set up next time that are away from all public areas.

A few people were spotted using mobile phone cameras

If they were spotted they would have been removed from the event, report them next time, don't just say it after the fact, otherwise we can do nothing.

A few guys and girls were 'touching' without asking

This is the number one 'no no' at any event and regrettably represents the most ignorant end of this lifestyle.  We ask people NEVER to assume it is OK to touch others without being invited first. 

The Managers of the Ball were not in Erotic Dress

The managers did not feel it was appropriate to do so.  We wanted to stand back from the event dress so we could be more easily spotted in the crowd.  We will dress more conspicuously next time but again it will not be in the dress specified for the guests

Too Many Sex Shows breaking up the dancing

We will have non-interfering shows next time

Cloakroom needed more than two staff

We will ensure more cloak staff are allocated at peak hours.
