Founder's Calling - Student Tickets
Fancy watching Sigma (DJ Set), Example and Karen Harding perform for just £37.50? Now is your chance!
Big news, Summer Ball (Thursday 2 June) has now officially sold out - if you were holding off on buying tickets and you're gutted you've missed out, we've got some news that should hopefully cheer you up...
Founder’s Calling, just two days later on Saturday 4 June, gives you the chance to experience the Founder's festival experience - just on a smaller scale at an event open to the general public - or live it all again if you bagged a Summer Ball ticket and fancy doubling down on your Summer Celebrations. Sigma (DJ Set), Example, and Karen Harding are taking over Founder’s South Quad for one night only, and you can now live your best life with these spectacular acts for just £37.50.
"£37.50?!" we hear you say – if you're wondering why the price has been slashed, we've had to make a few changes to the event. In short, Summer Ball is a longer event with more stages and activities, and cheaper drinks (bar prices are more expensive at Founder’s Calling due to the fact it is open to the general public). That being said, we're working hard to bring you a night you won't forget!
Why are tickets only £37.50?
Facing difficulties with the current labour market and staffing the event, we have had to make a couple of changes to the event to ensure that it can still go ahead:
- The physical footprint of the event has been reduced with the North Quad of Founder’s Building being removed. This means the event will take place across South Quad and Founder’s Square. Stage timings have been altered to ensure that all artists previously scheduled to perform on the Big Top move to the Festival Stage (South Quad) or the Square Stage (Founder’s Square).
- The length of the event has been reduced to 8pm-4am (previously 8pm-6am).
In just a couple of weeks, the likes of Katie Kittermaster, Sick Trumpet, and more are making their way to Egham. And if that wasn’t enough, RuPaul’s Drag Race favourites Cheryl Hole, Vanity Milan and Danny Beard are also joining us! If you still need convincing, you can check out the full line-up - it's going to be a brilliant night as we also welcome back our alumni who missed out on Summer Ball over the past couple of years.

Buy your ticket
Everyone is welcome at Founder's Calling, including the general public, so we've had to use an external website which incurs a booking fee. We don't want our students to miss out on the fun and know that every penny counts so we're pleased to say that you can now buy your ticket through this page and save yourself the pesky booking fee!
Identification
You must bring photographic proof of age ID (driving licence, passport, PASS card) to the event for identification purposes.

All sales are final, and refunds are not available on tickets once they have been purchased (including duplicates or purchases made in error, tickets bought for the wrong event or non-attendance due to personal choice, illness or injury).
Transfers
Your student College card and tickets are not transferrable – i.e. you cannot lend them to anyone else to get into the venue.
