Ticket information
Students - £20 advance / £25 on the door
Guests - £42 advance only (no guest tickets available on the door). Tickets sold as a £14 'student + guest' ticket that must be bought through a student account.
Advance tickets will be available to purchase online until 8pm on the night of the event.
Bringing guests to the SU
Current Royal Holloway students are permitted to bring one guest to SU Venue events. These tickets must be purchased in advance of the event and you will need to sign in your guest on the door from 2pm.
Your guest will need to arrive with you at the event and bring their own photographic proof of age ID. It’s also important to be aware that you are responsible for your guest's behaviour while they are in the venue and may be given a sanction should they break the code of conduct.
Admission
Tickets will guarantee you entry to the event until 11pm, after this time entry will be dependent on venue capacity until last entry at midnight. Rentry will only be allowed until 10pm.
Identification
E-tickets are your ticket to the event and you'll need to have this with you to get into the venue. If you have purchased a student ticket, we may ask to see your Student ID Card*.
Alongside this, you'll need to bring photographic proof of age ID (driving licence, passport, PASS card) which will be cross-referenced against your enrolment information.
*It’s a requirement to have your Student ID Card with you when you attend Students’ Union events and we’ll ask to see this when you enter our venues. However, during the first two weeks of term, we know that the process and production of Student ID Cards can take time which may mean you don’t have yours for the start of Freshers’ Festival.
Until Friday 4 October, we will accept a couple of alternatives that prove your student status: Proof of enrolment by producing your Campus Connect Profile on your phone or an official Royal Holloway letter which shows your Student ID Card Number and full name.
Event tickets
When you purchase a ticket, you'll receive two emails. The first is your receipt of payment - we won't need to see this but you may wish to keep it as it includes your reference number. Your e-ticket will follow as a PDF in a separate email - you'll need to show us this on the door so we can scan you in. We advise you to lock your screen in portrait mode and turn up the brightness to make scanning easier. If you don't have access to a mobile device, we kindly ask that you print your e-ticket.
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 Student ID Card and tickets are not transferrable – i.e. you cannot lend it to anyone else to get into the venue.
Accessibility
As your Students' Union, we're keen to promote equality of opportunity for people with disabilities and to take the necessary steps to meet their requirements - that's why we've ensured that everything we do is accessible to as many of you as possible.
All of our venues are wheelchair accessible via shallow ramps; you can find out more about our venues and view our AccessAble pages by heading to our Accessibility page.
If you or someone you know requires access to special facilities, please email venues@su.rhul.ac.uk and our friendly team will do their best to meet your needs.
