🚩RED FLAG FRESHERS EVENTS 🚩 We know it can be confusing when looking what freshers events & what to buy so we have listed some red flags you should look out for:

🚩 No venues listed for event/events - Or unsuitable venues listed

🚩 No previous photos or video evidence of the event happening

🚩 Vague or nonsensical event descriptions

🚩 99p tickets listed in venues that are unsuitable

FAQ SECTION 🗣️ Can my non-university friends or partner attend? ✅ Yes they can! They will still need to have purchased their own tickets but every student is allowed 2 non-students to join them for entry. 🗣️ Why do the tickets come in different price tiers? ✅ There is only a limited amount of tickets we can sell. Therefore we operate a festival style ticketing model. The earlier you buy your ticket the cheaper it will be. 🗣️Does my ticket need to be in my name? ✅ No it doesn't, we just need to scan your barcode. However, please be cautious when buying tickets from a third party.

🗣️Where can I collect my add ons? (Portscrawl T-Shirt, LED Batons, ABBA Glasses) ✅ When you get entry into the event, simply show a member of our staff your add on ticket and you will be given these upon entry. 🗣️What ID will I need to provide on entry? ✅ You will need to show a valid driving licence, provisional driving licence or passport. This is in line with the national guidelines and nightclub entry requirements policy.
