Tickets

Tickets go on general sale from 5pm on Wednesday 7 May. They always sell out quickly, so you're going to want to buy yours fast to avoid disappointment.

Right here on the Guild Tickets website. All you need to do is select your chosen tickets within the ticket windows.

You can buy up to four tickets, however this doesn't apply to priority passes.

Priority Pass holders are only eligible for priority access to one ticket. Priority Pass holders can buy extra tickets on general sale.

Cost of Living is a huge priority for us, so we have matched last year's ticket prices, offering the same incredible experience without the extra cost. 

Our Standard ticket costs £49 and our Plus (After Party) ticket costs £59. We have a limited number of Super & Early Bird tickets available, with prices starting from just £39! (subject to availability)

General

We will be taking over campus to bring you a fantastic party – the only way to celebrate the end of the year!

There will be awesome tunes, fairground rides, karaoke, street food and more! Plus, if you get our Grad Ball Plus After Party ticket, you’ll gain access to our amazing club night at the Guild, so you can dance into the early hours with your friends.

Yes! Fairground rides are included within the price of your ticket.

Grad Ball is open to everyone. We know from previous years that the majority of tickets are purchased by graduating students, however as students are able to bring a non-UoB guest or a friend from another year, we’re unable to restrict tickets to only the graduating class.

In a word: FANCY. Get your black ties and glam dresses at the ready, and prepare for the red-carpet treatment!

You can bring a guest, you'll just need to purchase an additional ticket once they go on general sale. Guests must attend with the ticketholder / UoB student as tickets are purchased with your Student ID.
