Any questions?

How do I purchase my GradBall ticket?

You can only buy your tickets through this webpage or the Guild of Students app. Simply click ‘Log in’ in the top right hand corner of this page, then follow the links to buy your GradBall tickets.

REMEMBER: YOUR TICKET WILL ONLY BE HELD FOR 15 MINUTES IN YOUR SHOPPING BASKET BEFORE BEING RELEASED AGAIN FOR SALE. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT QUICKLY!

I’m having problems paying – what should I do?

First, make sure you're typing in the correct card details - it's easy to forget whether the bank has your home or term-time address. Make sure you enter the address you registered your card to, and not just where you happen to be living now. The most common problem we had last year was ticket buyers being told they had "insufficient authorisation" because their address details didn’t match those held by their bank. Check and double check what you're inputting. If that doesn't solve the problem, send us an email to website@guild.bham.ac.uk and we'll do our best to help you. You'll make it easy for us by including your full name, student number AND a screenshot of your problem.

When can you help me with a problem?

Remember, although we can check email and social media during office hours, we aren’t able to respond at all hours of the night! Please bear with us and don’t expect an immediate response if, for example, it’s 2am in the morning. We will be able to provide support on Tuesday 2nd May until 9pm, and then 9am -5pm for the rest of the week.

Can non-UOB students attend?

Yes, but only as guests of UOB students. If you’d like to bring a guest, you’ll need to ensure they have proof-of-age I.D. (over 18s only!) and that you accompany them throughout the night.
