Not long until the big night now, for those attending have a quick read of this information for the lowdown on how to get in on the night, drinks prices and timings.
Getting in
This year we have made it easier than ever to get into the Ball. For those of you that purchased your ticket online by using your College username and password to login, you will already have the ticket stored electronically on your College ID card. If you purchased tickets for your friends as well then their tickets will also be on your College ID card.
On the night come to the Tanaka Building entrance to the College on Exhibition Road with your College ID card, we will swipe it and then give you your wristband. You will then be in the event!
YOU WILL NEED TO BRING YOUR COLLEGE ID CARD WITH YOU.
IF YOU PURCHASED TICKETS FOR YOUR FRIENDS THEN THEY WILL NEED TO ARRIVE AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU. WE CAN ONLY ALLOW ENTRY FOR YOU TOGETHER AS A GROUP IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED TICKETS FOR OTHERS.

There will be a professional photographer situated in the Senior Common Room as well as Toni & Guy stylists ready to help make those finishing touches to your hair!
We also really want you to share all the photos and videos you take on the evening. All you have to do is upload them to Flickr or YouTube tagging them with the code 'IMP 150' and they could appear on the College or Union website!
