If you have any other questions about our ball, tweet any other questions to us at @icunion using our hashtag, #icusummerball.
Can someone that doesn’t go to imperial buy a ticket?
In short, yes. Each Imperial student can sign in up to two guests each. However, the guests must arrive with the student, who needs to provide their CID number or College Card. Details of the guest will also be required, including name, email address and contact number.
Can I buy a ticket and attend if I’m an Associate Member?
Yes! Just make sure you bring your Associate Membership Card with you on the night.
I’m part of an institution that is associated with Imperial College Union, such as CAPA or AIFS - can I buy a ticket?
Yes you can! As with all ticket holders, make sure you bring photo ID and proof of age.
Can under 18s buy tickets?
Unfortunately under 18s are not permitted to the event and all attendees will need to provide proof of age upon arrival.
What’s the dress code?
There is no “dress code”, however in past years attendees have capitalised on the glamour of the event and come in black tie.
What about fancy dress and/or props to fit in with the theme?
Absolutely! One thing that won’t be allowed is fake/replica weapons, e.g. water pistols, plastic knives, etc. Everyone will be searched as they enter the ball and if any of these items are found, they will be confiscated before you can enter the ball.
What do I get with my ticket?
So much! From chart-topping DJs and entertainment across multiple rooms, to a funfair, a silent disco, fireworks and much, much more! Click here for more.
Can I refund my ticket?
We apologise but tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Where do I collect my tickets?
Your tickets will be emailed to you 1-2 days before the event. Please bring a print of your ticket email or take a screenshot of the QR code on your phone so that you can get to it easily on the door.
Is there a dining option?
There isn’t a formal dining option at the ball - this means that tickets can be cheaper for every student and more efforts can be focused on delivering an even better ball. However, food will be available to purchase until 01:00.
Will there be a cloakroom on the night?
Yes - it’s £2.00 per item, and if you keep your cloakroom ticket, then you can put your item in the After party cloakroom for free.
Can I just buy an After Party ticket?
Only those with a Ball ticket will be able to purchase a ticket for the After Party. We recommend getting this ticket online at the same time as your main Summer Ball ticket. If there are any After Party tickets unsold by the day of the event, these will be sold on the door.
