ticket FAQS
Please see below information which we are being regularly asked about tickets.
- Pre-sale tickets - only registered committee members and final year students (including post-graduates) are eligible for advance ticket sale on the 20th February.
- Coaches/Alumni - the Sports Union Awards Ball was established to recognise the contribution of students over the course of that academic year. Whilst it is greatly regrettable that many have missed out on this opportunity in recent years, the online ticketing system is only able to provide tickets to current University of Stirling students.
- Students on Placement - unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate students unable to log in to the website during the dates of sale. We hope the online system provides a convenient and accessible opportunity for all students to buy their tickets. Whilst the event has a record of selling out, we expect sales to be available throughout the morning of Tuesday 21st February. Students cannot buy a ticket on someone else's behalf.
