Sorry that it may seem that way but I am not advertising anything... I'm here letting you know that from a 3rd years perspective I bought the Student Unions band in freshers and it was a waste of money because I only went to two nights as did my flat mates. I've just looked back at my post and it does look like shameless self promo and I apologise for that. The problem with the Student Union wristband is everyone goes to a few events and then gets bored by the same routine especially as it's one venue. I'm not shoving the climax wristbands down anyones throats. I'm just letting you guys know where you can get them and why I would recommend one or just individual tickets to events. Freshers is massive here in Cardiff and there will be a lot of competing clubs trying to get as many students to come as possible. My advice to you is check the lineups, acts and events advertised before making any rash decisions.
If you need any advice on anything else let me know.
