Do all clubs charge entry/ require tickets bought before hand for freshers week
Im in a few groupchats and all of them are promoting specific events that require you to buy tickets way beforehand. Are these usually the only things you can do regarding clubbing, or will there be clubs wehre you just pull up needing a ticket?

There will be other events through the year where you can buy at the door. Freshers will either be sold out close to the event or they put the prices up. I woud recommend waiting until you know your going to the uni before buying a ticket, like after results day. Freshers are popular and they need to know how many people will attend.

I mostly went clubbing where you buy a ticket at the door on student nights.

You will get a lot of shills in GC’s pretending to be students. Be very cautious.

Strongly recommend only buying official events through the students union, lots of scammers create fake events or put on bodge job events then infiltrate group chats and create hype before offloading them on unsuspecting incoming students.
Yes for freshers week tickets are normal - but it’s way too early for them yet, the current academic year doesn’t end until roughly June let alone next year’s events…

Those groupchats and the people sharing links/pushing tickets are reps.
They’re not freshers and they’re rarely even students.
No official events sell tickets until after results day.
No unofficial events properly sell out (because lots of people who buy tickets change their mind and don’t go so they sell their tickets on).
Don’t be pressured. These events don’t refund (even though they say they do)
Follow your university student union social media accounts for the official events that actually do sell out.

I did freshers last year in Liverpool the official wristband was good because it got me into loads of places for a fair price and was actually busy events, I know some cities can be different with wristbands but Liverpool was worth it for me

oh is it just the case where you buy a wristband when you get to the uni in the first place which lets you in multiple events

Every single university is different.
If you follow the student union on social media and ask them for more details they can explain when and how tickets for their events are released

I just brought it online last year I just checked to make sure the company selling it actually did events in the city first so that I knew it would be legit, I think any company that already does events in the city will have reputations to keep so will more likely do the better events in freshers as opposed to the ones that just do a one off freshers event
