Policies

​The University of Surrey Students’ Union is a charity with the welfare of its members being one of its core mandates. With this in mind and working inside the framework of the 2003 Licensing act, the Students’ Union has a duty of care to all of its members & customers. 

Below you’ll find policies on how we operate our events, venues and services.

Conditions Of Entry

  • In compliance with our operating schedule, entry to venues will be granted to over 18’s who also comply with the conditions outlined.
  • Unless otherwise stated, last admission for events is midnight and you must be in the queue before this time to be considered for entry.
  • No refunds will be given if you arrive after the last admission time.
  • The venue operates a no re-admission policy. If you leave the venue for any reason, you will not be allowed to re-enter the premises unless you purchase an additional ticket or have been granted permission by the Duty Manager for medical/emergency reasons.
  • Unless otherwise stated, this is a fundraising event for the University of Surrey Students’ Union.
  • Please see the relevant headers below on how to identify yourself to gain entry to Rubix.

  • Any inappropriate behaviour will be dealt with by Students’ Union security. Anti-social behaviour may result in the police being informed.
  • Consuming alcohol in the queue is not permitted. If you are found to be drinking in the queue, alcohol will be confiscated. Entry will be refused if customers do not hand over alcohol to USSU security staff when asked.
  • You may be asked to be searched on entrance or once inside. You reserve the right to refuse the search but may not be permitted entry to the venue, or may be removed if already inside the venue.

  • Nationally recognised ID is defined as a valid passport, driving licence or a PASS card.
    • A valid form of ID is one that is in date and not expired, clearly shows your birth day, month and year, has a picture that accurately represents you and is signed if required.
  • Tickets for events are purchased through either the TX.IS iOS app, TX.IS Android app or through the tixtu website. This ticket must be presented before entry to a member of the USSU team to be scanned. If you cannot produce your ticket but have purchased one, please speak to a member of staff and they will do their best to identify your ticket.

  • All events will stop selling tickets at 8pm on the day of the event. Any remaining tickets will be sold on the door.
  • Ticket sales are restricted to students at the University of Surrey and must be purchased on behalf of Non-Students on a Non-Student ticket.
  • Tickets may be resold but for no more than the face value of the ticket. Any person found to be offering a ticket for sale greater than the face value of the ticket will face disciplinary action and be barred from the event. The ticket in question may also be voided.
    • If you believe you have paid more than face value for a ticket or have been scammed out of a ticket, please email us with the name or contact details of the person selling the ticket and we will take relevant action, as well as reward you.
  • Should you have a complaint about the venue, the event or any services provided inside the venue, please speak to a member of Students’ Union security at the time who will try to resolve your complaint.
