A: Tixtu is the ONLY ticket supplier for the University of Surrey’s Freshers’ Week. We have no affiliation with other websites such as Fatsoma- they have no link to us whatsoever and if you buy a ticket with them you will not get ANY entry into the OFFICIAL University Of Surrey Freshers’ week.

A: Yes, individual tickets will go on sale.

A: Follow the directions above, under ‘Ticket Buying Process’ and create an account on www.tixtu.com, see the steps above. Make sure you join the University of Surrey Students’ Union Group on Tixtu, so it knows you are a Fresher. 

A: Don’t panic! The tickets are not emailed to you! Download the TX.IS app and your ticket can be found there.

A member of staff can lookup a customer’s ticket on a computer and reprint it, but this will only be done in exceptional circumstances and it will be recorded so repeat incidents don’t occur.

A: Yes absolutely! If they are a current student at this University OR another university with a valid student card, then buy them a Student ticket. If they aren’t a current student or don’t have a valid student card then they will need a non-student ticket. You will need to transfer the ticket you have purchased for them to their email address. Just go onto the app and press transfer! They will then be invited to download the app and create an account to host the ticket you sent them.

If you’ve lost your ID, you need to go on: Campus card | Campus life | MySurrey and follow the instructions.

If you’ve lost it just before a night out then please email jade.johnson@surrey.ac.uk explaining this. We can possibly add you onto a special list such that any normal photo ID will allow you access for that event, however this is not a guarantee.

A: See above. You will need your campus card or alternative acceptable form of ID, please see our event policies. To validate your ticket we will need to scan the QR code found on the TX.IS app, please have your ticket ready when you approach the venue. Each QR is unique, untraceable and can only be scanned once. The QR code is your ticket. If you have a wristband, go into the wristband queue and security will check your wristband upon entry.

A: This is an error message that comes up when the tickets that you have selected have all been sold out. We are working with tixtu to ensure that we can change that error message. If you have any queries please email ussu.boxoffice@surrey.ac.uk .

You can sell tickets for face value or less. Anyone caught re-selling above face value will be disciplined the Students’ Union. If you catch someone reselling tickets above face value or selling fake tickets, screenshot it and send it to ussu.boxoffice@surrey.ac.uk and cc: jade.johnson@surrey.ac.uk – you may be rewarded.

If you want to check the tickets that you have purchased then click the my history tab on the Tixtu website.

A: We will not offer refunds for tickets except in very exceptional circumstances; accidental purchase is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

You must also ensure the billing address you have saved in your account settings matches the billing address on the card you are using, if these do not match the transaction may fail.

A: No there won’t be any more on sale. If the tickets have sold out we will not put more on sale, unless previously advertised that staggered tickets will be used for that event. However customers have ten minutes to complete their transaction on Tixtu once they have selected tickets, so it is possible that after the ten minutes that those tickets will return online for general sale if they haven’t been purchased. If tickets have sold out, there will be an icon to say ‘sold out’ next to the tickets in question, however if the icon says ‘not available’ this could mean that tickets are on hold as purchases are going through, therefore tickets may become available again if a student doesn’t complete their transaction in the 10 minute slot. In these circumstances we advise that you just keep trying.

To check how many tickets you have successfully purchased go to the ‘my history’ tab on your Tixtu account and all successful purchases will appear here. If multiple transactions are showing on your bank, please allow a few days for these to correct themselves, money will only be taken if the transaction was successful.
