All events are held in The Hub, located at Victoria University’s Kelburn Campus. Entrance to the event is through the main doors on Kelburn Parade (a.k.a. Level 0, Easterfield Building - right next door to Subway!). Doors open at 7pm each night.

Make sure you join the event on Facebook to be kept up date with the latest!

Yes, but only if you are a tertiary student! You will still be required to show photo ID (Driver’s License, passport, HANZ 18+) and Student ID (or Confirmation of Study).

Yes!

Combo Passes / Toga are open to all tertiary students.

If you’re not a tertiary student, there are a limited number of R18 General Admission tickets that you can purchase as a non-student.

Combo Passes and Toga Party are for tertiary students only.

If you want to purchase alcohol, the answer is yes – no exceptions. 

As we’ll have a licensed bar at the venue, you are required to present original Photo ID (driver’s License, passport, HANZ 18+) on entry.  Photocopies or photos will also not be accepted. It must also be current (a.k.a. not expired).

No - no exceptions, our events are smokefree. If you are caught smoking or vaping at any of our events, you run the risk of being asked to leave.

Save yourself the temptation and leave your vape at home.

No - no exceptions. Good news is we will have an outdoor area available at the event where you can catch some fresh air, food and water (no smoking or vaping).

All Lost Property found during the event will be kept at our Coat Check counter, before being taken to VUWSA’s Office at the end of the night.

Lost Property can be collected from our Kelburn Reception during our normal office hours; 9am - 4pm weekdays.

For all advertised live music nights, Toga Party and the Comedy Show, the answer is yes. However, follow our Instagram or Facebook for smaller free events we’ll be running throughout the trimester!

If you purchased a combo pass, you will be given a wristband after your ticket is scanned on the first night.

This wristband will grant you entry for the rest of the week, so don’t cut it off until O-Week is over!

Nope - as long as we can scan the barcode off your phone you’re all good!

(And don’t forget to charge your phone up before you arrive to make sure it lasts all night.)

Once tickets are sold out, they’re sold out. Purchase early to make sure you don’t miss out.

We strongly discourage purchasing tickets through Facebook groups or similar.  There’s no guarantee that these tickets are genuine, or not being on sold multiple times. 

If you do purchase a ticket off Facebook and are then unable to get into the show as it’s not genuine or already been scanned, it’ll be tough luck we’re afraid!

For any non-ticketing O-Week issues (we personally can’t help with those), email here.

In short, the answer is no. 

As a ticket buyer, you will acknowledge that occasionally, events are changed by VUWSA due to circumstances beyond our control, such as weather conditions or pandemics such as COVID-19. Please note that in the event that an event is postponed and not cancelled then refunds will not be offered, nor given.

VUWSA reserves the right to add, withdraw or replace any artist or performer, and to amend the event programme, including date(s), prices, venue capacity and/or seating arrangements.

Transaction fees including delivery, booking, and credit card fees are not refundable.

You must hold a valid ticket to attend the event. Unless tickets are purchased from an authorised sales channel, they may be voided or you may be refused admission.

COVID-19: The parties acknowledge that, as at the time of purchase, there is a respiratory outbreak caused by Covid-19 that is impacting New Zealand. The parties agree that where it is impossible or impractical for the performances to take place due to any cause or event in connection with COVID-19 pandemic that is not reasonably within the control of the promoter, then the Performance will be cancelled and the parties will have no further liability to each other, the ticket purchaser will be refunded any monies paid to the promoter less any booking fees paid to the ticket agent and credit card fees paid to the ticket purchaser’s bank.

Nope. No refunds, no swaps.

Make sure you read the ticketing page carefully before you purchase!
