Union President, David Gilani, has announced that tickets to this years Graduation Ball will cost £39, a £10 reduction on the last two years.
In a blog post on the SUSU website, David Gilani states that the reduction in price is due to low overhead costs at Oceana, where the Ball will be held, and a successful year in SUSU’s other commercial areas.
The event – which will take place on Monday 9th June 2014 – acts as a celebratory party, following the end of the exam period for final year students.
The continuation of a split-payment system has also been confirmed, with students able to pay an initial sum of £20 this term to guarantee a ticket, and then pay the remaining £19 later in the year.
Last year’s event featured acts including DJ Fresh, Pendulum, Chris Stark and Scott Mills, but drew criticism due to the costly ticket price and Example failing to perform.
Tickets for the Grad Ball 2014 will go on sale on 3rd March 2014, with announcements about acts, with acts, themes and outside attractions being unveiled in the next fortnight.
