State Funeral (Mon 19 Nov)

All gold and silver wristband holders who paid a higher amount for their wristband will receive a partial refund to compensate for the cancelled events.

Collecting your wristband

After you have purchased a wristband, you can collect it from the Students' Union between 12:00-20:00 every day from Friday 16 September onwards.

Friday 16 - Sunday 18 September: SU Main Hall

Monday 19 September onwards: Union Helpdesk (first floor of the Students' Union Building).

Please note that all ticket holders need to be present when exchanging for a wristband and wristbands must be placed on your arm at the time of collection. We cannot refund any wristbands that are lost between collection and the event start so please ensure you look after them.

Logging into our website

If you already have your Campus Connect login details, you should be able to access to our website, add a wristband to your basket and checkout with no issue. However, if you encounter any problems logging in, please follow the steps provided by our login guide. Still no luck?

Be aware of fake events

Keep an eye out for any deals that look too good to be true and be wary of anything you see that isn’t being advertised through our @SURHUL social media pages. Every year, external companies advertise ‘Royal Holloway Freshers’ coach trips for events in central London; these events may exist, but they are not affiliated with the Students’ Union or the University. The only place you'll be able to purchase tickets for official events is on our website or the Union App. Always check for our logo and check in with our team on social media if you're unsure.
