Why do free events require tickets, and what does overbooking mean?
Ticketing helps us manage attendance numbers, ensure adequate resources, and provide a smoother entry process for everyone.
Often, with free events, we see a large number of ‘no shows’. This is when people get a ticket but don’t show up. To account for this, we “overbook” an event and give away more free tickets than we have space for.
Please note that having a ticket doesn't guarantee entry. We recommend you arrive early to an event you don’t want to miss out on!
Where is the Hideaway?
When you get to the Regent Street campus, walk through the reception past the ID barriers, head to the right, go through the glass doors and down the open staircase. Continue walking straight past the refectory until you get to us!
Regents Street is undergoing some maintenance work and the staircase to our venue is temporarily closed. But you can still access the Hideaway through the old gym.
