Term 2 18/19 - How To: Get your mits on Tix

14/01/2019 | J Turner

Calling all First Years! 📢 and anyone else who wants insider info on how to get tickets... Like always, as of Term 2 there are no more hall reps ☹️ This means you will have to join the masses and source your tickets from our website like everyone else. Although we have already had our general ticket release, if you weren't lucky enough to grab some tickets here are a few ways you might just get some!! 1. 2nd Release - We have 2nd Release Tickets available every week @ 4pm the Thursday before each event (excludes AllNighters). 2. Resale Tickets - For the weeks we hold socials, any unsold Sports or Social allocation tickets go back onto resale on Tuesdays (the day before the event). We announce the release on twitter (@ilove_CRISIS) as they go live… this is usually around midday 😉 3. The Q - If both of the above options have failed you, you can ALWAYS join The Q over at BOX (opposite Rock City), here you can join our e-queue on the actual night and enjoy yourself in the meantime… trust us this is much more preferable than the days of queuing on the street (especially in winter!) 😜 Hopefully 1 of these 3 methods will help you get an elusive CRISIS ticket in your hand. Best of luck to you all ✌️

Join the ticket ballot

03/11/2018 | A Smith

Following feedback from our customers and polling from Twitter and Facebook, we have decided to put tickets for the Xmas All Nighter (aka - All Whiter) on sale via a ballot system. Please head to our "The Ballot" page on the site here. Deadline for signing up is 09.11.18. Hopefully, most of your questions are answered on that page. If we have failed to answer something please do get in touch. Happy ticket hunting!

AllFrighter Relaunch💀

07/10/2018 | B Marsh

We're so sorry to all those who've had a frustrating time trying to get tickets for the CRISIS AllFrighter. Unfortunately Fixr's website crashed during the launch, therefore making it impossible for many of you to get tickets. This is completely unacceptable and as a result we've decided to pause all sales until the issue can be fixed by Fixr (ironic name, we know). The sales will resume at 4:00pm Tomorrow (8th October). Any purchased tickets are still valid, as roughly half the tickets were successfully purchased during the chaos. Again, we apologise for the frustration and are right there with you. We will be speaking to the ticket provider at length regarding this. Unsurprisingly, you can be assured they'll be getting a trick from us this Halloween, not a treat. 🎃 Many thanks for your patience!

Incident on Talbot St

26/09/2018 | Andrew Smith

Due to an incident on Talbot St this evening we are unable to use the Main Entrance of Rock City, BCL or the smoking area. The entire road has been closed off by Emergency services. We are therefore switching to a fire escape entrance located on the Belgrave Rooms side of the building. To get there, head towards Rescue Rooms Courtyard but go slightly further along. If you have been to Cock-Soc ball before - it's there. Ticketed customers looking to attend tonight, please to go to the Belgrave Rooms side and queue for ticket entry there. All ticket times will be relaxed 30 extra minutes to allow you the additional time to get here. People looking to pay on the door, we are unable to operate "The Q" at Box due to lack of access on Talbot Street. Instead, we are going to post tickets online each time we have available space. Obviously, this is not an ideal situation, but this is the best we can manage short of cancelling the event. Please bare with us as we try to administer this as quickly and as safely as we can. We will post links to the Belgrave entrance on social media,

The Q is moving!

20/09/2018 | B Marsh

With less than one week to go until another glorious year of CRISIS we thought it’s time for an announcement… The CRISIS Q is moving to BOX bar! (Previously known as Red Bar). This means that The Q is even closer than ever (it’s literally opposite CRISIS) 😎. BOX are also blessing you with cheap drinks and venue exclusivity for students! We hope this will help keep your pres going and make your queueing experience 1000x better. To find out how exactly how The CRISIS Q works, head over to our FAQ page. Now there no excuse to ever miss a CRISIS...😉

Term 1 Ticket Release 18/19

01/08/2018 | J Turner

With summer coming to an end, it's time to start thinking about the new term! And what better way to start it than with a bunch of tickets to your favourite Wednesday night? This term is packed with themes, including some of the old faves and also something new to look forward to ✨ Tickets go on sale at 4pm on Sunday 12th August!! In addition to online tickets, a number of paper tickets will be available in halls. Just a heads up - there are NO 2nd Release Tickets Term1. 2nd Release will resume again Term 2 in place of paper tickets. Tickets will fly, so better be snappy and get in there quicktime ✌️

CRISIS is going Q-Less

24/05/2018 | A Smith

We are pleased to announce that from the 6th June we will be starting a new "q-less" system for entry to CRISIS for non-ticket holders. Instead of standing outside Black Cherry Lounge for what seems like days, we invite you to go down the road to Rescue Rooms. Here, you can join an electronic queue and then hang out in Rescue Rooms, getting drinks and enjoying yourselves. Once we have space for your next door in CRISIS we will text you and you can pick up ticket whilst still in Rescue Rooms and then head straight next door. Simple.

Report Bad Resellers!

24/10/2017 | A Smith

Having previously been content to leave the reseller market of tickets to itself, we have been disturbed to see that people are marking up tickets excessively and ripping each other off. Enough is enough! We have decided to make it possible for people to report anyone marking up a ticket by more than 20%. All you have to do is message us on the contact page of the website, start an online chat or message in on any of our social media channels. We will ask for screen shots and things like that to help us make our case. Any successful reports will enable us to cancel their tickets and put them back on general sale.

Ticket Sale Launch

16/08/2017 | J Turner

The long awaited return of CRISIS is over!! You will be able to purchase your Term One Tickets on Sunday 20th August. Ticket sales go live go at 1:00pm. We have a very exciting Wednesday lineup over the term, packed with LOADS of fabulous CRISIS themes and AllNighters. Tickets will go fast, make sure to grab them quick - don't say we didn't warn you 😉

500 CRISIS Tickets at Robin Hood 7s

09/06/2017 | A Smith

CRISIS are delighted to be running the bars again down at The Robin Hood Sevens. This year we have set aside 500 paper tickets especially for people who come down to enjoy the rugby, the sunshine (we hope), beers, food, music and just a great atmosphere. So, if you missed out on tickets and want to go to CRISIS that night, head down and pick up yours.

Official Grad Ball After Party - Thursday 15th June

02/06/2017 | A Smith

So CRISIS have teamed up with the Union and Rock City to bring you the Official Grad Ball After Party for all those who want to keep The Grad Ball vibes going through to the wee small hours. This night is a special merged edition with the usual Rock City Thursday night - "Tuned" making it a bit of CRISIS vs Tuned. Tickets will be at £5.50 and will allow entry anytime before 1:15am. (We will also allow an extra half hour of grace for anyone running late from the ball). Tickets go on sale SUNDAY at 4PM! Please note that the venue has a license restriction of 2am entry so if you miss this you sadly won't be allowed in. Aiming for a 4am finish for those of you who can handle it!

End of Term Tickets

28/04/2017 | A Smith

Tickets for all our events in June are being released at 1pm on Sunday 7th May subject to the usual website implosion ;) We are, however, holding back an allocation of 500 tickets for the 14th June which will be made available at the Robin Hood 7s Rugby tournament that takes place at Highfields on the same day. So, if you miss out on the website you can come down to Highfields enjoy some Rugby, Music, Beers and get your CRISIS tickets.

All Nighter is here!

04/04/2017 | A Smith

Well that went quickly! Blink and this term has just disappeared. All Nighter is happening this Wednesday 5th April and we hope you will all be down to enjoy it. Doors are opening at the astonishing hour of 8pm. This isn't done this early because we hate you, but simply is the only way we can work things to make sure as many people who want to come to CRISIS can come in. Short of extending the club, the only thing we can do is increase the hours so at least at some point you can stop in. Thanks for a great term and we will see you back after the easter break

Tickets now on sale for term 3

16/03/2017 | A Ottridge

Tickets for CRISIS on 10th May 2017 are now on sale. Get them while they are hot! For this one we have put all tickets on sale in advance with no sports allocations (due to BUSA ending). On any given Wednesday we release 2100 tickets ahead of the event. Our apologies if you have been unable to get one. We always then leave a few spaces on the door before reverting to one-in-one out.

New CRISIS site launched

16/03/2017 | A Smith

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed some changes to the site. Either that or it's already crashed. Never mind! Hopefully our new site will iron out some kinks and inconsistencies from the old one and provide a better experience.
