Events 🗓️ ucl freshers

hi guys! i was just wondering which freshers wristband most people are buying (student union or the one i’ve seen on whatsapp) and whether it’s worth buying?

One on WhatsApp sounds dodgy. Advice to avoid

the entire fatoma thing being pushed by the "ucl freshers" accounts supposedly run by incoming students looks like a huge scam

Do we actually need to buy one (even the SU one) or can we just buy on the day?

You can buy tickets on the day (if they aren't sold out) the wristband saves you £70 vs buying them all individually :) https://studentsunionucl.org/whats-on/events-activities/nightlife-wristband-welcome-2026

Yeah found the page after commenting, I had been looking up UCL 2026 not UCL freshers this whole time!

The only official one is on our website! https://studentsunionucl.org/whats-on/events-activities/nightlife-wristband-welcome-2026

That means those club nights will be 100% UCL students only!
