THE event that you've all been waiting for. The culmination of your years of studies at GKT.
A night of food, fun and fancy frocks. Come and join your Final Year Committee in sending you off into the real world, at your 2023 Graduation Ball. This year we have worked tirelessly to bring, what we know to be, the greatest graduation ball in GKT history (and it's a long and illustrious history we have...) It will be inclusively incredible, the best of nights for each and every member of the Class of 2023! DO NOT MISS OUT! We can not wait to celebrate all of our years of hard work at a night worthy of our celebration! For now check out the pictures of our gorgeous venues on our website here : https://gktfyc23.wixsite.com/gkt-graduation-ball
We will be starting the night at our very own Guy’s Campus, the perfect place to start! Here we will have mocktails/cocktails and take the whole year grad ball picture. We will then carry on to the STUNNING prince consort rooms in the honorary artillery company for the main event before ending the night at the afterparty! This is NOT Something to be missed out on so buy your ticket quick - it is THE event of medical school!
BEFORE YOU PURCHASE ANY TICKETS PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY
This year we have two full price tickets - the Early Bird for £140 (which is out now) and the general Full Price Ticket for £150 (which will be released in March).
Alongside this, for the very first time, we have the Payment Plan ticket - which allows you to split the cost of the ticket in to three! IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE THIS TICKET PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY!
To buy this ticket, buy the ticket on the right hand side of this website called ‘Payment Plan Instalment 1 Ticket'. Once you have done this complete the google form here :
https://forms.gle/ARJpyjH9R7J2NbyJ8
- your ticket will only be confirmed once you have completed the google form. When it comes to Instalment 2 and 3, we will email you in the weeks commencing the dates below and ask you to purchase 'Payment Plan Instalment 2 / 3' via the KCLSU Website, you can purchase the ticket anytime during that week. If you have any questions about it check the FAQ page here : https://gktfyc23.wixsite.com/gkt-graduation-ball and if it isn't answered there, contact us via the Contact FYC page also on the website. If you would also like to apply for a bursary ticket, don't worry you can still purchase a payment plan ticket! We will simply reduce the third instalment as much as we can.
Payment Plan Dates :
First Instalment (£50) must be purchased by 20th November. After this date you will no longer be able to purchase a payment plan ticket.
Second Instalment (£50) - Paid in W/C February 6th
Third Instalment (£40) - Paid in W/C May 8th
Just to reiterate, your payment plan ticket WILL NOT BE VALID until you have completed the google form here : https://forms.gle/ARJpyjH9R7J2NbyJ8
you will need to fill out a separate google form if purchasing a payment plan ticket for a plus one.
Finally we have the Bursary ticket, details about how to apply for this will be out in March. The Bursary Ticket application will be available to any student in receipt of either Full NHS Bursary or have been in receipt of the KCL Hardship Fund at any point in Stage 3 Year 5. The amount we can subsidise tickets is entirely based on the amount of students who apply and pass the criteria. We are not supported in this by any faculty money or any other support, we are currently exploring all options in order to get the most amount of money we can in the pot to subsidise the bursary tickets with. For this reason, we will not be opening tickets until around late March. Once applications are open we will put out a message on all our socials, MSA Newsletter and the Weekly Programme Update. If you would also like to opt for a payment plan ticket, don't worry you still can! We will simply reduce the third instalment as much as we can.
Once applications are open, please apply via our website (link to our website is here : https://gktfyc23.wixsite.com/gkt-graduation-ball once applications are open this site will be updated and you will be able to apply via a link on the website!)
Plus One's are more than welcome! There is no difference in price for these tickets, and you are able to buy all ticket types for them. Though they will not be eligible for the bursary ticket. If you want to buy a payment plan ticket for them please complete a new google form (link) for them when you purchase.

If we can we will refund those with early bird or full price tickets by the amount we can reduce the tickets by or reduce the price of the final payment for those with payment plan tickets! We will also not be offering any refunds for grad ball tickets.
