Almost every other year since 1929, St Catharine's College has hosted an event during May Week to celebrate the end of the academic year.
This year, the event will be themed around "Kalopsia", the illusion that things are more beautiful than they are.
This year, the standard ticket is priced at £145 for entry beginning at 9pm.
Queue Jump Tickets are priced at £160 and allow for priority entry to the May Ball.
Dining tickets, where a formal dinner is provided from 6.30pm and allows for immediate entry to the May Ball, is priced at £185.
Bursary tickets (equivalent to Standard tickets) are available to students of St Catharine's College with a full Cambridge bursary for £90. No queue jump is available for these tickets.
These are only offered to current students of St Catharine's College, and based off the FULL Cambridge Bursary (details available at their website). Purchases will be verified in confidence and privacy with the Senior Tutor. Individuals who incorrectly purchase a bursary ticket will be contacted directly about buying their ticket at the correct price.
Each individual is permitted to purchase up to three guest tickets. These guests are not required to be members of the University.
Tickets will be released to current members of St Catharine's College at 5pm on Wednesday 20th November 2019.
Then, tickets will be released for purchase by alumni.
The next batch of tickets will become available to members of both St Catharine's College, Corpus Christi College and Queens' College at the start of Lent Term.
Finally, the remaining tickets will be released to all current members of the University by mid-January.
We allow the option of paying the entire price of the ticket immediately online, or as a 50% non-refundable deposit now, with the remainder to be paid in Lent Term.
You will be emailed when this will take place and be asked to visit the ticketing system where you will be redirected to the payment portal.
