1. A CASA table with a free bottle of vodka and a crate of TREB.

Nothing takes the edge of hangxiety like knowing that at least you didn’t have to pay for it – mi CASA su CASA.

2. Tropiloco: Mystery Location Holiday for 2 and 2x Tropi season cards

Who doesn’t love a mystery, and this is an intriguing one – will you be off to Birmingham or Bermuda, there’s only one way to find out! Winners will also get two Tropi season cards, giving you free Tropiloco entry for the year, including all specials! What a steal, and perhaps our most audacious prize yet.

3. Stage one VIP card

If you’ve ever dreamt of being treated like royalty, then this one’s for you. Roll out the red carpet and swan to the front of the queue at Market Shaker, Pumphrey’s, Space Mondays Playground, Swingers, Feral, Mimo, Mushroom and Tiki with two of your bougiest friends, as well as enjoying 10% off drinks every day at Shaker, Pumphrey’s, Mimo and Mushroom.

4. 4x Blinkers tickets

Quit horsing around, and go see some horsing around! Visit Newcastle’s premier racecourse for free with three mates for a day you probably won’t remember (because of the alcohol).

5. x4 Fight Night tickets

Pull this one for an exhilarating night of student boxing, maybe you’ll even be tempted to enter yourself next time.

6. x4 Soho Gold cards

This gives you free entry for the whole year AND a round of free red pints at Soho Jesmond for you and eight mates. Eight friends? Yeah right, nobody has that many.

7. A meal out at Hüs 

A bottle of wine and a sharing board for 4, how mature. Are weeks of pesto-pasta taking their toll? Has a diet of brown given you scurvy? Are you struggling to remember the taste of a home-cooked meal? Well how about a taste of the high life at Hüs Jesmond to wash all that away.

8. Loosefest: 2x VIP weekend tickets

Festival tickets normally break the bank, but not this time. Go VIP and free at Newcastle’s number 1 festival – you don’t want to miss it.

9. Loosedays: 1x black card 

Now this one’s a real doozy, so pay attention. This black card will secure you free entry to all Loosedays events FOR LIFE. That’s right, whether you’re 18 or 80, don’t let a thin wallet stop you from enjoying yourself.

10. GDT tickets x4 and GDT XXL tickets x4

Let’s be honest, you’re going out anyway, you might as well try and go for free.

11. RebelThursdays: free entry for a year

Newcastle’s number one indie session for over ten years. With one every Thursday, the money you could save over a year of free indie music is incalculable! 

12. Koda: a year soundcloud subscription and 6 season passes

Are you a budding rapper? Well then this one’s for you – kickstart your career the financially sound way with a free year on SoundCloud. On top of this, the season passes will get you free entry to all Koda events in 2024/25. Very nice.

13. £30 gift voucher at Brackburger

Oh the things you can do with this. You can buy a burger, you can let someone else buy a burger, the list goes on! Budgeting food is always a problem at the forefront of the fiscally conscientious student’s mind, so take the pressure off with some free food at the lovely Brackburger.
