‘We saved over fifty quid forging fresher wristbands’: savvy students snuck into Guild ball

Shrewd freshers blagged their way into the Welcome Ball after forging tickets.

The savvy students saved themselves £60 by printing fake wristbands that only cost them £2 to make.

The group, who want to remain anonymous, managed to fool bouncers at the Welcome Ball with their homemade tickets – and they even found other students at the event who had done the same thing.

They told The Tab: “We were nervous at first, but the bouncer didn’t give a shit – it was so easy.

“When we got in, we met two other students who had done the same thing.

“It only took a couple of quid and four hours in front of a computer screen to make.

“The original bands were ridiculously priced and unreasonable for someone on a student budget.”

They enjoyed the events for a fraction of the price

The students tried their luck by forging the Platinum wristbands offered by the Guild, and it paid off.

They enjoyed DJ Fresh’s set for a tiny three percent of the cost while others broke the bank to see the Oxford born DJ.

But the Guild insist no one was allowed in unless they had a genuine wristband.

They said: “Only genuine wristbands to Welcome Week events were admitted.

“Our wristbands were priced in line with other student unions and represented excellent value for money.”

Dozy bouncers were fooled by the budget wristbands
