What is the ticket transfer (name change) fee?

When transferring your ticket to another person, a fee may apply depending on the transfer date. This fee helps protect the student body against ticket scalping and the resale of tickets at inflated prices, which is unfortunately common for May Week events. The funds generated from this fee contribute to supporting our access scheme for Jesus College students.

  • Transfer Period: Ticket transfers are available until 3 pm on the day of the event (22nd June).

Standard transfer fee

  • Name changes are free until 2nd February.
  • From 3rd February, the fee increases by £0.60 per day. For example, on 3rd February the fee is £0.60; on 4th February it becomes £1.20; on 5th February it becomes £1.80; and so on.

Sell-out minimum fee

If a ticket type has sold out, a minimum fee of £42.91 applies. This minimum does not increase over time. If the standard daily rate is higher than £42.91, you pay the daily rate instead.


The fee due is calculated and displayed at checkout during the transfer process. For more information on how to transfer your ticket, read this. For full details, please refer to our terms and conditions.
