HOW DO I GET A FRESHERS WRISTBAND?
You can obtain a UniLife Freshers Wristband from our Official ticket partner Fatsoma. Each City will have its own wristband for a series of Freshers Week events tailored to your University.
HOW DO I KNOW IF AN EVENT IS GENUINE?
Please ensure that you are purchasing a wristband from our Official UniLife Fatsoma branded page that will feature our logo, website and contact information.
There are many ‘freshers’ events listed on Fatsoma that claim to be the best thing since sliced bread – however, in many cases no event will take place/you will be severely disappointed with the quality and production of the event itself.
If you would like to verify an event please feel free to send us an email unilife@freshersevents.co.uk where we will be more than happy to confirm.
WHAT IF I DON'T GET INTO MY CHOSEN UNIVERSITY?
If you have already purchased your UniLife Freshers wristband and things don’t go to plan on results day for your chosen University please read the below to obtain your refund. You Must:
– Request a refund through Fatsoma.
– You MUST provide proof (UCAS evidence) of your university change / deferral / rejection and a valid photographic ID. – Email the above proof to unilife@freshersevents.co.uk with the subject ‘2022 Freshers Refund’ along with the name that your ticket was purchased under (if it is different from the name on your ID).
