❗️BEWARE OF COPY CAT IMITATIONS ❗️
Icebreaker has been running since 2012, and has been at the heart of every freshers week since. Listing only legitimate & best venues in every city. Dont be fooled by other events trying to imitate The Big Freshers Icebreaker. There IS ONLY ONE!!

Since our inception in 2012, no other freshers company has sold more tickets than us. We know what a proper party looks like. We are often imitated but never truly replicated as we offer an experience and a production level that is a cut above the rest. We want you to experience the very best in freshers week, and give you memories that will last a life time, as you embark into university life and adulthood.

We welcome you to take a look at a mixture of our photo albums from different cities all the way back in 2012

FAQ SECTION
🗣️ Can my non-university friends or partner attend?
✅ Yes they can! They will still need to have purchased their own tickets but every student is allowed 2 non-students to join them for entry.
🗣️ Why do the tickets come in different price tiers?
✅ There is only a limited amount of tickets we can sell. Therefore we operate a festival style ticketing model. The earlier you buy your ticket the cheaper it will be.
🗣️Does my ticket need to be in my name?
✅ No it doesn't, we just need to scan your barcode. However, please be cautious when buying tickets from a third party.
🗣️Where can I collect my add ons? (Icebreaker T-Shirt & LED Batons)
✅ When you get entry into the event, simply show a member of our staff your add on ticket and you will be given these upon entry.
🗣️What ID will I need to provide on entry?
✅ You will need to show a valid driving licence, provisional driving licence or passport. This is in line with the national guidelines and nightclub entry requirements policy.
