Please note the confirmation email you receive after registering is not your e-ticket. Around 2 weeks before the ceremony, you will receive an email from Imperial-College@idloom.events with a QR code that will act as your e-ticket for on the day registration, contain your gown  booking reference for gown collection, your graduand ceremony ticket, and your graduand reception pass (if you have chosen this option).

In addition to this e-ticket, 2 weeks before the ceremony you will also receive separate tickets from Imperial-College@idloom.events for any guest ceremony e-tickets you have purchase, directly from the Royal Albert Hall from e-tickets@royalalberthall.com. 

Guest ceremony tickets grant guests access to the ceremony only at the Royal Albert Hall, and this can be purchased via the Royal Albert Hall webpage links on Step 2 of the registration process. You should receive a confirmation email from the Royal Albert Hall shortly after paying at checkout as proof of purchase. This is a confirmation email only and e-tickets will be sent 2 weeks before the ceremony.

You only need to purchase guest ceremony tickets and not a ceremony ticket for yourself.

Departmental reception passes are different to ceremony tickets, and they grant access to the departmental receptions on campus only. Departmental reception passes are purchased seperately to ceremony tickets, as part of Step 1 of registration (the registration form), of which you should receive a confirmation email from Imperial College shortly after payment at checkout as proof of purchase. This is a confirmation email and e-tickets will be sent 2 weeks before the ceremony.

Should any additional guest ceremony tickets or guest ceremony passes be still available, the Graduation Team will notify graduands via email (after Late Awardee Registration closing). Tickets will then be sold on a first come first served basis.

Guest tickets to the ceremonies at the Royal Albert Hall are E-tickets which the Box Office will send directly via email within 2 weeks of the event.
