On the 22nd of June, 2012, the Commemoration Ball returns to Magdalen College. The white tie Ball is generally regarded as the best in Oxford, having previously been named the Times Social Event of the Year. Its reputation for excellence is well deserved with previous acts including Feeder, Pharrell and the Rolling Stones. Appearing only once every three years, Magdalen's Ball will be the highlight of most students’ time at the University.
The 2009 Magdalen College Ball is still fondly remembered by its guests, and photos are available here.
Current & past members of Magdalen College may purchase tickets through our ticketing site here. All members are able to purchase three additional tickets for guests. Depending on availability, this guest allocation may be extended at a later date. Each non-dining ticket costs £170, and must be paid for in full by credit or debit card at the time of booking. We have now sold out of dining tickets, but we will notify all other ticket holders if more become available.
If any tickets are unsold at the end of Hilary Term, sales will open to the University as a whole. Availability expected to be extremely limited however, with only 30 tickets remaining at this point in 2009. The Committee would strongly advise anyone wishing to attend to do so as a guest of a current member of alumnus of Magdalen.
