VIP Tickets
For those who want to experience an exclusive ball evening, there is the option of booking VIP tickets. The price for a VIP ticket is €199. These tickets guarantee you a seat at the tables directly on the dance floor in the presence of the president and other guests from the worlds of science, politics, and business. In addition, you will be supporting our ball, enabling us to offer discounted ticket prices for students, for example.

Seated or strolling tickets
The tickets differ only in terms of the fixed seating. The buffet and program are identical. As prices for students are reduced, students are requested to present their student ID at the entrance on the evening of the event for verification purposes.

LateNight-Ticket
Late Night tickets grant admission from 10 p.m. onwards. The buffet may already be cleared away, but the party is still in full swing. You can dance to standard and Latin music until midnight. After the midnight raffle, there will be party music from a DJ. These tickets are also available at the box office or can be purchased via the ticket shop until shortly before admission.

Tickets cost 19 Euros for everyone.

Where can I get tickets?

Ticket sales start on November 14, 2025. The link to the ticket system will then be published on the “Tickets” page.

What is included in the ticket price?

The program and the buffet in the evening are included with all tickets. Seat ticket holders are entitled to a fixed seat on the evening of the Uniball. You can choose the table you want during the booking process. We will assign the seats to you. There are also late night tickets for admission after 10 pm. This means that the buffet is already cleared away, but you can still shake a leg.

What about drinks?

Sufficient drinks will of course be provided. There will be bars with beer, wine and soft drinks and also a cocktail bar. Cash and EC payment will be possible.

What should I wear?

A ball. An exceptional location. Stylish atmosphere. This also requires appropriate clothing.
We know that not everyone has the elegant evening gown or a tuxedo in their closet. However, we would be pleased if you dressed appropriately for the occasion.

I don't know any standard dances. Can I still come?

Of course you can. Everyone who enjoys an evening in nice company and a stylish ambience is welcome. For all those who want to quickly learn a few dance steps or refresh their dusty dance school knowledge, the Center for University Sports will again offer preparatory courses. The courses can only be booked after purchasing a ball ticket.
