How do I join?

There are three ways to join:

1. Look out for our friendly Sonic Card Networkers at any Sonic Card event - you can complete a membership form and sign up on the spot.
2. You can complete a membership form and get your card at any time at The Bridgewater Hall or RNCM box offices
3. Sign up online and pick up your card at a Sonic Card event (don’t forget your student ID or NUS card)!

Once you've got your card in your hand all you have to do is show it at the box office, along with a valid NUS card or student ID and a £3 bargain is yours!

Will I get junk mail?

We will send you remainders about the concerts you can get £3 tickets for, and we will email you if an event is coming up, but we won't bombard you with junk. Promise.

Can I get more involved?

Of course you can! The scheme is partly run by student Networkers who help in a number of ways such as choosing the concerts to put forward for the scheme, publicising events and acting as Sonic Card reps on the evening of an event.

So what about the small print?

It’s pretty straightforward, only that the £3 tickets are subject to availability. The Sonic Card is open to Higher and Further Education students only. Valid NUS cards must be shown when purchasing tickets and users must be registered members of the Sonic Card.
