Formal hall at King’s

No public rule; the only documented route is KiFoMaSy, which needs a login, so ask a King's student or KCSU/KCGU whether guest tickets are offered for a given formal.

Booking
KiFoMaSy (store.kcsu.org.uk, login required); details of student formals are sent by email

Student formals are organised by KCSU and KCGU and tickets are booked through KiFoMaSy; details are sent by email. The Student Hub notes that the KCGU website is under construction. Student Hub (opens in a new tab), KCSU (opens in a new tab). KiFoMaSy itself requires a login, so no guest quota, price, dates, dress code or outside-student booking rule is publicly visible. Ask a King's host or KCSU/KCGU about guest tickets for the formal you want.

The 2025 Annual Report says the unions renegotiated the memorandum of understanding for student-run formals, with guaranteed tickets for each union and free tickets for the students running the event. The College agreed in principle to two student-run formals a week, funding permitting; funding for a permanent expansion was not secured that year. An extra graduate formal was approved in Easter Term. Annual Report 2025 (opens in a new tab).

Practical assessment: the route runs through a King's student and a login-only ticketing system; no public rule tells an outside student whether or how they can get a ticket.
