You may purchase add-ons (i.e. queue jump, dining and punt into the ball) when you checkout your tickets. Alternatively, you can still purchase add-ons after you have bought tickets, subject to availability.

Current members of Magdalene College can bring up to two guests by purchasing Guest of Magdalene tickets upon checkout. Members of the University of Cambridge or alumni of Magdalene College can bring up to two guests by purchasing Guest of Cambridge tickets upon checkout.

​

Please also note that it will be the responsibility of the ticket purchaser to purchase add-ons for the guest and request for name changes should the guest be unable to attend.

The dress code for Magdalene May Balls is white-tie compulsory. Male-identifying guests are expected to wear an evening suit with tails (also known as a dress suit) with a white vest and bow tie. Female-identifying guests are expected to wear a full-length, formal evening dress. Sleeveless gowns, if worn, should be paired with a shawl. Formal dress shoes are encouraged as we have a strict no-trainers policy but heeled shoes are not mandatory.

​

Optional: Gloves are traditionally worn, which are removed when eating, but not compulsory at MMB 25. Short-sleeved or sleeveless dresses are paired with either very long or very short gloves; three-quarter length sleeves are paired with gloves that reach the sleeve and overlap them slightly.

Please feel free to email ticketingandwebsite2025@magdalenemayball.com for more dress code clarifications if needed.

Our ticketing team will be sending out a dietary requirement form to dining attendees via email to collect dietary requirements and seating requests.
