This is due to technical restrictions on the ticket-selling platform.
For tickets of 6 or less, please select ‘non-graduate student’ and continue purchasing as usual.
If you are the ticket purchaser, please ensure all graduate students in your party have provided you in advance with their student email address, student ID and dietary requirements.
