Beware Fake ‘Freshers’ Tickets and Chats

Protect your money and personal details by only accessing official events and accounts provided by your University and Students’ Union.

We want all Lancaster University students to be safe – and for new students that starts even before you arrive.

Over the summer, you may come across ‘Freshers’ social profiles, group chats and link trees that promise they’re ‘100% official’ and that their events are nearly sold out – but they may not be what they seem.

Don’t risk sharing personal details with unofficial accounts or giving away your money for events that may not take place. Instead, follow the simple tips below and make sure that in the run up to Welcome Week, you connect to official University and Students’ Union (LUSU) accounts.
