Pre-Registration for ticket holders
Pre-registration is highly recommended. Complete the form after buying
your ticket to receive a QR code for faster check-in on the day.
Ticket holders with valid pre-registration are more likely to be
allocated seats closer to the front of their seating block.
After buying your ticket, please complete
this pre-registration form
before the event date.
ICAS members only need to complete the form if requesting seats
together.
Requesting seats together
If you would like to sit with another ticket holder, you must:
- Hold tickets of the same tier.
- Each complete the pre-registration form.
- Each enter the other person's name in the form.
We will do our best to seat you together, but cannot guarantee
this. Requesting seats together does not give you any additional
priority for preferred seat locations.
Fan letters and gifts
Please place fan letters in the designated box at the ticket desk.
What we can accept
Fan letters only. The one exception is flower arrangements with
advance written approval.
- We can only accept letters addressed to the guest.
-
A fan-letter box will be at the ticket desk on the event day.
Please put your letters in this box rather than handing letters,
gifts or flowers directly to the guest.
-
We cannot accept other gifts, including food, drink, soft toys and
other physical presents, or flowers without advance written
approval. Anything other than letters left in the box cannot be
passed on to the guest. The only exception is approved flower
arrangements, which follow the flower arrangement rules below.
-
For safety and security, staff may open and check letters before
passing them to the guest. Please do not enclose cash, cheques,
gift cards or anything else of monetary value, food or drink,
electronic devices, sharp or dangerous items, or other items the
organisers consider unsuitable or unsafe.
-
We may hold back any letter that is inappropriate, abusive,
threatening or otherwise unsuitable for the guest. Letters that
pass these checks will be given to the guest by the staff. We are
unable to confirm individual deliveries or answer any enquiries
about specific letters.
Flower arrangements
We can accept a limited number of arrangements. Please wait for our
written approval before placing any order.
Size limits include the stand and decorations. Illustrations are
not to scale.
-
We can accept a limited number of flower arrangements addressed to
the guest, including flower stands and bouquets. Please email
animesoc@imperial.ac.uk
in advance and only order flowers once you have received our
written confirmation.

width 150 cm, including the stand and decorations. Bouquets:
maximum overall dimensions 80 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm.

Please deliver flowers in person on 22 November 2026 between 10:00

courier deliveries. Please follow instructions in our confirmation
email and speak to a member of staff when you arrive.
-
Please arrange for flower stands to be collected and removed from
the venue by 20:00 on the same day. Smaller bouquets do not need
to be collected.
-
Please do not include decorations or equipment that need a power
supply. Arrangements that exceed the size limits, or that staff
consider inappropriate or unsafe, may be refused on the day.
-
Staff will decide where accepted flower stands are placed, and we
are unable to take requests for specific locations. We will do our
best to display every approved arrangement, but cannot guarantee
this due to venue restrictions.
-
Smaller bouquets are accepted as gifts and will not be displayed
in the venue like flower stands. They will also not need to be
collected. Please hand all approved flowers to staff as agreed,
rather than placing them in the fan-letter box or giving them
directly to the guest.
