Want something to do before the exam madness hits? Well here you go!

Since this is a fundraiser, we can’t get you free drinks, but what we can get you is a great deal on admission! Get one ticket for $5 or three tickets for $12 and get a 10% off voucher for the UofT bookstore (while supplies last)! Why should you buy your tickets from us rather than paying at the door?
