No — this is the first release of tickets, with further releases planned for a later date. If you miss out this time, another opportunity to join us in Velaris will follow.

Will tickets sell out?
We expect high demand from the waitlist, so we recommend booking as soon as possible if you want to join us.

Why is the ticket priced at £235?
This is a full-scale produced London fantasy ball, rather than a standard bookshop release party. The ticket price reflects the venue, food and drink vouchers, entertainment, immersive experiences, staffing, production, beauty touch-ups, tarot readings, access to the Market, and the midnight celebration itself.

We know it is a special occasion ticket, and we’ve worked hard to keep it in line with other fantasy ball-style events while creating something that feels genuinely magical, immersive, and worth dressing up for.

Is there a dress code?
Yes: Black Tie • Fantasy Inspired • Court Couture Encouraged.

Is the event 18+?
Yes — this is an 18+ celebration due to the mature themes of the ACOTAR series.

Is the venue accessible?
Yes, the venue is fully accessible. A complimentary cloak, coat and bag check will also be available.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?
Yes. We’ve worked closely with our caterers to create a menu designed to accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other common allergies or intolerances.

Guests will be asked to share any dietary requirements in advance so we can do our very best to accommodate everyone safely.
