🚨 WINTER BALL 2026 - EXCLUSIVE WAITLIST RELEASE 🚨

Missed out on tickets? Here's your next chance!

🎟️ Only 100 tickets are available, and demand has already been incredibly high.

How it works:

✅ Join the waitlist before 11:00am tomorrow.

✅ Shortly after the waitlist closes, you'll receive an exclusive access code and ticket link by email.

✅ You'll then have access to an exclusive 48-hour ticket release, running until Monday at 12:00pm (midday).

Join the waitlist here: https://buytickets.at/shetlandyouthvoice1/2453826

⚠️ Important: Joining the waitlist does NOT automatically secure you a ticket.

To buy a ticket, you'll still need to:

📧 Check your email for your access code
🔑 Use the code to unlock ticket sales
🎟️ Complete your purchase

Tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

⚠️ Please do not share your access code with others. These codes are intended for waitlist members only and help us ensure a fair ticket release process.

If any tickets remain after the Exclusive Waitlist Release, they will be released to the general public. However, given the level of demand, we expect tickets to sell out very quickly.

⏰ Waitlist closes: 11:00am tomorrow 🎫 100 tickets available 👀 Join the waitlist now to maximise your chance of securing a ticket!

Good luck, and we hope to see you at Winter Ball 2026 ❄️✨

A throwback to Nature and Environment Summit from September ✨

"I think it is important to learn about nature and the environment, because it effects all of our futures and it is really important to raise awareness so we can help."
