Any non-students who purchase a ticket will forfeit their ticket and payment to the Student Bar Association.

Any student who purchases more than two (2) tickets will forfeit all tickets and payment to the Student Bar Association.

Tickets are non-refundable, but transferable. Students may resell tickets, but may not charge more than the original purchase price (including any service fees). SBA reserves the right to revoke tickets if this policy is violated.

All guests must be 21+, and valid government-issued ID will be checked at the door.

Doors will open at 7:00 PM and close promptly at 8:00 PM. Attendees who are not in line by 8:00 PM will be denied entry unless prior arrangements with OSL are made by contacting [email protected].

Each attendee will receive two (2) drink tickets at the door. Additional drinks (beer, wine, hard seltzer, soft drinks) will be available for purchase at the cash bar (credit card accepted). Hors d’oeuvres stations and desserts will be available throughout the evening.

SBA has worked hard to make this event a memorable and safe experience for all attendees. Any individual who appears visibly intoxicated or engages in harassing, violent, or otherwise inappropriate behavior may be denied entry or removed from the event, and their ticket may be revoked.

We understand that this event represents a significant expense. SBA has worked diligently to keep ticket prices as low as possible while meeting the high costs associated with hosting a large-scale formal at this venue. The ticket price reflects the lowest feasible cost to deliver a high-quality event worthy of Georgetown Law’s signature formal. We cannot wait to celebrate with you at Barristers' Ball 2026!
