So! You're coming to the Bizarre Ball? Hope you're excited. We are. Here are a few things we thought you'd like to know…

You bought your ticket through a paperless, online system. On the night, you'll need to bring your reference code given when you booked your tickets, and some form of ID. Any questions? Go here http://www.wegottickets.com/faqs. No paper tickets will be mailed out for this event.

* Doors open at 8pm. Acts will be running from around 9pm, so get there early to avoid missing anything! The venue closes at 4am sharp.

* There will be a cloakroom at the venue for you to leave your big bags in.

* There isn't a dedicated changing area, but the venue's toilets are massive and you'll be able to get into your gear in them if necessary.

* You'll be allowed to bring in camera phones and point-and-shoot cameras, but not professional equipment, including flash guns. Anyone using professional photographic equipment or video cameras will be asked to leave the venue.

* There's no food served in the venue. But there is drink. Of course.

*WARNING! There will be extreme acts from 1.45 onwards in the second room - enter at your peril!
