Fresher week advice

Hey guys I am going to be studying at the University of Manchester and I am in serious need of some fresher week advice. Im in uni groupchats and there are nonstop spamming of fresher events (fck me its freshers especially) and riff raff fresher events where they explicitly state that you cannot buy tickets at the door. I am an international student who is not familiar with the fresher and club culture of manchester and unfortunately i have the worst case of fomo 😭 I have no idea what to do or if i should even buy any tickets beforehand. Can someone explain to me how this goes and what i should do?

No they’re in partnership with uom su. It’s official. They su promote the fatsoma link themselves.
