Tickets for US Senator Bernie Sanders' talk in Cambridge next month have gone on sale today (May 8).

Cambridge Union events are more often than not restricted to members only, and you can only be a member if you are a Cambridge University student.

But Bernie's event on Friday, June 2 is open to the public, with a restricted number of non-member tickets on offer.

The talk will be a morning event, with Senator Sanders addressing the union at 10am for an hour.

The union predicts it will be such a popular talk that overflow rooms are planned. But don't worry, even if you are in an overflow room, the senator still plans to come and say hello to each room.

Copies of Bernie's new book, Our Revolution, will also be on sale.

Tickets cost £20 and went on sale at 9am.

If you don't manage to secure a ticket, don't worry, because you can be a keen bean and queue from 6am on the morning of the event for the chance to take a seat in the chamber.

It might well be worth it, as these tickets will cost just £5.

Cambridge Union is asking successful ticket-buyers to bring photo ID, just to make sure no one has a go at pretending to be you to 'Feel the Bern' in person.

Cambridge Union's speakers’ officer Jonah Surkes said: “We are excited to be able to release more details surrounding the Senator’s visit to the Cambridge Union, and to announce that we will be opening this event to members of the public.

"Due to the expected popularity of the event, the Senator’s visit requires careful planning to ensure it runs smoothly, and we ask for all members’ cooperation and understanding in this process.

"I look forward to seeing many of you at the Union on the morning of June 2 for what promises to be an historic and inspirational visit.”
