Ticket FAQ

Can I register to claim extra tickets?

Extra tickets are not available at this time. Please complete this request form to be put on a waitlist for extra guest tickets. There is no guarantee that extra tickets will be available. As much as we would like to accommodate everyone’s requests, we must follow fire and safety protocols and are unable to offer more tickets than the facility can house. Thank you for your understanding.”

Do children and babies need tickets?

Children 2 years or younger who are able to sit on an adult’s lap for the duration of the ceremony do not need a ticket. Please note that strollers are prohibited. Children older than 2 years must have a ticket. 

What if I do not claim all of my tickets during registration?

After your initial ticket registration, you can log back into your ceremony registration ticketing page to claim the remainder of your tickets. You can also delete any guest tickets that you no longer need. This frees up additional tickets for classmates on the waitlist for additional guest tickets. Access to the ticketing webpage will end on April 25, 2025.
