We will review all ceremonies when the bookings close and if there is availability will reopen so that additional tickets can be bought on a first come first serve basis. 

Please be aware that this will be on a ceremony by ceremony basis and may close before any deadline dependent on remaining availability.

As we can’t guarantee that additional tickets will be available, you should confirm your own attendance and up to three guest tickets as soon as possible.

If either you or one of your guests requires the support of a professional carer or support worker in order to attend the ceremony, please advise us of this when you book your tickets. We will be able to provide one additional ticket per student or guest requiring this support and this will be free of charge. Please note that we will ask for evidence of professional carer/support worker status, before issuing any additional carer/support worker tickets.

We welcome children to our graduation ceremonies, and they will need their own guest ticket.  Children will require their own ticket even if they are small enough not to require their own seat. This is to ensure we do not exceed the maximum fire safety capacities of our venues, which are based on the number of people who will be in the spaces, rather than the number of seats used.

Yes. All students must confirm their attendance via the online booking system, even if they are not requesting any guest tickets.
