Additional Ceremony Tickets

Additional Ceremony Tickets

Graduands will automatically receive, by mail, 2 guest tickets for their graduation ceremony. Additional tickets may become available for a ceremony and these are distributed via a random ballot which is held six days prior to the date of graduation.

The number of additional tickets available is often very limited therefore please note that not all requests can be met and your application may be unsuccessful.

In the interests of maintaining equity for all graduands all applications for each ceremony are treated equally in the selection process and therefore special circumstances are not included as part of the selection process.

Process

Tickets will be allocated and can be collected at the check-in for the relevant ceremony. Please note that tickets allocated via the ballot will not be sent out but must be collected when you check-in for your ceremony.

You will be notified by e-mail (to the email supplied in your request) if you have been successful or unsuccessful in the ballot. Confirmation of when the ballot for a ceremony has taken place will appear on the Graduation website.

If you wish to apply to enter the ballot for additional tickets please complete and submit the form below.

If you wish to change your application once submitted please submit again. The latest submission will be taken as your final request.

If additional tickets are required for assistants/helpers to disabled guests or students please contact the graduations team and do not request these via the ballot.

Please note the following:

  1. A maximum of 3 tickets can be ordered
  2. Only one request will be accepted. If multiple requests are received only the last one will be valid.
  3. If an invalid matriculation number is submitted the application will deemed to be invalid.
  4. If successfully selected in the ballot you will receive the full number of tickets requested.
  5. If tickets are not available in the section of the hall selected tickets for an alternative section will be issued.
  6. All requests must be made through this facility and requests cannot be made via e-mail or telephone.
  7. Tickets are the property of the University of Edinburgh and the University reserves the right of admittance to the McEwan Hall. If tickets are no longer required they must be returned to the Registry for redistribution. Additional tickets are free and have no monetary value.
  8. You will receive an email message if you have been unsuccessful approximately 1 week prior to your ceremony. If you have any queries please contact Registry
