Additional Ticket Request

All guests (including children) admitted to the Graduation Ceremony must be in possession of a ticket.  Each student wishing to graduate in person will receive a standard issue of TWO guest tickets (graduating students do not require a ticket).  If you do not require one or both of your tickets please indicate this on your Application to Graduate Form.

In addition, you may apply for an extra ticket(s) by filling the Additional Ticket Request Form and attaching it to the completed Application to Graduate form.  There is a fire safety limit on the number of seats we are permitted to allocate in the Elphinstone Hall itself.   In most cases the allocation will be in the main Hall, but if there is an unusually high volume of applications, those that apply after the published deadline may only receive tickets for the video link-up in the King’s College Auditorium.

If there are additional seats available, the requests for an extra guest ticket(s) will be put into a ballot, and the relevant number of request slips drawn at random.  If you are successful in the ballot, the tickets will be sent to you with your main allocation of tickets.

If you have requested additional ticket(s) and none are enclosed with your main allocation this means that you have been unsuccessful in the ballot.

If you find that, having asked for an extra ticket you no longer need it, please let the InfoHub know by letter or email (graduation@abdn.ac.uk) so that your request can be taken out of the ballot.  Equally, if you are successful in the ballot and discover that you do not need the ticket, please return it at once to the InfoHub so that it may be issued to another student on our waiting list.

If you do not receive your tickets by a week before graduation please contact the Registry on 01224 273505. Tickets for those with non-UK addresses can be collected from  Infohub - at the very latest, 3 hours prior to the ceremony. For morning ceremonies tickets can be collected up to 4pm the previous working day.
