Graduates do not need tickets, but all guests over the age of 2 will require a ticket to enter the arena; children 2 and younger do not require a ticket and will be considered a lap child. 

Please transfer the tickets you claim to a member of your family, because you will be entering the arena through different doors.

Doors open at 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Guests should enter through the main entrance doors at 400 W. Kilbourn Ave. and should be sure to have their graduation tickets downloaded on their phones in advance.
