Commencement to be Ticketed (But you can still watch)

Better start buttering up your senior friends. From an email from Dean Mike:

  • Each senior gets 10 tickets that they can pick up in their Wesbox on Saturday
  • These tickets let your guests into the seating area on Andrus Field starting at 8am on Sunday
  • Additional guests are welcome to view the ceremony from other areas of Andrus and Foss Hill
  • You can also watch the simulcast in Memorial Chapel, the 92, Crowell, or SC150

That's cool. I wasn't planning on taking seats from family anyway. I was planning on popping a squat on the Hill like back in the day.

Hi folks,

I'm looking to sell my extra 5 tickets for commencement. If you're interested, please email wes08tickets@gmail.com with a bid. The highest 5 bids will get the tickets, on Saturday itself.

Thanks for helping out a wee bit with my first month's rent!

it should say 8am instead of 8pm

Clearly my brain isn't working, so I'm going to ask my stupid question anyway - do we need tickets to sit on the Hill or what?

as long as I can watch from Foss Hill I'm good

yes, you can watch from foss without a ticket.

hartford courant is reporting that it is "closed." I talked to the reporter and he is looking into it, hopefully they'll correct it...

The Red & Black Cafe will act as a ticket exchange for graduation. If you have extra tickets or need extra tickets stop by the Red & Black Cafe.

good, let the courant report it as closed. that will make it less hectic for the non-senior Wesleyan students and staff to enjoy the ceremony

so uh, stupid question, but my dad is going cause he is a wes alum and i have no idea if that means that he can get tickets or not? i would feel bad if he couldn't go. does anyone know whether or not he and my mom can get a ticket? cause they are kinda in the middle of an 8 hour drive to his 35 reunion, which he only decided to go to because obama was speaking.

commencement is for graduating seniors and their families, not alums. he needs to get a ticket from a senior.

dont sell your tickets, that's really ridiculous. why dont you do something nice and give them away to people who want to see him instead of trying to make money off it.

Why not make a buck off Obama. He's only going to tax you to death if elected.

Okay but will Foss Hill be open to people who don't go to Wes? I want to bring a friend along with me
