Seniors who have applied to graduate will receive an email from Ticketmaster the first week of May with instructions for how to claim guest tickets for Commencement weekend events. Tickets are required for guest entry to the following events and must be claimed by Wednesday, May 15, at 5 p.m., Mountain Time: 

• Saturday, May 18: Baccalaureate Ceremony, Shove Memorial Chapel: Two tickets per graduate  
• Sunday, May 19: Commencement Ceremony, Ed Robson Arena: Seven guest tickets per graduate (five in reserved seating, two standing room only). Graduates will select specific guest seats in Ed Robson Arena on a first-come, first-served basis. 

All Commencement weekend tickets will be distributed via Colorado College's Ticketmaster system. Please read the information below thoroughly before claiming tickets to ensure a successful process. 

Graduates do not need a ticket, but they do need to claim all complimentary tickets on behalf of their guests. To claim tickets, graduates must first create an account or log into their existing account at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege.  

Students must claim all desired guest tickets in one transaction on Ticketmaster (you cannot go back and claim more tickets at a later time).  

Graduates must claim all guest tickets by Wednesday, May 15, at 5 p.m., Mountain Time. 
 
After claiming tickets, graduates will then transfer those tickets directly to their guests using the Colorado College Ticketmaster app. 

Please Note:

• There are no paper tickets for Commencement. A Ticketmaster account will be required for 1) all graduates claiming guest tickets; and 2) all guests receiving transferred tickets, in order to access the tickets. You can create a free account at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege anytime. 
• Colorado College Ticketmaster is separate from the main Ticketmaster system. Do not use the main Ticketmaster app. Instead, access at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege. 
• We recommend adding your tickets to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay account for a smooth process at entry. 

Ticket Claiming and Transfer Instructions

1. Visit am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege 
2. Click “Sign In/Sign Up” in the upper right hand corner to create an account, or to log in to your existing account. This is the same ticketing system used for hockey events in Ed Robson Arena, so if you have used the system for this purpose before, you may already have an account. 
3. After creating an account or signing in, click “Buy Tickets” in the upper menu bar. Note: While the link says “Buy,” tickets are complimentary for all Commencement events. 
4. Select the events you want to attend. Graduates, you will have the option to claim all guest tickets for Commencement and Baccalaureate. 
   Note: Accessible seating is limited. ADA and limited mobility seating in Ed Robson Arena is available on a first-come, first-served basis and goes quickly. Stairways to lower-level arena seating are steep; students should consider this as they reserve tickets for guests with limited mobility and/or accommodation needs and reserve tickets as early as possible if accessible seating is needed.  
5. Graduates will transfer tickets to specific guests by entering their guest’s email address. Note: One guest may hold tickets for multiple people as long as they enter the venue at the same time. 
6. Guests will be notified that they have received a transferred ticket via email. The email will contain a link to the Colorado College Ticketmaster system and further instructions. 
7. Guests will then need to create a free account in the Colorado College Ticketmaster system to access their tickets. 
8. Guests may also transfer tickets to another guest if they choose. 

Ticket Troubleshooting and Will Call 

Will-call will be available at the main box office of Ed Robson Arena located within the main entrance at the corner of E. Cache La Poudre St. and N. Tejon St. A ticket troubleshooting station will be available outside the main box office.
