At Nottingham we have 8 ceremonies over 5 days in July and three
ceremonies over 2 days in December. Each ceremony is for around 400
students and up to 2 guests each. We charge £10 for guest tickets,
which inlcudes coffee/tea before the ceremony, a copy of the
commemorative programme and sandwiches/cakes/strawberries after the
ceremony. There is no charge for graduands.
Tickets are issued about a month before the ceremony, once
application forms and payments have been received and processed. Students
are given their seat number when they register on the day. There is an area of
seating reserved for guests, but no seat/ticket numbers.
Graduands who have registered are checked off against the programme
and any who have not registered are crossed off the reader's copy. We
do not check if graduands are in the correct seat (but we do check
that seats which should be empty are). As graduands file on to the
platform, the marshall checks that they are who they should be.
Hope this is helpful.
