Mason Gross Class of 2020 & Class of 2021 Celebration

Registration closed on Friday, October 1st. Please see the below for information for ticketing & FAQs for Nicholas Music Center:

How many guests can I invite to the ceremony?
The maximum number of tickets allowed per registered alum is 4.

Will this informational email admit my guests to the ceremony?No. Your guests must have tickets in hand or will not have access to the ceremony.

How do I get tickets for my guests?
Call the Main Ticket Office at 848-932-7511 during our regular business hours to set up the tickets. Regular business hours are Monday–Friday 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m. and Saturday 12.–5:30 p.m. We’ll check that your name is on the list of registered alums provided by the Mason Gross Dean’s Office and how many tickets you have yet to order. Tickets must be ordered by 5:30 p.m. on Friday, October 22.

When you call, we’ll need your name, contact info including email address and the number of tickets you want to order (not to exceed 4). Please only order the number of tickets that you are planning to actually use.

How do I receive my tickets?
The tickets will be print-at-home and emailed to you. Each ticket requested will be sent to you, the alum, as a separate email so you can forward the tickets to your guests no matter how you need them broken down. Each print at home ticket can only be scanned once so you should keep track of which email you have forwarded to someone already. Each email will have a separate order number in the body of the email for reference. We will process tickets as promptly as possible and they are usually delivered within a half hour. If you do not see the ticket emails in your inbox, please check your Junk/Spam folder. If you still don’t have them, call the ticket office and we’ll look into it.

Can I have tickets held for pick up at the ceremony?
No, it is your responsibility to order and distribute the tickets to your guests. Tickets cannot be held at the door.
