Ticketing & MarchingOrder

MarchingOrder

Sonoma State University partners with MarchingOrder to assist with reading graduate names at the Commencement ceremony. Graduates will receive an email from commencement@reply-to.sonoma.edu via marchingorder.com. Keep an eye out for this important email, which will provide information on how to register for their Commencement ceremony. Each graduate will be provided a unique link to register. The deadline to complete this is Monday, April 22.

Ticketing

Tickets are only needed inside Weill Hall. Each graduate is allotted two tickets inside Weill Hall for their friends and family. Graduates will receive information via email on how to claim their tickets online on Tuesday, April 2. Tickets can be claimed online until Monday, May 13 at 5 p.m. and will require login with SSU credentials.

Once claimed, tickets will be sent via email as a PDF document. This PDF can be forwarded to your friends and family for easy access. Each ticket will include a unique barcode that can only be used once. It's crucial to emphasize that multiple prints of the same ticket will not be valid. Please ensure that guests are aware of this to avoid any inconvenience.

There is unlimited seating outside on the Weill Lawn. Tickets are not needed for outdoor seating. The lawn will have a “front row” view of what takes place on the stage via the Jumbotron located outside the hall, and the state-of-the-art sound system will ensure each graduate’s name will be heard by all. Folding chairs will be available on the lawn for seating on a first-come, first-served basis.

All ticketed guests must be in their seats 15 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony or their tickets will be forfeited.

We will also have a standby line. Your guests can choose to wait in the standby line to fill unclaimed seats inside Weill Hall. Please note there is no guarantee that guests in the standby line will be able to sit in the hall, as open seats are filled as available, first come, first served.
