Guest tickets
Your guest tickets
The tickets supplied by Ede and Ravenscroft are e-tickets. Each ticket is unique to you and your guests and is non-transferable. Printed tickets are not provided.
Graduands are asked to be seated in Central Hall 45 minutes before the start of your ceremony. Your guests are invited into Central Hall 20 minutes before the start of the ceremony.
You can request a maximum of two guest tickets initially. Additional tickets may be available if space remains after registration has closed. These are available on a first-come, first-served basis on the Ede and Ravenscroft academic hub. Additional tickets for Central Hall are not available on the day.
Guests with children
For health and safety purposes, we are required to have an accurate count of guest numbers, including babies and children, in all of our main spaces.
As such, all guests including babies and children (even if they are sitting on an adult's knee) require a ticket.
Graduands should include any babies or children when requesting the total number of tickets that they would like for their ceremony.
Visa requirements for guests
If you'd like to bring guests who require immigration permission to enter the UK, the Graduation Office can produce a letter explaining this as their purpose.
Letters can be obtained through the Your Study page on e:vision once you have registered to attend your ceremony. (Click the 'Graduation Ceremony Visa Letter Request' link at the bottom of the graduation section.)
The University's Immigration Advice Service are happy to deal with specialist queries about visa requirements.
