Commencement ticket redemption instructions
Please read the following information regarding ticket redemption to your specific Commencement ceremony.
You will use your full PID number to access a promotional code specific to tickets for your ceremony. We strongly encourage you to have your parents/guests redeem the tickets and NOT the graduates. Provide your parents/guests with your full PID number and forward them the link and instructions below.
However, if you have guests from different households using the tickets, then the student should redeem the tickets, and transfer each ticket to separate parents/guests.
The promotional code is a “one-time use” code that can only be accessed with your PID number for one single transaction. Once you complete the redemption process, you will not be permitted to access the site again. There is a maximum of two tickets per graduate.
ALL tickets will be in a mobile format and will only be validated on a mobile device. Mobile tickets printed on paper will NOT be accepted as valid tickets.
Redeeming your tickets
Enter your PID number where it says "Enter Promotional Code," and hit Go. Then, follow the detailed instructions below.
- Click on Find Tickets next to the event Friday AM Graduate Ceremony
- Select the quantity of tickets (up to two) with the ‘+’ sign.
- Click Add to Cart, then click Check Out.
- Click Create Account below Log In if you have never used our online system before.
- If you, as the graduate, attempt to create a new account with your ohio.edu email, the system will deny you since your ohio.edu email already exists in your student account in our ticketing system.
--Simply use a non ohio.edu email when creating your new account.
- If you, as the graduate, attempt to create a new account with your ohio.edu email, the system will deny you since your ohio.edu email already exists in your student account in our ticketing system.

- Once you have created your account, click Next to advance to the Payment Information screen (do not worry, there is NO CHARGE).
--We strongly encourage you to choose Text My Tickets by clicking the box next to “Yes, also text my tickets via text message” and entering your mobile number.
--If you do not choose this option, your tickets will be sent to you as a link in the email you provide in your account information.
- Once you have created your account, click Next to advance to the Payment Information screen (do not worry, there is NO CHARGE).

Saving your mobile tickets
You will receive a confirmation email about your order and your tickets will follow either in a separate email (if you did not choose to have them texted to you) OR in a text message to your mobile phone.
- Click on the link in the text or email, and a menu screen will appear with the option to Add to Apple Wallet or Google Pay for each ticket.
--We strongly recommend you do this immediately, to prevent you from losing your tickets (i.e., by deleting the email or text message). - Our mobile tickets, once they are added to an Apple Wallet or Google Pay, are NFC compatible. Our new tickets scanners can validate your tickets without scanning a barcode, so this is the reason we ask you to add your tickets to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
- If you do not have Apple Wallet or Google Pay, you can download a PDF of your tickets. On the first page (menu), after clicking on the link, scroll down below the tickets and click Download PDF.
PLEASE DO NOT print any mobile barcodes (QR codes) on paper. They will NOT be accepted for admission into the ceremony.
