Daughter unable to attend her graduation as no tickets left (second thread)

[mildlyfried]

My daughter cannot attend her graduation as major Uni only offers tickets on a 'first come first served' basis. We are very upset and think the Uni should have ensured there were enough ceremonies/capacity for every graduate. This is the second thread.

3 emails is repeatedly

What is the story?

Adult didn’t respond to invite promptly despite said invite being crystal clear re the process and the alternative date? Whereas said adult’s friends all did read the invite and responded accordingly.

3 emails in total, just one to say register your interest, second to say registered and a third to confirm the place. The first stage was only one email, not repeated emails going over the same thing.

yes because your child accepted!!

I am talking about repeated reminders to those that had NOT responded

My niece Lancaster.
missed out on first allocation due to same reason as your dd but she’s just got allocation on the waiting list

did your dd get the same @mildlyfried ?

@Thatsquark thank you. That is good to hear. No we are still waiting. The results are out on 9th July which may change things. Fingers crossed.

My neighbour’s son got tickets on the wait list. She is over the moon!

Did you score any @mildlyfried ? She said that the university definitely didn’t add extra.

They obviously could have graduated with their friends, either by OP's daughter getting her act together or the whole group opting for the November date. One of my children graduated from their Oxford college with their whole year group by opting for a graduation in May the following year.

Yes, thank you we got tickets

Christ this barely warranted the first thread, never mind a second…

Great news. I would say enjoy but, TBH, graduations are pretty dull.

And on the same day as her housemates?

yes

And no extra ceremony?

so all fine in the end!

So Lancaster university isn't the spawn of the devil after all.

You don't know anything about it

You did seem to give the impression on your last thread and this thread that you did very much think this about the university.

however a distant memory now i suppose with tickets in hand. Enjoy! Loads say it’s not enjoyable, well I loved it

Enjoy the graduation OP! So glad it worked out 🙂
