Ticketing Information

All seating in Hyland Arena is general admission, open seating.
Reserving Tickets
From February 6 to March 31, each graduate is eligible for up to four guaranteed tickets. They may then request additional tickets through the waitlist option.
Tickets can be reserved online at the links above or through the J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts Box Office. The box office is available over the phone by calling (636) 949-4433, or in person inside the J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts.
Graduates must register themselves. A parent/friend cannot reserve tickets under their account.
Box Office Account
To reserve tickets, you must set-up an account with our box office, based out of the J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts. We do not allow “guest checkout” because we would then be unable to fix your order if issues arose.
Password and Log-In Issues
You cannot use special characters in your password. Please be aware of this as you go to register for your account.
Password Reset Issues
The reset password email occasionally goes to peoples’ junk folders. Please check there before contacting the box office.
If Issues Persist
If issues persist with accessing your account, please contact the box office or fill out this form (Will Call Ticket Allocation Form) and we will switch your order to Will Call.
Offer Code
Your offer code will be your Lindenwood University email address. This is separate from your box office account. It will only work for the ceremony you are assigned to. If you have issues, please contact the box office.
Waitlist Details
Waitlist tickets are not guaranteed. Waitlisted tickets are available as long as space remains, and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Late Reservations
Beginning April 1, anybody who has not yet registered for their commencement tickets will be guaranteed only two tickets per person.
Delivery Options
Three delivery options are offered for commencement tickets. Delivery can be changed to Will Call at any time using this form: Will Call Ticket Allocation Form
Digital
Digital tickets can be utilized on a mobile device, either accessed through a guest’s box office account, or on their Apple/Google Wallet. They cannot be printed at home or screenshotted or they will be considered invalid.
We do not recommend utilizing this method if guests in your party are not technologically-adept.
Forwarding
After the order is completed, a graduate will have their digital tickets in their box office account. They can then select the tickets and choose “forward” to send it to the email addresses of their guests. Each guest will be required to create an account to accept the forwarded tickets and access them. Waitlisted tickets cannot be forwarded until after they have been approved (April 1).
Barcode Delay
To prevent issues, barcodes will not appear on digital tickets until the week of the commencement ceremony. At that time, guests can add them to their digital wallets.
Will Call
Will Call tickets can be picked up in person from the J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts Box Office during its operating hours. Ticket pick up begins on April 1.
Allocate Tickets to Guests
If you would like to allocate Will Call tickets to individual guests so they can pick them up separately, please fill out this form: Will Call Ticket Allocation Form
You can also use the form to allocate digital tickets to these guests at Will Call, and we can switch the delivery for you.
A $5 shipping fee is incurred for each order sent via mail. Tickets may be mailed to the off-campus address provided when checking out for your order. We do not ship tickets to on-campus addresses. The deadline to have your tickets mailed is March 31. Tickets will begin shipping on April 1.
Ticket Arrival
Tickets typically take 1-3 weeks to arrive, but sometimes longer. If your tickets do not arrive by the end of April, please reach out to the box office on May 1 and we will void the old tickets and put the new ones in Will Call.
