GRADUATION: Ticket Swap Info
As you know, each graduating student receives four tix for the CU commencement Wednesday morning and four tix for the J-school Graduation Wednesday afternoon. The students themselves do not need tickets, so they can bring up to four guests for each ceremony. These are two kinds of tickets for the morning and the afternoon.
Each year, we set up a paper-based ticket swap system. This year, we are doing a web-based ticket swap. If you have tickets to offer or need extra tickets, just post below. If you want to get or give tickets, as appropriate, please contact the relevant folks below.

Willing to pay a modest fee for a ticket, or perhaps engage in some sort of bartering (in the form of beers, or help moving a cumbersome piece of furniture). Or you could just have my eternal gratitude–useful for a host of future favors and random flattering compliments. Call it if you gots it: (718) 986-3102

I need one extra ticket so that my husband can see me graduate. Since he’ll help pay for this school well into the future, I think it’s the least I can do. Please let me know if you have an extra - thanks!!

Howdy,
Anyone who wants ‘em can have all four of my CU tickets and probably two, possibly three of my J-school ticks–have to check with my friends and family to see if anyone wants to go to that one.
Send me an e-mail if you are interested.

On behalf of a friend:
Hi,
I’m a recent alum of the j-school and am looking to get rid of a graduation gown I purchased but did not use. It’s for a man or woman between 5′9″ and 5′11″. It’s yours for $35 — far less than the $50 at the bookstore. Feel free to email me at wdw2104@columbia.edu.

Anyone who wants ‘em can have my 4 CU tix. Just email me…

just found out I may actually graduate. as part of work release, I’d like my parole officer to come…I could use 3 tickets for either ceremony.
the usual promises for a trade I do have about two years worth of j-school junk in my locker. but i guess i can do better than that.
Comment by David — May 4, 2007 @ 2:49 am
Jesse Ellison: Do you still need a ticket? I have one to spare, but I couldn’t figure out how to respond to you directly.
