GUEST TICKET DISTRIBUTION Online distribution of commencement guest tickets will begin Tuesday, March 24 through Thursday, March 26 on the GoAztecs student site. Each college ceremony will be assigned a specific date and time within this three-day window when commencement guest tickets become available to claim. Graduates must create a GoAztecs account using their SDSU.edu email to claim guest tickets. If graduates already have a GoAztecs account from claiming Aztec football or basketball tickets, they do not need to create a new one. To confirm their account, they can email the Viejas Arena Ticket Office at [email protected] with their full name, SDSU email address, and college. Graduates should confirm or create their GoAztecs account before Monday, March 23. On Monday, March 16, graduates will receive a preliminary email containing a special link to GoAztecs.com to claim their commencement guest tickets beginning at their assigned date and time within the three-day window. Access to tickets is available only through this emailed link and cannot be accessed from the main GoAztecs homepage. Graduates must log in to the GoAztecs student site using the provided link to claim their guest tickets. Important: Graduates are not limited to this three-day period. Once their college’s assigned distribution time has opened, graduates may continue to claim their initial allotment of Commencement guest tickets online through Thursday, April 30 at 4:00 p.m. Distribution dates, times, quantities, and the claim deadline will be posted at www.sdsu.edu/commencement/tickets, along with other important ticketing information. ADDITIONAL GUEST TICKET DISTRIBUTION Additional guest tickets are not guaranteed but may be available after the initial distribution. Starting Monday, May 4, each ceremony will have a designated date and time when additional tickets are available to claim. The schedule will be posted on the commencement website at www.sdsu.edu/commencement/tickets. Note: For ceremonies with reserved seating, additional tickets may not be near the graduate’s original allotment and could be scattered. For general admission ceremonies, seating is first-come, first-served in most sections.
