• A Ticketmaster account will be required for 1) all graduates claiming guest tickets; 2) all guests receiving transferred tickets, in order to access the tickets; and 3) all guests purchasing Class Celebration tickets. You can create a free account at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege anytime.
• Colorado College Ticketmaster is separate from the main Ticketmaster system. Do not use the main Ticketmaster App. Instead, access at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege.

COMMENCEMENT AND BACCALAUREATE (ED ROBSON ARENA)
Graduates do not need a ticket, but they do need to claim all complimentary tickets on behalf of their guests. This ticket-claiming process must happen in one transaction on Ticketmaster (you cannot go back and claim more tickets at a later time). Graduates may claim up to seven tickets each for Commencement and Baccalaureate (five in reserved seating, and two standing room only).

There is no deadline to claim tickets, but graduates will select specific guest seats in Ed Robson Arena on a first-come, first-served basis. To claim tickets, graduates must first create an account or log into their existing account at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege. Once claimed, students will transfer tickets directly to their guests.

CLASS CELEBRATION (ANTLERS HOTEL)
Graduates will claim their own complimentary ticket. Parents, families, and guests may purchase unlimited tickets ($25/person, children under 12 are free and do not require a ticket) directly at am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege. Note, you must create an account to purchase tickets.

 

Ticket Claiming and Transfer Instructions

1. Visit am.ticketmaster.com/coloradocollege

2. Click “Sign In/Sign Up” in the upper righthand corner to create an account, or to log into your existing account. (This is the same ticketing system used for hockey events in Ed Robson Arena, so if you have used the system for this purpose before, you may already have an account).

3. After creating an account or signing in, click “Buy Tickets” in the upper menu bar. Note: while the link says “Buy,” tickets are complimentary for all events except the Commencement Dance, which is $25 for all guests of graduates ages 12 and over.

4. Select the events you want to attend. (Graduates, you will have the option to claim all guest tickets for Commencement and Baccalaureate, as well as your own ticket for the Class Celebration. Guests, your only option will be to purchase Class Celebration tickets). Note: ADA and limited mobility seating in Ed Robson Arena is available as part of the ticket claiming process.

5. Graduates will transfer tickets to specific guests by entering their guest’s email address. Note: one guest may hold tickets for multiple people, as long as they enter the venue at the same time.

6. Guests will be notified that they have received a transferred ticket via email. The email will contain a link to the Colorado College Ticketmaster system and further instructions.

7. Guests will then need to create a free account in the Colorado College Ticketmaster system to access their tickets.

8. Guests may also transfer tickets to another guest if they choose.
