Guest Information

• Seating and Ticketing

  All guests will be accommodated and there is no need to reserve guest seating. Wheelchair-accessible seating (with room for one companion per guest using a wheelchair) will be available throughout the surrounding concourse level. The 2 rows in front of every designated wheelchair location will be reserved for other guests who want to sit near the area. Ushers will be on-hand to direct guests as needed. Please note that the arena's large video screens will be in use during commencement.

  All guests must present a ticket to enter Pauley Pavilion that day. Graduates received emails in March and April detailing the process for securing and transferring digital guest tickets. Anyone 2 years old and under does not need a ticket, but children 3 and up need tickets. Once someone exits the venue, they cannot re-enter. Note that one guest can present tickets for multiple guests as long as the entire party is present at the same time.

  Guests can arrive starting at 10:30 a.m. and doors to Pauley Pavilion will open at 11 a.m. All guests should arrive at Pauley Pavilion by 12:20 p.m. at the latest for a 12:30 ceremony start. Guests will line up starting at the North entrance (across the entrance of Lot 7) of Pauley Pavilion and be directed to an appropriate entrance from there. There is an ADA wheelchair-accessible entrance for guests on the Northeast side of Pauley Pavilion. Note: Graduates will enter Pauley Pavilion using a different entrance, so guests must have their own tickets with them to enter the venue.

  There is no food for purchase inside Pauley Pavilion and food items cannot be brought in (unless medically necessary or for young children), so guests should plan accordingly.

  Please review this list of items that are prohibited in Pauley Pavilion.
