Requesting Extra Tickets

This year's graduating class is larger than past years, which is why the ticket allocation is limited. In addition, due to an overwhelming demand for extra tickets, a maximum of one extra ticket will be allotted through a randomized lottery. More details about the randomized lottery will be announced in spring of 2026.Tickets should not be bought or sold. 

You will be able to verify if you received the extra ticket when you log in to your Agganis Ticketmaster account using your Berklee email (details forthcoming in early April on how to access your tickets).

Both the concert and ceremony will be livestreamed for guests unable to attend in person.

Accessing Your Tickets

Please note that, due to the size of the 2026 graduating class and our venue capacity, there are limited extra tickets available for the concert and ceremony. If you would like additional tickets, please ask other graduates for any commencement ceremony tickets they will not be using.
