Attendance and Ticketing

We look forward to celebrating this year’s commencement with family and friends in attendance. Please be aware, however, that both the commencement ceremony and reception are ticketed events with limited capacity. Those who wish to attend commencement should reach out to their graduate for ticketing availability and information.

Each graduate was offered the opportunity to RSVP for up to four tickets to distribute to invited guests to attend the ceremony in David Geffen Hall. For questions on ticket availability, families should contact their graduate. Tickets will be distributed via email to each graduate’s Juilliard email address in the days leading up to the ceremony, and graduates are responsible for sharing these tickets with their invited guests.

Following the ceremony, all ticketed guests and graduates are invited to come together for a post-commencement reception.

Hotels and Transportation

Family and friends attending commencement have many options for hotel accommodations throughout New York City as Lincoln Center is centrally located and easily accessible via public transit. If you prefer to stay near Lincoln Center, many travel websites, such as Hotels.com or Kayak.com, allow you to search for hotels by proximity to the campus.
