Tickets

Eligible candidates will receive an email to their NYU NetID email address beginning the week of March 13 with a unique link to reserve their Commencement tickets. Tickets must be reserved by Friday, May 5.

All-University Commencement Tickets

Graduating students, families, and guests must have a Commencement ticket to enter Yankee Stadium. Tickets must be reserved by Friday, May 5 at 5:00 p.m. ET.

All tickets will be electronic and must be downloaded on a smartphone. No screenshots or printouts of tickets will be accepted. Candidates should transfer guest tickets to their guests once the electronic tickets are received.

Candidate Tickets

All candidates who plan to attend Commencement must reserve one candidate ticket to enter Yankee Stadium. During the ceremony, graduates will be seated on the Field Level in sections according to their school.

Guest Tickets

Candidates can reserve up to two guest tickets. (Guest ticket reservations must be placed by the candidate, not by the guests themselves.)

Guest seating at Yankee Stadium is general admission on the Main, Terrace, and Grandstand Levels.

Extra Tickets

Candidates can enter a lottery for one extra guest ticket during the ticket reservation process. Those who are selected in the lottery will receive one additional guest ticket. The lottery will take place in early May. Any unclaimed tickets will continue to be offered by lottery until all are distributed. The availability of extra tickets is not guaranteed.

Reserving and Accessing Tickets

Eligible candidates will receive an email to their NYU NetID email address beginning the week of March 13 with a unique link to reserve tickets.

Candidates for May 2023, and graduates of September 2022 and January 2023, who do not have access to NYU Home will have to activate or reset their NetIDs by going to NYU Start and selecting “Activate NetID” or “Reset Password.” For assistance with NYUHome access, contact the IT Service Desk at 212-998-3333 or AskITS@nyu.edu.

Please note:

If you submitted your ticket reservation and need to change it, email commencement@nyu.edu.
If a candidate withdraws their graduation application or becomes ineligible for graduation per the Office of the Registrar, they will become ineligible to reserve tickets, and any submitted ticket reservation will be canceled.
If a candidate or guest requires accommodations, including sign language interpretation or wheelchair-accessible seating, visit the Accessibility page. For guest tickets, review the instructions on the Accessibility Request for Guests form and submit the form.

Prohibition of Ticket Sales

NYU strictly prohibits the direct or indirect sale or auction of All-University Commencement tickets. Tickets are free and available only to eligible candidates in the Class of 2023 and their guests. Ticket(s) may not be used for advertising, promotion (including contests, giveaways, or sweepstakes), or other trade or commercial purposes. Students engaging in such activities, as well as any other activity that disrupts the administration of the ceremony and/or violates the Yankee Stadium Security Policies or any NYU student conduct policy, will be subject to NYU disciplinary sanctions, including without limitation the delayed issuance of a degree or diploma. The Yankees and NYU reserve the right to investigate violations of the License applicable to NYU's use of Yankee Stadium.

School Ceremony Tickets

Most NYU schools will provide tickets for their individual school ceremonies. School ceremony tickets must be ordered through the candidate’s school, and the tickets will be distributed by the individual schools.
