Paying for graduation tickets?
I’ve never paid for graduation tickets...at any education level.

Is this a Louisiana thing?




If it's anything like schools in Alabama, the tickets are free, but are limited to, say, 8 or 10 per student, depending on the size of the venue. There is a black market of people who are desperate to have seats for more than 8 family members, and will buy tickets from people who aren't using their full allotment.

Or in this case, buy fake tickets from someone.

Yep. So it's not a Louisiana thing, Alabama thing, or Florida thing. It's just a thing.

We had a limit as well. But those who weren’t using their allotment just gave them back to the school for distribution to families that needed more than 10.
