 How far in advance should you arrive at the venue?

We will open the doors one hour before the ceremony begins, so we kindly ask that you arrive on time.

• Are these spaces enabled for people with reduced mobility and/or pushchairs?

Yes.

Yes.

• How do I register?

We will inform you of the exact process via the usual channels once registration opens. 

• Are children and babies counted as guests?

Yes, due to limited capacity.

• Can I bring more people than the established number of guests?

No, due to limited capacity, we are unable to increase the number of guests.

• I still don’t know if they will be able to accompany me. Can I confirm the number of attendees later?

Each registered student is assigned their own guests. You will not have to confirm the number of people accompanying you. We will send you the tickets, in QR format, before the event.

The QR code on each ticket is for single use only, i.e. it will be scanned at the entrance and from that moment on it will be unusable.

• If a student attends with fewer guests, can other students use their places?

As a registered student, based on venue capacity, you have been allocated a specific number of tickets, which will be sent before the event, so that you can give them to whoever you choose.

• Do guests have to identify themselves?

No. As a registered student, you will receive tickets with a QR code, which will be sent to you before the event.

The QR code on each ticket is for single use only, i.e. it will be scanned at the entrance and from that moment on it will be unusable.

• What are the scheduled dates for registration and confirmation of attendance?

A few weeks before the ceremony. We will inform you via the usual channels once registration opens. 

• Where and when can I collect the tickets?

The tickets are digital. A few days before the event you will receive the tickets (yours and those of your guests) at the email address you have registered. They will have a single-use QR code which they must scan at the entrance to the venue.

Approximately one hour.

Approximately 1,200 people.

• What happens if I don’t confirm my attendance but still attend the event?

If you wish to attend, we recommend that you register on the platform on the dates indicated. If you come on the day of the event without having previously registered, you will only be able to access the venue if the capacity is not full because a confirmed colleague has not attended. This scenario is quite unlikely.
