[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m another one who is surprised that the sibling would not have an automatic ticket.[/quote]
??? Graduations always have a very limited number of tickets and siblings are never considered. Each graduate usually gets 3 or 4 tickets, no exceptions, because space is so limited at the venue. There might be a mechanism in place for people to donate unused tickets, but without the tickets, families show up with every sibling, grandparent, aunt, uncle, and cousin. Even my 5th grader had a limit of 3 tickets to his graduation this year.[/quote]

Pp means that OP should automatically give sibling a ticket.  I disagree.  I think sibling would rather stay home and probably has already attended many of sibling’s events before.  [/quote]

I don't care if the sibling does or doesn't want to go; in our family, the siblings go.  We had a similar issue recently when my oldest graduated from college.  His brothers went and all of the grandparents stayed at our house and streamed it live on our TV.[/quote]
Way to make everyone unhappy. Congrats, you maximized the misery.[/quote]

LOL, you seem to think you know more than you actually do.  My son graduated in the winter and all the grandparents were thrilled to stay in our warm family room to watch the graduation rather than have to park far away from the graduation site and walk to it in the cold.  My younger sons were likewise happy to attend and cheer their brother on.  Don't assume that what would be your preference is everyone else's.  In other words, get over yourself.[/quote]
