[quote=Anonymous]OP, as some said here, it's not always easy to get that many tickets at this time of year at a reasonable price. Also, if there are older kids, sometimes the schools run through the end of the day and not all kids can get out before the last bell.

That said, I wouldn't expect someone to pick up my family at that hour. I might ask for a ride as well as include "we can take a taxi if needed."

If they take car service, then I would spell out where they will be sleeping when they arrive. If you have little ones, then perhaps emphasize trying to keep it as quiet as possible when they arrive.

Also, if we were not expending money (and hassles) on travel, DH would probably offer to cover the cab cost.

Look, OP, my SIL and family used to arrive midnight and later for years before some big holidays. Our DCs were toddlers in the beginning and DH and I used to pray that they would not wake them up when they noisily walked up the stairs to the attic guest BRs. It was frustrating that they would only consider what worked best for their schedule, not also ours, but that feeling was momentary and we generally had a good family time. FWIW, we also traveled to them, but not late night arrivals.[/quote]
