[quote=Anonymous][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]

I agree, it's a big deal in our family for siblings to support each other for big events (recitals, tournaments and yes, graduation).[/quote]

NP   Hope you make the older siblings attend the younger's graduation!  My DH attended his two sibs but,they didn't because they were busy ( i know they had jobs but, still he had to sit through their high school and college and I don't think they went to either![/quote]

Yes, this is very important - support goes both ways![/quote]
