Graduation Tickets
Here's how to accept/transfer your tickets and be ready for the big day. Graduation tickets for Pasadena ISD will be distributed digitally to students via email from the University of Houston ticketing system, and each student will receive a link to accept and manage their tickets. Students can then transfer tickets to family and friends electronically, who will need to accept the transfer and create an account using the same email or phone number the ticket was sent to. Parents and guests must access their tickets on a mobile device and add them to a digital wallet (Apple or Google Wallet) for entry. Screenshots or printed copies will not be accepted, and one person may hold all tickets for a group to scan everyone in together upon arrival.
