How CFISD Graduation Tickets Work: Step-by-Step for Families
For many families, one of the most important—and sometimes confusing—parts of graduation week is securing tickets. CFISD uses the Hometown Ticketing system, which allows guests to reserve specific seats in advance.
According to the Hometown Ticketing guide, families must:
- Click “Get Tickets” and select their graduate’s ceremony
- Enter a passcode by selecting “Have a passcode?”
- Use a unique code combining the student ID and birthdate to unlock ticket access
Once inside the system, guests can:
- Search by section or zoom into the seating map to select available “blue” seats
- Choose seats together, if available, before checking out
- Review selections and complete checkout to confirm tickets
Tickets are not reserved until checkout is complete, and if seats are taken during the process, families may need to reselect options. After purchase, tickets are emailed directly to the user.
For those needing accommodations, the system also includes a special needs seating request option, where families can submit a form and be contacted directly for assistance.
What to Expect at the Berry Center
With multiple ceremonies scheduled each day, preparation is key to ensuring a smooth experience.
- Seating and Tickets: All tickets are reserved by section, row, and seat number. Guests should review their digital tickets ahead of arrival.
- Parking: Parking maps are available through the Berry Center, and early arrival is recommended due to high attendance.
- Young Children: Children under age 2 do not require a ticket, offering flexibility for families attending with infants or toddlers.
- Concessions: Food, drinks, and coffee will be available for purchase throughout the venue.
Safety Guidelines and Prohibited Items
To maintain a safe environment for all attendees, the Berry Center enforces strict entry policies.
Prohibited items include:
- Weapons (including concealed and open carry)
- Umbrellas
- Outside food and beverages
- Balloons, flowers, and gifts
- Strollers
- Signs, banners, noise makers, and airhorns
- Professional camera lenses
A clear bag policy is also in place, and all items are subject to inspection.
