• Each graduate's family will receive tickets for a grouping of specific seats that accommodates 6 guests. These groupings will be randomly assigned, and will be bordered by unassigned seats to provide a buffer for physical distancing in compliance with the governor's Executive Order relating to venue capacity.
• The graduate does not need a ticket.
• Children under the age of 2 do not require a ticket as long as they are sitting in someone’s lap.
• Tickets will be given to the graduate at the end of rehearsal on June 1 as long as:
• All of the following items are returned: computers, charging cords, parking pass, books, athletic uniforms (unless your sport is still in season).   
• All of the student's financial obligations (fees from broken computers or damaged books) are paid in full.
• Graduates have turned in all required Service Hours.  
• Graduates have completed the Leadership in Action program.
• If you are receiving specialty seating or extra tickets due to your donation to ELEVATE, your student will receive an envelope with their name on it with tickets for these assigned seats. Please let your student know to look for this.
• No additional tickets are available for purchase.
• If you are in need of additional seats, you may reach out to families who will not use all 6 tickets; however, if you choose to utilize their additional ticket(s), the seats are assigned and the location will not change. This means the new seats may not be near your assigned section and will be with another family.
• Lake Norman Charter will not be responsible for any seat sharing or trading. 

• The ballpark has wheelchair accessible seating, which will be assigned as close as possible to family members. If your family will require accessible seating, please complete the Google form linked HERE no later than May 21. Late submissions will not be accepted.
