Guests and Tickets for Commencement:
Two of the most common questions that we receive are “How many guests can we bring?” and “Do they need tickets?”  There is no guest limit and they do not need tickets.   The MassMutual is open arena seating.   We will provide more information about when doors open for guests, where to park, etc. once we get closer.
