Frequently Asked Questions

Can I purchase tickets the day of?

Spectator tickets without lunch and dinner can be purchased at the door.  We will have a limited number of extra lunches and dinners available but there is not a guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your request. 

​

Will I be able to choose who I sit with?

Yes. There will be open seating during the daytime session.  There will be reserved seating for dinner so please let us know if you have a preference of who you would like to be seated with.  If you are arriving after dinner there will be tables for you to choose from.

​

Where can I park?

Please plan to arrive early — this will be a full-day event at the UW Memorial Union’s Great Hall. Metered street parking is not a reliable option for all-day parking.

Recommended parking garages (all short walks to the venue):
• Lot 6 – Helen C. White Garage (600 N Park St)
• Lot 7 – Grainger Hall Garage (325 N Brooks St)
• Lot 46 – Lake & Johnson Ramp (301 N Lake St)
• Lot 83 – Fluno Center Garage (314 N Frances St)

Alternative (municipal city ramp): State Street Campus Garage (430 N Frances St)

Please allow extra time for parking and walking from your lot to the venue, especially during a full-day event.

The Graduate Hotel by Hilton is also located nearby just down the street.

​

The Hampton Inn and Suites is located within walking distance of campus.
