Tickets for high school graduation are in demand, and some students have resorted to selling their extra tickets for pretty steep prices.

Cap, check. Gown, check. Extra graduation ticket? Cha ching! That’s kind of how the list is going for some high school students.

An upset parent sent Bay News 9 posts from New Port Richey River Ridge High School students from Facebook that read: “EXTRA GRADUATION TICKET 25$ !!!” and “2 RR GRAD tickets. $30 – FCFS.”

The high school hands out four tickets, plus two more, if students attend graduation practice. But for some it’s not enough.

“This kid was kind of just giving his away for free because he didn’t need them but, then this girl was selling hers for $60,” student Tia Gallahan said.

While all but a few Pasco County schools hold their graduation ceremonies is the spacious USF Sun Dome, River Ridge holds graduation in the school gym with overflow seating in the auditorium. More than 300 students are graduating from River Ridge, and about 4,400 are graduating district-wide.

Most students said they mainly had an issue with the price. Others say they have to make money somehow.

“The prices are a little outrageous, but you know we’re teenagers, we've got to make a little cash,” student Jordan Duckworth said.

One parents says she found herself scrambling for an extra ticket on Facebook.

“We personally were begging for a couple of extra tickets because we have family in town,” parent Sandy Guthrie said.

River Ridge school officials say it’s unfortunate students are selling their extra tickets and that it would prefer if families would reach out to them if they needed more, but that’s not always going to do much good. Most schools set hard limits.

“Typically, a high school allots a certain number of tickets to each student because there’s only a certain number of seats,” Pasco School District spokesperson Linda Cobbe said.

Bay News 9 took to social media to see how often this goes on, and it’s a lot. Some students on Twitter were even bartering. One said she’d sell her ticket for a Chipotle burrito.

However, no matter how anyone feels about the issue there’s one thing almost everyone can agree on. There’s not enough tickets in the first place.

“To me, I don’t even think they should have tickets, I think it should be open to as many people,” parent Cathy Murray said.

The district says there’s no policy against students selling tickets after they have been given out. Graduations will be taking place Friday through Sunday.
