Dundee Uni Graduation!

stormbreaker

My eldest son graduates this June in Dundee! He is the first ever in our family to gain a degree!!

We are booked to stay two nights in Dundee and our son has booked for us to eat

I am, excited, thrilled and want to make the most and see everything I can of the graduation.

Does anyone have any tips? How to get the best seats and view etc.? We have been advised to go upstairs to the gallery!

Is it still in the Caird Hall?

If so, its a great long tunnel of a place with a fairly low stage and pretty awful views from either level unless you are close to the front. The gallery is a narrow strip up each side of the hall but most seats are away-back.

Your best bet if they don't reserve seats is to be there early or waiting as the previous graduation leaves so you get-in at the front of the queue and head as far forward as you can.

I agree, your best bet would be to arrive early, here's a couple of links one with an image of inside the caird hall and the other with a seating plan.
Congratulations to your son on his graduation http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YEB15PVbf78/TyvGPjNgw8I/AAAAAAAAA2E/F5qiXnQtq18/s1600/soundcheck.jpg
