I have mixed feelings in regards to the situation. I've attended some HS graduations and have been utterly appaled and embarassed.
In one vein, the graduate can't control his/her family from the stage while they are receiving their diplomas, and limiting the number of attendees (through tickets) doesn't guarantee that your family will act like they have some sense.
I don't think the graduate should be penalized for the antics of their family or friends. I'd have to say...warn your family and friends in advance that if they act up or violate any rules of conduct, they could jeopardize the graduate from receiving their diploma.
Now, I've attended graduations where the actual graduates have acted a stone fool. At that point, yes those graduates should be punished. A lot of students feel they can act up at graduation because it's nothing the school can do at that point.
In recollection, when I finished HS (10+ years ago) you didn't receive your diploma that day, you received the cover that the diploma came in, then you'd receive your diploma in the mail in a week to 10 days. So if you had outstanding fees or whatever...your diploma would be held until you took care of that.
