DH/High School graduation ticket problem; what to do??

Hi ladies. I need some advice please.

DH oldest daughter from BM#1 is graduating next week. He's been in contact via text msg since way back at the end of March with BM about the fact he was planning travel for it since we live out of state. 2 weeks ago we still had not received the invite, but had been up for her last track meet. The daughter and DH are both on the same page about him coming to graduation. It wasn't even a question.

DH msg'd BM#1 2weeks ago about him and his mom not receiving the invites yet. He also mss'd daughter. BM never responded, but daughter did last week saying her mom mailed all of them "yesterday".

So last night he calls daughter they discuss plans for after graduation (i.e. going to dinner), he mentions still no invite and asks about the tickets.

Per the school when we called they only give the tickets to the student (up to 10) and now they BM is telling DH that she didn't have his address (bologna) and we figure since they don't get tickets until day before graduation at the actual practice, we are going to be hosed. 

DH called school explained situation about the BM not seeming to allow access, and they are no help.

What do we do?

TIA

    Can DHs daughter hold onto his tickets?  Will you arrive enough in advance to take photos and such and you can get them then?

    I would call the school again. Ask to talk to the VP, Principal, Superintendent, etc. until you get some results. You can send the school a copy of your CO and your SD can talk to them and tell them your DH should be at the graduation (i.e. there is no reason he shouldn't be, no restraining order, etc.). You can at least find out if BM is telling you the truth about when she gets the tickets. They could mail you the tickets and only give the remaining to SD/BM. Another option would be to arrange a time to meet SD/BM to get the tickets in person, but if BM is BSC or horribly unreliable, I would just try to go through the school.

    Just my own vent, and I know schools don't like to get in the middle of things, but they really need better policies of dealing with divorced parents and making sure both parents have equal access to information.

    It seems like if you talk to the right person at the school the problem should be able to be resolved.  Have him explain the situation and I'm sure that they can come up with 2 extra tickets.

    Plus if he has joing legal custody, I would think technically 5 of those tickets should go to him anyway.
