High school students upset they can’t go to prom because it sold out

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (Gray News) – Some students at a high school in Virginia are disappointed that they won’t get to attend prom because the event sold out.

Midlothian High School is set to have its prom at the Hippodrome in Richmond on Saturday night, but not all students will be able to attend.

According to a report from WTVR, students said prom tickets sold out quickly, although it was advertised that tickets would be available to purchase for a full week.

Also, students said they were not informed that the event could sell out.

Parents are as frustrated as students, too.

School administrators said they estimate fewer than 10 students were unable to obtain tickets, according to WTVR.

The school also said it told families at the beginning of the year that the prom would have a limited capacity because of a venue change.
