DOESN'T ADD UP

The letter ``NSU commencement well-organized'' (June 6) left me with just one question. If ``the invitations did not carry an entitlement to a seat in the arena'' and there was ``no relationship between invitations and seats'' and ``Scope staff was not asked to check for invitations or tickets,'' why were invitations issued (and sold)?
