Since the work of Mirzakhani and Petri on random hyperbolic surfaces of large genus, length statistics of closed geodesics have been studied extensively. We focus on the case of random hyperbolic surfaces with cusps, the number of which grows with the genus. We prove that if the number of cusps grows fast enough and we restrict attention to special geodesics that are tight, we recover upon proper normalization the same Poisson point process in the large genus limit for the length statistics. The proof relies on a recursion formula for tight Weil-Petersson volumes obtained recently by Budd and Zonneveld and on a generalization of Mirzakhani's integration formula to the tight setting.
