The playoffs are here and that means championships are just around the corner. Schools, coaches, and athletic directors are working hard to make sure high school sports fans have a great experience when they come to these nail-biting games - and that all starts with the ticket stand.
With thousands of schools nationwide turning to digital ticketing for their events big and small, it's more important than ever for fans to understand just how easy (and convenient) having your ticket on your phone is.
Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association held a Zoom session with their fans to walk them through some of the nuances.
Fans may purchase their tickets online at OSSAA.com ahead of the contest they are wanting to attend. Once the link is clicked, fans will be directed to the GoFan website and will click “get tickets” on the date and host site they are looking to attend.
After the completion of the purchase, customers will receive a link to view their tickets. Simply click the link, which will bring up your digital ticket. That is what you will present to the gate worker when you enter the gym.
