Purchase of Tournament Tickets
Can you purchase tournament tickets as a walk-up at the game site? Do they have to be ordered online or at a school kiosk?
The reason I'm asking is what if someone were in Waverly, eating at a restaurant around 5:00, and decided to go to watch some sectional games at the Downtown Gym? Can they just walk-up and buy a ticket at the window?
I know the OHSAA is going to an online system to buy tickets, but I'm not sure as to how it works for those people that make last minute decisions to go and watch some games with no access to ordering tickets online. How about the same situation occurring at the Convo?
Can someone clarify how this is all supposed to work? Thanks.

Yes, tickets are available at the door at all sites unless presale on-line Numbers would reach capacity of a venue. All sites have a set limit they can sell pre-sale.
The Convo seats 11,500 for HS Tournaments, I’m fairly confident you’ll be able to get a ticket.

Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
Keep in mind that the pre-sale tickets are more expensive than walk-up tickets after the transaction fee. $5.46 vs. $5.
Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
But schools get a pretty good portion if you buy pre sale tickets. Is that correct? I've heard $1.46 per ticket.BlindWhiteHat wrote: Sun Feb 09, 2020 5:29 pm Keep in mind that the pre-sale tickets are more expensive than walk-up tickets after the transaction fee. $5.46 vs. $5.

Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
I don't think Dave was worried about anyone selling out ,he was just wanting to know if you can get tickets at the door.

Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
Where do you pick up your tickets that are ordered online? There has to be some time that will elapse between the order and the pickup of the tickets. It's a new system, and there are some nuances that I don't know about.
Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
I believe they will have your online order at the door. Maybe a bar code or something - all electronic.

Somebody else confirm this?

Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
Thanks, smurray. I'm wondering, too, how all this works with no paper ticket.
Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
You print out the ticket and take it with you or keep it on your phone. I printed mine out and it is a whole 8 1/2 x 11 page.

Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
ALL of the sectional tickets are either to be purchased at either school of game participants or at the door - is this correct ? Sectional tickets can NOT be purchased online - is this correct ? it is the District & Regional games at the Convo that can be purchased online - yes?
Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
My ticket purchased online is for a girl's sectional, so I assume it is the same for boys.
Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
So just to clarify. If I buy an online ticket for the 8:00 Athens game, that same ticket will allow me to get into the 6:15 Sheridan game? Is that correct?

Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
If games are 1:45 apart then 1 ticket is good for both.
Camp North Star > Camp Mohawk
Re: Purchase of Tournament Tickets
The only split sessions are championship days. If games are 6:15 and 8:00 it isnt a split session.
