Does this include a service charge for ordering online?
10 online and 12 at gate. So double the price to watch burg and west that was 6 dollars 7 days before lol. Not sure on fee but I’m sure there is
I.M.O. what this does is keep the FANS who are not from these schools from going to the game. I have talked to enough fans throughout the state to say most fans, who roam from game to game won't be doing this come playoff time.

I really think ohsaa is just worried that they won’t get all the gate fees. That’s why they are doing it that way. Why change everything up and make it online all of a sudden when all season for years it’s been pay cash at the gates? Why try to fix what isn’t broken?

Nice quote^^^^
It’s a high school football game. Not booking a flight or hotel room. So cash is great for them to use all year but then playoff games it’s like this. Come on.

Be sure and help the elderly in your community that don’t get online or use smart phones.

So stupid, also went to watch Minford play at East Clinton and they wasn't even taking cash payment at the gate. Had to use a debit card or a credit card to enter. So stupid
You don’t need to download a app for playoffs just go to ohsaa.org and look for tickets they are on sale on the website you just pick your game and buy.

Actually, some schools have started going to credit card only sales. Some have went with hometown ticketing as well. In a few years I can see 60% of schools being fully online for ticket sales.

Scanning was done last year for all tournament games. This year, we still have had several people come to soccer and volleyball games wanting to buy tickets. We have a handouts with a bar code or step by step directions for people to purchase the tickets on line. Thank goodness, no major problems have been encountered.

Bengals have went cashless. The Problem is it takes an entire quarter now to get a coke

I think I’ve heard some schools in Ohio do this too, but down here in Florida, you buy all tickets online. You can also show up at the gate take a pic of the barcode and purchase that way. It’s super easy and I actually like it.

Nice quote again! You’re a real genius Gump!^^^^^^^^^^^
They better be lucky I’m not running the gate. I’d let anyone who tried to pay with cash right on in free of charge. Go take that cash and spend it at the concession stand where it’s really gonna help the kids and the school instead of fattening the bonuses at ohsaa. Most businesses as big as they are take any form of payment they can get cash or card. That way people like blaze can swipe because “I don’t carry cash” and not buy split the pot or concession to help the kids out. And most everyone else that’s been to a high school football game can pay cash like they’ve done there whole life with zero issues.
