Good afternoon,
I hope this finds all in our Brighton Schools family doing well and enjoying the summer!
Fall Sports practices begin on August 7th at BHS with events starting up on 8/17/23. Scranton Middle School Fall Sports (Boys & Girls Cross Country & Girls Volleyball) begin on 8/21/23 & 8/28/23 respectively.
With Fall sports starting around the corner we wanted to make you aware of an important change at the HighSchool level for game ticket prices and the purchasing of game tickets.
At its last meeting in June the K.L.A.A. voted to increase high school game ticket prices to $6.00. This is the first increase in league ticket prices for any league that Brighton has been a part of for over the last 30 years.
Additionally, as you are seeing across the nation, the league we will move immediately to electronic tickets for High School events. Many of you who have had students participating over the last few years know that this format has been used by other KLAA schools, as well as those outside the league, and that all M.H.S.A.A. events are now electronic ticketing only. Electronic tickets allow for a safer transfer of money and there is a convenience factor for patrons at our events.
The process of purchasing electronic tickets has evolved in the last few years as well as the public's understanding and use of these platforms whether you are attending school sports, club sports, college and pro sports, concerts or any other ticketed events. We have used GoFan ticketing for the state tournaments we have hosted and the process overall has been very smooth as a whole.
We will have the ability at the gate to accept debit/cc cards now at our events but for your experience the easiest way to purchase and redeem your tickets will be to do so in advance of approaching the ticket booth or table and having them ready to show our ticket takers upon entering. Likewise you will now see signage at all BHS athletic events with the QR codes just as you have seen them at other schools in recent years and MHSAA tournament contests.
Ticket prices for Scranton Athletic events will remain at $3.00 for adults & $1.00 for students and will for this coming year remain as cash sales.
Also, Student, Individual and Family pass prices for BAS Athletic events will remain the same price and will be offered at both BHS & SMS registrations as they always have been.
Go Fan's website is GoFan.co and our page for home and away events at GoFan.cois: https://gofan.co/app/school/MI9899
Also, here are some other helpful links if this is your 1st exposure to electronic ticketing or GoFan
Again, I hope this finds you and yours all doing well as we get ready to fire up another great year at BAS & Bulldog Athletics!
Make it a great and safe rest of your summer and as always....Go Dogs!
