EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 20, 2021 Obituaries Starting this fall, digital tickets will be available for all Janet Ann “Jannie” Runnion OSAA events Reprinted from October 13, 2021, OSAAtoday by Kyle Stanfield Starting in the 2021-22 school year the OSAA is moving to a digital ticketing system for OSAA playoff games and championship events. We completely un- derstand the differences in each community and how constituents access games. We want to work with each community to make OSAA playoff games successful, easy, fun and enjoyable for all. Digital tickets will be available online for pur- chase for every OSAA play- off game and those tickets will be just as good as those purchasing day of. Presold digital tickets will take precedent over any poten- tial walk up at the day of the event. It’s important that host facilities are prepared to take these tickets at the event. The OSAA staff will be reaching out to confirm facility maximums and how we can work together to get digital tickets to crowds. Each school and location may have different restric- tions and we want to honor those restrictions. We will be communicating consis- tently throughout October and November. The reason for the move to digital ticketing is multifold and we, and the OSAA Executive Board, believe this adoption will be successful. Here are a few of the reasons: Now is the Time – the pandemic has changed ev- ery community and every level of life over the past 18 months. The consumer has shifted to using apps and digital services now more than ever. By not having large, ticketed events the last 18 months, this is the perfect time to reset and start a new way of thinking on how to enter contests. Staffing – moving to digital ticketing reduces the number of people needed for an event. In situations where there were multiple ticket sellers, now there is only a need for a couple of ticket scanners. The la- bor market is extremely tight, as schools see in your buildings as they try to hire teachers and classified staff. Finding people to work games has also been a difficulty for schools. This move helps reduce the num- ber of people in the ticket booths while providing fric- tionless access to patrons. Reconciliation is a thing of the Past – if a school chooses to do so, the days of athletic and accounting department staff storing cash in a safe or reconciling the day after the event is a thing of the past. Money for digital tickets goes directly to the OSAA account with no cash or credit card slip left at the site. Ease of Technology – if you have a smart phone and a cell signal at your field/gym, you have a ticket scanner in the palm of your hand. Anyone who has a smart phone and creden- tials on the app can scan people into a contest. Long lines for tickets now no longer become a problem. For a single game high school event, the battery and amount of data used to scan tickets into an event is unnoticeable.
