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.
