Please see the message below regarding tickets for the SOV Football game this Friday:
In order to meet capacity restrictions and limit the physical exchange of money, the CIC is using an electronic ticket system this year for football. Below you will find the link where tickets for the first varsity game and first JV game can be purchased. You will then use a mobile device (likely a smartphone) to show the ticket at the gate to gain entrance (see the videos below for more information). All students who are younger than high school age must be accompanied by an adult and remain with that adult throughout the game. All SHS and OVHS students will be admitted into the game for free and will not need an electronic ticket. They will sign in when they enter the game to help us keep a count toward the capacity.
The total cost per ticket (after handling fee) will be $4, and there is a limit of 4 tickets per purchase.
Follow this link to purchase tickets for the Varsity home game against Meridian on March 19th: https://gofan.co/app/events/275968
Follow this link to purchase tickets for the JV home game against Meridian on March 22nd: https://gofan.co/app/events/275970
This video shows how to use the tickets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0Xhso4QobA
This video shows how the tickets will be checked at the gate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzAYgP6tFEM
Football players, football cheerleaders, dance team members, marching band and color guard members are able to buy tickets exclusively until noon tomorrow (March 16th), when it will be opened up to the families of current SHS/OVHS students. On Wednesday at noon, it will be opened up to the general public.
The grass lots will be unavailable for parking due to the condition of the ground. Home spectators will enter through the main gate by concessions, visiting spectators will enter through the gate by the south end zone. Spectators will be required to wear masks at all times and socially distance.
