Bluefield researcher 1,195 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Good Morning, Graham High School will host Appomattox High School in the Class 2 VHSL State Football Semi-finals on Saturday, December 3rd at 2:00 p.m. This will be a GOFAN online ticket event. No tickets will be sold at the gate. The cost of tickets will be $10.00 with a convenience charge of $1.50. Tickets will go on sale Monday evening on GOFAN. Children 6 and under will be admitted free with a paying adult. More information will be shared on social media and to participating schools throughout the week.

Melvin 22 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Excellent! Eating at The Railyard is incentive enough to make the trip, but when it's another afternoon game it's even better. Wonder why it's GoFan only? We use the online services for every game we attend and love it, but there was a decent line at the ticket window yesterday for people buying them at the gate. Having ours ready on GoFan probably saved us 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 2,518 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 The only bad thing about Go-Fan is when the cell signal gets jammed. If there’s a good crowd at Mitchell there may be trouble getting in. I went to Hoover-Thompson game last year in Alabama, which was a Go-Fan only event, and there were 15k+ to show up. Everyone’s cell signal was jammed and it was a huge mess trying to get in the game. Folks had to keep getting out of line because they couldn’t get their tickets to load. Go-Fan should adopt a way to have their tickets offline. Adding them to your apple wallet would make a lot more sense. Ryan4VT, 1inStripes and Mountain Football 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem. Graham32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 99% of the others will try to pull it up in the ticket line. rvtne216 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tacked on fee is what is a joke to me. Sure you have to go here to buy tickets but never mind the little convenience fee that we add on to there. Should discount $.50 to inspire people to use it instead or at least add $1 to the manual ticket process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Everyone should be aware that may not know that this is from the VHSL not a decision by Graham High School to only sell tickets online. This is the same for all VHSL state playoff games, online tickets only. We must never forget, with the VHSL it comes down to the almighty $$$! -oo- and BoBob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe call the school to see but I’d say if veterans were admitted free at last year’s state playoff games, they would be this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This prevents schools from under counting their attendance and the VHSL missing their full cut.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the VHSL take home 100% of those ticket sales as well? If I remember correctly when it gets to this point of the season the schools themselves see very little money come in, which is sad considering how many more fans come out this time of the season and how much money some of these high schools miss out on.

Wolf1207 239 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Wish they’d advertised the veterans thing or I’d paid better attention last weekend. Oh well it was only $7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
