HOW MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS USES HOMETOWN
The district was in need of a digital ticketing solution to eliminate handling of cash, while creating a proactive solution for fans who wanted to purchase tickets in advance. This led Minneapolis Public Schools to start using HomeTown in 2020.
“We use the platform to provide equitable options for all our MPS families. In some instances, our families have a preference to pay by using cash, and we are certainly okay with that. In other instances, our families would prefer to pay ahead of time by using their credit card, and HomeTown Ticketing allows us to provide our families with a payment option that works best for that particular family.”
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT HOMETOWN?
“What I like most is the fact that utilization of the HomeTown Ticketing platform allows us to have a pulse on who’s attending our athletic contests and who is in our athletic venues at a particular point in time.”
Also, the customer service!
“Above all the wonderful bells and whistles that the HomeTown Ticketing platform offers, the customer service is top notch. HomeTown goes above and beyond to ensure that your experience with the HomeTown Ticketing product matches and/or exceeds your expectations. I can truly say that HomeTown Ticketing has met our needs here in Minneapolis and I would highly encourage anyone who is not currently utilizing HomeTown Ticketing to at minimum look into their product offering immediately.”
BIGGEST TIME SAVER
Minneapolis Public Schools loves HomeTown’s reporting! The reports are so efficient and a way for school based athletic directors to rectify their expense reports immediately. A time saver for not only athletic directors, but bookkeepers as well!
