Columbus, OH – August 11, 2021
For Immediate Release
Just in time for a new year at high schools across the country, HomeTown Ticketing, the leading high school digital ticketing platform in the U.S., is modernizing the way high school sports fans buy and manage tickets to their favorite events.
The new HomeTown Fan App, launched today, is now available to thousands of high school fan bases across the country allowing them to easily buy and manage their entire ticketing experience with the tap of a button on a mobile device.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for parents, grandparents and other high school sports fans to get into the game or theatre. People buy almost everything else on their phones. Why should events at the high school level be any different?” said Ryan Hart, HomeTown Ticketing Chairman and CEO.
Momentum for digital ticketing at the high school level has been building for several years and has been accelerated over the last 18 months. HomeTown now provides paperless ticketing platforms to more than 10,000 schools nationwide.
“For years, people have been purchasing tickets for pro sporting events, concerts, movies and shows through apps on their smart device. We are so excited to help schools across the country offer this digital ticketing option to their fans, making it easier than ever to cheer on their favorite students on the field or on stage,” said HomeTown Vice President of Marketing, Connor Thinnes.
The HomeTown Fan App will allow guests to manage their entire ticketing experience from one place on most mobile devices including:
- Search for local events by school name and school zip code
- Choose their favorite schools and organizations to keep updated on the latest events
- Purchase and access all event tickets from their iOS or Android device, making it easy to review purchases and scan at the gate.
- Enter the events by scanning all tickets and passed directly from the app, providing for true touchless redemption.
