Dear students and families,
The AAA sent an email out saying every ticket for Friday Night will be sold through this website. https://gofan.co/app/events/149473
I have sent the link to the football coaches for them to push out to their athletes. I would give the athletes today and tomorrow to buy their own tickets. On Thursday, we push the tickets out to the public.
There will be no cash exchanged, every ticket needs to be bought online. Friday night at the gate, we will not be accepting cash. We will have the link available at the ticket booth for those who did not buy beforehand.
Our capacity is 500 on the home side, 200 on the visitor side.
Come out and support the COMETS!
You may have to copy and paste the link in your browsers to work. Also the link is in your students' emails. Thanks for your support.
