Though Fergus Falls has used online ticketing since the 2020-2021 school year, this program is geared for online ticketing and much more streamlined.   According to Fergus Falls High School AD Derek Abrahams, “We were forced to go to online tickets after Covid so we used whatever was readily available at the time.  GoFan is a program that is specifically used by high schools.  By using the app, one can easily purchase tickets or passes and store all of their tickets in one place.   Several schools have begun to use this company in the past year and are very pleased with the results and feedback from their communities.”   

This past spring, the Central Lakes Conference agreed on using GoFan moving forward.   However, some schools already had past agreements in place with other online ticketing systems for the current school year.   Alexandria, Fergus Falls and Willmar will all be using GoFan this year with others joining in the future.      

The biggest change this year will be in that cash purchases will not be available at the door and there will be no more paper passes (other than the Golden Age passes).   Abrahams added, “I do believe that people will really like using this program.   The app makes it very easy to keep all of your tickets, and purchasing a ticket only takes a matter of seconds through the app once you set up your account.  While we are fully aware that not everyone will be happy about this move to electronic tickets, there are several factors including different regulations in handling cash, the increased labor hours that go with that and auditing that has changed things greatly in the past 10 years.”

Fergus Falls fans still have several options when it comes to purchasing tickets for events. Depending on how many games an individual or family attends, purchasing year long passes or punch cards are the most economical.    “I would say the only ones that would want to buy individual game tickets are those that plan on attending 8 or fewer events for the entire year” continued Abrahams.   “Any more than that, and it is more economical to buy a 10 or 20 game punch card or year long pass.   Many schools are increasing their prices for cash purchases or to absorb service fees to as much as $9 or $10 per game.   Though there are small service fees with purchasing tickets online,  as a school and conference we did not want to raise them that high,  so instead we are providing economical passes and punch cards.”   

All passes, punch cards and individual game tickets can be purchased by going to the Fergus Falls GoFan page or app where you can find a place to purchase family and individual passes, punch cards and individual game tickets.
