Softball Gate Prices and tickets?

[VCR]

This may be a little off the subject but I have a few ?s......I have been to several HS games, away and home, and have noticed a wide variety of gate prices for tickets.....

Just this week one place was $4 a person......kids free....and another place was $3 a person and $2 a kid......Even though that gets expensive for a family during a week with 3 games....I am not complaining.....just wandering why even within districts and regions there is not a set price?

 

I think its good to show accurate ticket sales because someday it may show the true following of Girls Softball......and other spring sports

 

I would just like to know what the average gate fee is because it seems ours have been below average compared to everyone else.......we need all the info about this subject so we can be fair at our gate.....

 

Thanks to everyone that supports spring sports...

I think $4 is pretty standard from what I have seen. One team in the Knoxville area charges $5, but the rest have been $4. I would like to know what some of the teams from other areas charge and how they handle gate receipts.

How does the TSSAA let people get by with free!! Do these schools pay the TSSAA because part of proceeds is supposed to go to them.

TSSAA doesn't get any of the gate recipits from home regular season games.

 

So that $5 & $4 bucks you Farragut people are sticking people for you're keepin it.

I am president of the booster club and none of that money comes to the booster club. It is managed by the school. We put someone at the gate, but the tickets are handed to us before the game and the money is collected after the game.

 

I will check with the school on the admission. We did charge $4 at the gate for the Halls game, but if everyone else is charging $3, I will see about getting that changed.

 

I know West charges $5.

Very interesting discussion. I am also in the boosters club here at Unaka in NE TN. We charge $4 and the school gets the money to spend on the program. I think some of this also depends on the size of the school. We're class A and we don't get much support from any other resourceses other than a very small amount of advertising. If schools aren't charging for their games - it may be because they're funded well from the school system? I wish we could do this but if we didn't take gate money - we probably wouldn't have softball for very long!
