Summary
The board approved a restructured ticket‑sales plan that restores at‑gate cash sales and standardizes pricing to $6/$4 for sporting events and $14/$12 for theater, aiming to balance online processing fees while complying with cash‑payment requirements.
The Saucon Valley School Board approved a revised ticketing approach that maintains both online sales and an at‑gate cash option.
Administration explained the district must offer a cash option; to simplify fees and balance online processing costs the board approved standard prices of $6 and $4 for sporting events (adult/child) and $14/$12 for theater productions under an existing contract. Ticketing staff said the change simplifies earlier, more complicated fee schedules and makes at‑gate cash and online purchases functionally equivalent.
Board members asked how the changes affect district revenue and fees; staff said fees from the ticketing vendor and processing (Stripe) vary but the $6/$4 structure evens out prior discrepancies. The motion to approve the revised ticketing structure passed by voice vote.
What’s next: Business office and athletics staff will update online ticketing pages and gate procedures and report back with initial revenue impacts after events under the new structure.
