MACCRAY staff and board agree on $8/$5 ticket pricing, discuss volunteer passes and senior vouchers
Summary
At a board meeting, staff proposed setting athletic-ticket prices at $8 for adults and $5 for students, discussed handling online-sale fees and volunteer passes, and outlined a voucher approach for senior citizen access.
Duke, a staff member, proposed setting athletic ticket prices at $8 for adults and $5 for students and explained that an online-sale fee would be attached to purchases and refunded to buyers when appropriate.
Committee members generally supported the recommendation. "I was just gonna say with the ticket prices, 8 is pretty consistent across the rest of the country," a committee member said, noting local comparators. Board members discussed whether volunteers and staff (teachers, bus drivers, coaches) would need accounts to receive passes and how to bulk-upload eligible personnel into the district's pass system.
The board discussed a voucher-style approach to distribute senior citizen passes to eligible residents and where to post information so the benefit is accessible without broad advertisement. The board did not record a separate formal roll-call vote to change prices during the discussion; one member asked whether the item required moving to business for a vote and was told by another that the district could set the prices as a matter of practice.
