Committee debates ticket prices and asks coaches to email rosters to announcers
Summary
Members discussed ticket pricing to offset transaction fees and asked coaches to email rosters before games to improve announcements; officials shortages and transaction fees were drivers of the discussion.
Chair Chance Mays said ticketing trends and transaction fees have left the district losing money under the longstanding $5/$3 pricing structure. "Ticket prices have been 5 and 3 for football for the entire 12 years that I've been here," he said, and urged consideration of raising prices to cover fees and official costs.
Committee members suggested possible new price structures (examples discussed included 4 & 2 and 8 & 4) and agreed that any change would draw initial complaints but likely be accepted over time. Separately, Mays asked coaches to email rosters ahead of games so announcers can correctly identify players; he said emailed rosters would reduce concession-stand complaints and make game operations smoother.
