A new change that the Boiling Springs community will see this year is the change from paper ticketing at events to digital ticketing for all sports. The new change is for two reasons: one reason is to keep up with the modern trends of ticketing while the other extends from dealing with Covid to keep contact between people at games to a minimum.
“We’ve decided to go to a digital platform with tickets for multiple reasons,” said Boiling Springs athletic director Evan Moxie. “One reason is because it’s what everyone else seems to be doing and we want to stay up to date with other places. The second reason is for Covid reasons as we don’t just want to cut down on hand-to-hand transmission but it also cuts down on lines and the number of people needed for each game to handle tickets.” While the process will be new to people in the community it should make it an easier process for them overall as they will have plenty time to purchase tickets in advance and will even be able to purchase tickets through the end of the event. They’re will also be options for people to purchase individual game tickets or purchase an All-Season pass that will allow fans access to all sporting events. “To purchase a ticket it’s a pretty simple process as you will go online and select an individual ticket or All-Season pass,” said Moxie. “When you go to purchase your option you’ll just have to put it your name, email, and a phone number before it takes it to you a page to purchase your selection. The reason it asks for email and phone number is because the email is where your ticket will be sent to, while the phone number will be used, if you opt in for notifications, to send you texts to notify you if the game has to be postponed or moved for some reason.” With the online purchasing there will be a small service fee which is why Moxie suggests that Bulldogs fans purchase the All-Season pass because it will only be a one-time fee for a whole season of athletics. “There will be a small service fee as there is with any online purchases which is why I suggest all Bulldogs fans buy the All-Season pass,” said Moxie. “It’s a one-time service fee and you’re then able to get into any game. You can take a picture of it and constantly have it on your phone or if you have a grandparent you can print it out and laminate it for them so they’ll have it at all times.” Moxie also suggests that Bulldogs students buy All-Season passes because they have lowered the cost of that this season for students so that more students will be able to attend more athletic events. “Our student passes, which is any student with a Spartanburg District Two email address, the cost is only $50 for a student All-Season pass,” said Moxie. “It’s cheaper than it has been in years past and that’s because we really want to drive our students to the games. If I’m a parent of a student I’m buying them one of those passes.” Single game tickets for football will be the same price ($7) plus the service fee while other events like volleyball will be $5 plus the service fee. An All-Season pass for the normal fan will be $135 which will also give you access to the Bulldog Nation sponsorship club which fans can find out more information about on the athletics website. There will also be reserved ticket and parking options available but fans that buy the All-Sports pass will have the first option to these especially on Friday night. Moxie also adds that if fans decide to attend an event at the last minute there won’t be a cutoff on ticket sales until the event is over. “There are no cutoffs as those tickets will be available to the end of the event,” said Moxie. “So if someone is sitting at home on Friday night and decides at the last minute they want to go see the game they can just go to the webpage, buy a ticket, scan it, and then walk right into the game.” One thing Moxie wanted to make sure everyone knew is that they will still be accepting district issued passes at the gate as well.
