Rufus69 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 This mandate of using the Go Away Fan phone app is ridiculous. It should be optional. If we can't get the Methodists involved...then all may be lost. Attica !!!! Attica !!!! Attica !!!! Rufus>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I generally like using gofan. You dont have to download the app if you dont want. I get the tickets in my email. The weird catch for Colquitt is all the reserve seating. I guess people have to get the godan tickets then show that at the athletic dept. to get their reserve seating ticket so the janitor that doubles as usher isn't too confused to see what seat number and section you have on the go fan ticket. Apparently he can only see color and type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga96 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Just another ghsa moment. Forcing people to use to go fan and nfhs because they ghsa are partnered with both and get a payout from every game shown in all sports. Hell I know they hate Lowndes cause they don't broadcast anything in any sport. Im fine with that though instead of kicking money to the ghsa. I wish we would do like some of the smaller schools like clinch. They use local sponsors and broadcast all their sports for free. They even broadcast a baseball game at Lowndes last year due to their field being flooded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticketmaster nearly screwed me over limited service at a concert 1 time could not get the website to load to show tickets after nearly 15 minutes it worked.

How these people manage to vote is beyond me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 stoopid Floriduh uses it too. It’s OK to have an option, but there is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to walk up to the gate or ticket booth and give them my 5 to 7 dollars to purchase a ticket. Absolutely ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Gofan makes between 2 and 3 dollars "convenience fee" per ticket. So, the tickets for this Friday night at Mack Tharpe are about 17.30ish apiece instead of 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that, believe it or not, some people don’t have internet access. Or it isn’t convenient for them to purchase tickets that way. But yet, if you don’t bow to the bully tactics you don’t go to the game. It’s an arrogant, fan-unfriendly policy. I actually contacted my state athletic association and asked what about people who don’t have internet. Surprise - crickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume pretty good especially since the schools still have to pay them from ticket sales and they charge radio stations if they want to broadcast.

HawgGoneIt Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 The gofan thing makes it more convenient for the travelling teams fans. Thats the only plus to it in my opinion. There are multiple negatives. Additional cost, no matter if its only a couple of bucks, it's still additional. It is apparently complicated for a lot of older people who have never used it and have been attending games forever with paper tickets. Its bad enough that our athletic dept posted in the paper and online that people can come to the athletic dept and they will basically complete the purchase for them. I know we are apparently a bunch of old yahoos that cant work a simple app or navigate a pretty simple website, but, many are finding it less convenient than more. And its a mandate. People around these parts dont like mandates. Some people dont trust the internet or these sites like gofan with their credit or debit info, and, like it or not, it is an opportunity for hackers or fraud if they end up on some fake gofan or whatever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
