Fans,
Our on-line ticket sales will begin on Tuesday (25th) at 10pm. You can purchase tickets for both football and volleyball (High School and Middle School) by selecting each individual game or match. We encourage you all to take advantage of the online ticket purchasing process. However, for those of you who wish to purchase tickets using cash, the football stadium ticket booth will be open on Wednesdays from 4 - 6pm for those purchases. Just a reminder: "THERE WILL BE NO TICKET SALES AVAILABLE AT THE GATE ON GAME NIGHT." YOU MUST HAVE A PREPAID TICKET TO ENTER.
Also, there are (3) schools in the volleyball district ( SA Cole, SA Greater Hearts Monte Vista and SA Greater Hearts Northern Oaks) due to capacity concerns, they will not be allowing fans to attend home games. So tickets to those away games are not available. Also Marion is only allowing 25 visitor seats (which will be set aside for the parents of the players) and will not be available to the public. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, the health and safety of our students and community is paramount. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
