Demand for touchless ticketing continues to rise among fans across the country
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As high schools across the country prepare to kick off the 2022 fall sports season, ticket buying trends show a record number of high schools and fans adopting digital ticketing. HomeTown Ticketing, the leading high school digital ticketing platform in the U.S., has seen increases in tickets purchased through the app and online, indicating consumer behavior supports technology advancements that make the ticket buying process more convenient. This fall, more fans than ever will leave behind paper tickets and move to a touchless solution that gets them in the gate.
"Adoption of digital ticketing has increased exponentially in the last 18 months, and we don't expect that trend to slow any time soon," said Ryan Hart, HomeTown Ticketing Chairman and CEO. "We have made it as easy as possible for parents, grandparents and other high school sports fans to get into the game or theatre and today, it is clear we are moving in a direction where digital tickets will be the preferred method of selling, purchasing and managing tickets for high school events across the board."
HomeTown Ticketing issued their first digital ticket in 2016 as part of a pilot program at an Ohio high school. In 2018, digital ticketing represented less than 1% of tickets sold to high school events. Today, HomeTown has ticketed more that 300K events across the country and works with high schools in all 50 states including most high schools with athletics in states like Utah, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas.
The adoption of mobile platforms in professional digital ticketing is nearly complete, with mobile ticket redemption now the standard method for all MLB, NFL and other professional games and league events. The rapid adoption of app-based purchasing on HomeTown's platform is quickly moving high school athletics in the same direction.
