Oliver Ames Tickets Will be Digital

GoFan is a digital ticket app which can be downloaded directly to your smart phone. Once you download the app and create an account, you can purchase tickets for contests directly through that app for all Oliver Ames HOME contests, and many AWAY contests including state tournament games and matches. 

The decision to move away from cash and into a digital format is not only inline with many other athletic programs in the MIAA, but it also is inline with the reality that fewer people are carrying cash with them. 

So how do you do it?

1) This is the way to go! Pre-purchase your ticket using the GoFan APP. It looks like this:

 

Create a 1 time account, and search the app for the tickets you want to purchase. The purchased tickets will be accessible on the GoFan app on your smart device. 

 

2) Want to use a computer instead of the app? Go to our Oliver Ames Athletics GoFan page here: https://gofan.co/app/school/MA22191

Select the game you want to purchase tickets for and follow the directions. The tickets will be emailed to you. You will still need a smart device at the gate to use these tickets. 

 

3) Purchase a ticket at the gate. We will have QR codes available at the gate for you to scan which will bring you to the GoFan page to sign in or create an account and purchase tickets for that particular game.
