2023-24 Updated Ticket Prices and Officials Cost Information:
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer before things are back in motion! I wanted to take this opportunity to touch base to discuss the purchasing of activity passes and athletic ticket pricing for the upcoming school year.
In hopes of streamlining the process IKM-Manning and all other WIC schools are going to utilize the gobound platform for the purchase of Student and Family Activity Passes as well as the purchasing of tickets.
You will be able purchase Individual, Student and Family Activity Passes that allow admittance into regular season athletic events hosted by IKM-Manning. Once you have purchased a pass gobound will send you a QR code that will serve as your pass that will be scanned at the gate and will allow admittance. We will also have a list of those with passes to serve as a backup. Post Season games will require a purchased ticket for admittance.
To purchase a ticket for a regular season athletic contest you can purchase them online on the gobound.com site or you will be able to purchase them at the gate with a credit card/debit card.
As IKM-Manning and the WIC transitions to the gobound platform, the decision has been made to increase ticket prices to $7 for adults and students. The decision to increase ticket prices was based largely on the growing cost of expenses in athletics. I have included information below to show the rationale behind the increase in ticket prices.
