Varsity Girls - 5:30 PM - PST
We don't do cash at the gates it's all digital. Here is the info for that process
We utilize the website https://www.hometownticketing.com/ ( Formerly Ticket Spicket) for our digital ticketing.
There are two ways to purchase tickets. You may go through the website or download the app H Flex Entry. From here you will create an account and in the search bar, type in White Pine High School, which will bring up available games to buy tickets. Have your parents click on the Volleyball tournament and they can purchase their tickets.
Checking in at the game - When they arrive at the gates, they can pull up the app on their phone or just tell the gate attendant their name and the gate attendant will check them in. There is no need to print tickets out, just check in at the game. This is the fourth year utilizing this company and not too many issues. It looks like the system is the same as a Ticket Spicket.
We will also broadcast through NFHSNETWORKS.com for any fans who will not be able to make the trip and want to watch still. This is Subscription-based.
Prices for the games are $6 for 18 and up, $3 for Kinder to 12th grade, Seniors Citizens - $0
