DOVER, Del. – The Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) is going touchless for the 2021-2022 championship athletic events. The new digital ticketing platform, GoFan, will allow DIAA to operate more efficiently prior to the game and at the gate while creating a safer and enhanced experience for students and fans.
The transition to cashless systems and digital tickets for athletics has accelerated over the past year. Digital ticketing and event management platforms have been adopted nationwide as the faster, more secure way for high school fans to purchase tickets and attend events.
Fans will be able to purchase tickets online through each event’s unique web page, which can be conveniently accessed through a smartphone or computer using a web browser or directly on the GoFan app. The unique link to purchase tickets for each event will be posted on the member school’s website4sports page and the DIAA digital ticketing web page. Digital tickets can be displayed at the gate on a digital device. All tickets must be redeemed at the gate prior to entry.
“DIAA is confident that this change will improve the state tournament fan experience for buying and redeeming tickets while at the same time making event management much more efficient,” said Donna Polk, DIAA Executive Director. “We look forward to providing digital ticketing at DIAA state tournament events.”
“We’re excited to launch our 38th state association with the DIAA and work alongside schools throughout Delaware,” said BJ Pilling, GoFan CEO. “High school sports bring communities together, and GoFan is honored to support that tradition.”
