The Sioux Falls School District announced the implementation of a new, cashless ticketing system for all district-sponsored activities, athletics and fine arts events Thursday.
In partnership with Iowa-based company Bound, this transition to a digital ticketing platform is part of the school district’s ongoing commitment to enhancing convenience, safety, and efficiency for students, parents, and community members.
Here is an explainer, provided by the Sioux Falls School District, on why they made the move to cashless, how it’ll work, and how much tickets will cost.
Why Cashless Ticketing?
In a rapidly evolving digital world, there are several key benefits to cashless ticketing:
- Convenience: Parents, students, and community members can purchase tickets online anytime, anywhere. No more standing in line or needing the exact change.
- Enhanced Safety: Digital transactions reduce the need for physical cash handling, minimizing the risk of theft or loss, and streamlines the accounting process.
- Efficiency: Fans and audiences skip bottlenecks at the gate to enjoy improved event experiences.
- Environmental Impact: By reducing paper ticket use, we are taking steps towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly district.
How It Works
The new digital ticketing system, Bound, is designed to be user-friendly and easily accessible. Tickets for all district events can be conveniently purchased online through the SFSD website or the Bound mobile app. Once purchased, tickets can be securely stored on a smartphone or printed for convenience. Additionally, card readers will be available at the gate, making the gameday experience smoother and more convenient.
Contactless payment is no longer a trend but has become the norm around the country. This change to a 100% cash-free box office leads to faster service and shorter wait times for fans.
