Sioux Falls School District is transitioning to a new, cashless ticketing system to streamline the process of attending events, such as fine arts performances and athletics games. With digital tickets and card readers at the gate, getting into games and events will be easier and more convenient than ever. Tickets will be available in advance for all SFSD events, and purchases at the gate will be debit/credit card only.
Links to purchase for all SFSD events can be found at the QR code or link here: https://www.gobound.com/sd/districts/sfsd/stores/S115
Please visit the FAQ section at this link if you have any questions about this change and how it affects different types of events.
