Admission prices for sporting events at county schools to rise in 2024

Hamilton County Schools have announced that ticket prices for individual sporting events will increase for the 2024-25 school year.

According to Tim James, HCS District Sports Director, the price increase is necessary due to the rising costs of running the events.

“We have been seeing steadily increasing costs for all aspects of game operations for some time now,” James said. “This includes equipment, transportation and security costs. Hamilton County is not the only county facing these challenges, as other nearby counties have also increased ticket prices.”

“Sporting events are a stage for our Hamilton County student-athletes and we are committed to conducting our competitions at the highest level possible for our students and the communities they represent. This ticket price increase will ensure we can continue to do so in the future.”
