WGHS Spectator Guidelines and Information to Purchase Season Passes and Single Game Tickets

• At this time, we do not plan to limit the number of spectators allowed to attend any games.
• For INDOOR events, masks are required to be worn by everyone in attendance.
• For OUTDOOR events, masks will be optional unless the size of the crowd makes it difficult to appropriately space everyone out. For games such as varsity football games and some varsity soccer games, spectators should have a mask with them and be prepared to wear it.
• Spectators are expected to sit with their family groups and distance themselves from other family groups whenever possible. If distancing is not possible, then masks should be worn.

• Admission will be charged to attend the following sports:
  • Basketball - all levels - $5 per person per game
  • Football - varsity only - $5 per person per game
  • Soccer - varsity only - $3 per person per game
  • Volleyball - all levels - $3 per person per game
• Spectators are encouraged to purchase game tickets online and in advance at the following site: https://wghs.rschoolteams.com/page/3068

• WGHS students are eligible for a discounted pass to all home regular season games and tournaments, but not postseason or playoff games.
• Students who purchase the all season sports pass will also be able to stop by the Activities Office and pick up a free t-shirt.
• The student sports pass is only available online at the same website as above.
• To purchase the Student Sports Pass, students will need to enter a passcode which is the prefix of their school email address (first and last initial followed by the 6 digit birthdate). Example: jc101403
