Fort Smith Public Schools Announces Cashless Ticketing for Athletics and Activities for the 2026-2027 School Year

 Fort Smith Public Schools (FSPS) will transition to a fully cashless ticketing system for all athletics and activity events starting July 1, 2026. The move is designed to enhance convenience and create a more efficient experience for all who attend district events. 

All event tickets will be sold digitally through GoFan. Attendees may purchase tickets in advance at GoFan.co or via the GoFan mobile app. For added convenience, a QR code will be available at event entrances, allowing guests to purchase tickets directly from their phone. For those who prefer to purchase tickets at the gate, point-of-sale (POS) systems will be available. 

Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, admission to regular-season FSPS athletics events will be $6 per person, including a $5 ticket price and a $1 service fee. This pricing applies to all school-age children and adults. Any tournaments and post-season events will continue to follow separate pricing structures as they have in previous years. 

FSPS will continue to offer free passes to Fort Smith and Barling senior residents who are aged 60 and older. Passes will be available at event gates and through the FSPS Athletics office. Individuals must present identification verifying residency to receive a pass. 

A new feature: all-season passes will be issued as mobile passes and available for purchase online, eliminating the need to visit the athletics office. Additional information regarding season pass sales will be released later this summer. 

“We are excited to modernize the way our community accesses athletic and activity events. This transition to digital ticketing provides a faster, more secure, and convenient experience while allowing us to better serve our students, families, and fans,” said Rusty Bush, Director of Athletics and Activities. 

Additional information regarding ticketing, season passes, and event access will be shared through district communication channels and on the Fort Smith Public Schools website in the coming months.
