Bethel Bees Athletic Department Updates – August 2021
Welcome back to another season of Bethel Athletics! We are excited to welcome back our families, fans and community members to events and want to be sure that after a year away, you are up to speed with the changes that have happened since you last attended an athletic event. Please read all the information below if you plan to attend any of our MS or HS athletic events this fall!
Change in Ticketing for HOME games
The most important change to our procedures this year is our ticketing plan and platform. This school year we will be completely digital for our tickets meaning that there will be NO CASH SALES at any of our athletic events! In addition to buying individual game tickets ONLINE or through the HomeTown Fan App, we WILL return to selling tickets at the gate but you will need to have a credit / debit card or mobile pay in order to buy a ticket. Below is a link to information on how to buy tickets and passes for HOME Bethel Athletic Events!

Bethel Away Games – Ticket Information
Throughout the year you will likely be traveling to an away game to support the Bees! While traveling to different schools, you will likely encounter many different procedures and ways to buy tickets. In order to help you successfully attend an AWAY game without confusion or too much stress, we have created a resource for our parents, fans and community that lists ticketing information and online ticketing links (where applicable) for all of the schools that you might visit. Please save this link for future reference and as we add more schools, we will keep this updated daily! Click the link below to view this document!

Event Parking / Traffic Flow / Athletic Entrances
The link below will provide you a map that will show the Bethel Local Schools Campus. This map and accompanying information will let you know where to park, the path to locate facilities once you leave your vehicle and which entrances to use when attending any of our athletic events! Click the link below to see the map!
All Athletic Parking is located behind the school, accessible by using the northern most entrance of campus. The front lot (and gravel lot to the north) will be used for overflow parking in the event the back lot is full. VERY IMPORTANT! For all Friday Night Varsity Football Games, beginning at 4:30pm, the Bus / Fire Lane is NOT able to be used as a pass through to drop off or pick up students or spectators. You MUST use the north entrance and drop off / pick up in the parking lot after 4:30pm. The loop will be blocked off with cones.
Stadium Entrance – We are using the main stadium entrance for all events. The north gate next to the parking lot is no longer being utilized.
Gym Entrance – You will enter through Door #10 “The Hive” OR Door #4 High School main entrance for all MS & HS Events. For indoor events, there will be signs to help guide you through the building.
