becoming a Blue Line member. The passes were numbered, when the passholder came to a game they presented their pass to the ticket seller so that we could account for their attendance on a game report. Any revenue from a pass that was not used for a game remained with the Arena, it was not accounted for in the game report but was deposited at the beginning of the season when the passes were sold. If a pass is created for the Girl's games it would be appropriate to have one for the boy's as well If each parent from the Girl's and Boys' teams would purchase a pass we could possibly sell over 160 Adult passes. I'm not sure how many students /senior passes would sell but I would assume it would be considerably less. If a $2.00 discount was applied it could possibly generate a revenue loss of $320.00 from admissions. (This is assuming each adult would have attended each game and purchased a full price ticket). However in past years when we have had passes, there were typically 2 - 5 passes per game that were not used, which off sets the $320.00 loss by about $60.00. Since the games are a High School event, it's ultimately up to the Activity Director and/ or the School Board to make the final decision to have discounted passes. The Arena Commission could give a recommendation either way-however it is not necessary. 8. Varsity Game Contract Last year during budget talks there was discussion about the discrepancies between the Rogers Arena contract with the school District for practice hours and High School games versus our own. This yeaz the discussion continued and we found a considerable discrepancy between the two agreements. Over the last 4-6 years the contract for hosting the High School Hockey games, both girls and Boy's has been: $1.00 from each ticket sold goes into a "Bleacher Fund". This agreement was put in place when the east side of the bleachers in the Olympic were installed and has continued since. The money in the fund helped pay for some capital items and was the funding source for hiring the Architect for the renovation project. The Arena then receives the first $900.00 for the boys and $750.00 for the girls from each game, the remaining balance is then split 50% / 50% with the School District. If a game does not meet the minimum balance due it is indicated on the game report. At the end of each season, the gate reports are tallied, and depending on the balance, either a check is issued to the School District or an invoice is sent for the short fall. The cost to host a Girl's doubleheader (Junior Varsity / Vazsity) is roughly $925.00. This includes ice time and extra staff for handling tickets and resurfacing. The Arena's cost to host a boy's doubleheader is about $965.00, typically there is an added staff person scheduled due to the larger crowd.
