Come join the fun and cheer our Teams to victory!

Home games are held at Dacula HS and you MUST have a ticket to attend!

To purchase home game tickets using GoFan. scan the QR Code below.

We once again will be pre-selling tickets (cash only) to our students on the morning of each home game. In order for a student to be eligible for a presale ticket:

  • Students must have money to purchase the ticket with them as we will not accept money for tickets at the front desk.

  • Students must have a signed permission slip on the form provided the week of the game

  • Students must have their lanyard with their student ID.

  • Students will walk to DHS with a staff member after last bus call

  • Students who pre-purchase a ticket will be given a wrist band prior to leaving campus

Any students who are dropped off and are unaccompanied by an adult, will need to have their lanyard and student ID in order to purchase a ticket at the door.

Parents should be in the car rider lane (as depicted in the diagrams below) and ready for pickup no later than 8 pm.

Thank you for supporting DMS Athletics and GO FALCONS!
