Fairmont Senior High School

Attention Polar Bears. When buying your tickets from GoFan the most important step other than purchasing the tickets is redeeming the ticket at the gate. The tickets MUST be presented at the gate to a gate worker and THEN redeemed at that TIME. IF someone presents tickets that have already been validated and redeemed, they will NOT be admitted until additional tickets are purchased! PLEASE be aware the ticket(s) is NOT to be redeemed and validated until presented to a gate worker for confirmation of ALL purchased tickets. https://gofan.co/app/events/774488?schoolId=WVSSAC
