For fans with Olympic Trials tickets, information about the event has been slow to come and sometimes confusing. TrackTown USA CEO Michael Reilly says it's because they had to nearly reinvent the ticketing system in the span of a few days. In April, the state's guidance might not have allowed for any spectators.
The quick flip to low risk is a good problem to have, said Reilly, but, he told KLCC, “Being able to manage all of the questions that all of those almost ten thousand people have, rightly so, is just a lot of volume and not enough time to get all the information out sometimes."
Reilly said details on how to get electronic tickets went out to ticketed customers today (Thursday). He said to allow plenty of time at the gate for several levels of security, from bag checks to ticket checks as well as health screening.
There will be options for people who don't have a cell phone, or don't wish to download the ticketing app (Go Ducks Gameday) or the health screening app (Clear). For ticketing issues, fans should go to the south end of the Knight Law School building on Agate. For health screening, a photo or copy of a vaccination card will suffice, and fans may answer health screening questions verbally to get in.
