CARTHAGE, TX - August 27, 2026 — Carthage Independent School District (Carthage ISD) has selected Hometown as its official digital ticketing partner, implementing Box Office across the district's athletic programs to deliver a faster, more convenient experience for fans, families, and administrators.
Carthage is home to one of the most decorated football programs in Texas, with 11 state championships, and its games regularly fill the stands. A modern, reliable ticketing experience helps the district move those fans through the gate quickly and keep the focus on game day for Bulldog supporters throughout the year.
Behind the scenes, Box Office trades cash handling and manual counts for cashless, mobile entry and a consolidated view of every sale, reducing post-event reconciliation and giving administrators clearer visibility into revenue for each event, from season openers through the postseason.
"We’re pleased to announce Hometown as the official ticketing platform for Carthage ISD athletic events. As we continue to enhance the experience for our students, families, and fans, Hometown provides the simplicity, reliability, and support needed to streamline event management and improve access to game-day events,” said Scott Surratt, Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at Carthage ISD. “Their platform will help create a more efficient experience for both our staff and community while providing greater visibility into every event.”
"Carthage ISD has one of the most respected football traditions in Texas, and earning the trust of a program like that means a lot to us," said Dennis Levene, CEO of Hometown. "We're proud to handle the gate so their staff can stay focused on the Bulldogs and the fans who show up for them."
By selecting Hometown, the UIL's Official Digital Ticketing Sponsor, Carthage ISD joins a growing number of Texas districts embracing a modern, streamlined approach to managing athletic events.
