COLUMBIA, S.C. — School is back in session, so the fall sports season is about to begin.

Are ticket prices set by the district or schools?
Are there different prices depending on the sport, gender and/or level of the team (football, girls’ and boys’ basketball, JV versus varsity)?
What are the prices of tickets for the 2023-2024 school year?
Any discounts available (senior/family/military)?
