But that process proved to be anything but foolproof.
Several students holding some of the 100 stolen tickets attempted to enter the dance Oct. 24 and were turned away, Sullivan said.
“We knew which numbers we had sold, so when those (unsold) numbers came through, we did not let those students in,” he said.
A few of the teens purchased legitimate tickets and were granted entry to the event, which carried a theme of “Jungle Love.”
Sullivan himself shouldered at least part of the blame for the heisted homecoming tickets.
“Because we’re the leadership class, we’ve been given opportunities and privileges others don’t have,” he said. “We need to be better guardians of that job.”
Student leaders and Sullivan decided at a post-homecoming evaluation meeting to keep an even tighter lid on ticket sales next year.
As for the student who allegedly lifted the tickets, “he paid a price,” Sullivan noted. “He missed out on parts of his school year he can’t get back.”
Despite the incident, Sullivan declared homecoming a success. “We ended up having one of our largest and most profitable homecomings ever,” he said. “We’re happy about that.”
