Hosting home playoff games

I know this subject has been discussed in the past but my memory is failing me on a couple questions. Does the home hosting school get any part of the ticket revenue? Does the home hosting school get all parking and concession money or do they have to share with OHSAA? Does the OHSAA pay travel costs for team travel expenses? Does hosting a home playoff game financially benefit the hosting school?
 
 
I believe OHSAA gets all ticket money. Hosting school keeps all parking/concession money and gets a stipend from OHSAA. No travel costs for teams , officials get $1 per mile for anything over 50 miles one way.
 
I believe the host school gets $2,250 flat fee with the intention that the game manager will stipend the workers (P.A., clock operators, etc.). There is a provision for added expenses for security and/or EMT if necessary. Schools can charge up to $5 for parking, which they keep, and they keep all concessions. All the ticket revenue goes to the OHSAA.
The officials are paid by the OHSAA.
If any of this is incorrect, I'm sure it will be noted in a positive, caring manner.
 
1. No, IIRC OHSAA keeps all ticket money
2. Host School gets to keep all parking money as well as concession money
3. I don't think visiting school gets any money
4. I think host school gets paid a "rental fee" from OHSAA (Maybe $1,500 at most?) outside of that, I think the only financial benefit they get is from parking/concessions.

I could be wrong on all of this, but that's how I remember it.

But when ordering tickets online, they both teams and ask which team you are buying tickets for. I assumed (yea I kow what assume means) this meant the school gets some of the ticket money
 
I know our school, Coldwater, never believed in charging for parking for playoff games. AD would tell me it is a hassle, and never cared to fleece the fans who supported all yaer. I dont even recall seeing surrounding businesses who allow people to park charge either

Coldwater? Way too many harvested fields up there within walking distance to be able to charge for parking by week 11.

when we were in middle school, take the drain culvert (48") for about 200 ft to a grate in the parking lot. Make sure no one is near, remove grate and emerge from below. This was inside paying gate.
