Purchase Homecoming tickets: We will begin selling tickets online and at the ASB window on 10/7/24, https://wa-issaquah.intouchreceipting.com.
Starting October 7, you can purchase online OR at the ASB Bookkeeper’s window.
Here’s how you can purchase your homecoming ticket online:
Go to https://wa-issaquah.intouchreceipting.com/ to sign into your (or your student’s) pay online account. Once logged in, please select the student for whom you are shopping. Under Shop select Items at Student’s School. On the next screen select the category Dances. On the next screen you will see two items available for sale – Homecoming Ticket for Student with an ASB card, and Homecoming Ticket for Student without an ASB card. Only one of these items will be available for each student to purchase based upon whether or not they have a current year ASB card. There is also the opportunity to make a donation to support students in financial need who would like to attend the Homecoming Dance.
Click on the Homecoming Ticket that is available for your student to purchase. You may only purchase one ticket for each student – each student must purchase their own ticket, even if you are going with a date or in a group. When finished go to Checkout.
Next you will be required to answer two questions.
- “Are you bringing a non-LHS guest?” From the drop down box, choose either yes or no.
- “If yes, what is their legal name and school?” If you answered no to the first question, simply answer N/A to the second question. If you answered yes to the first question, please enter your guest’s legal name and school.
You will then finish checking out and pay for your ticket.
If you are bringing a non-LHS guest, you will also be required to complete a guest pass. For more information about guest passes, see question below about buying a ticket for a guest who does not currently attend LHS.

Why does ASB host dances?
What is ticket cost?
Tickets are on sale online October 7-19 and tickets can be purchased online or at the bookkeeper’s office. For students without an ASB card who purchase on or before Friday, October 19 at 2:00 p.m., and for non-LHS guests the price is $25. In order to receive the ASB price of $20, the ASB validated card must be shown (bring your dates’ card!) at the time of ticket purchase. For students who purchase at the door of the dance, regardless of whether or not they have an ASB card, the price is $30.
What if I don't have a date?
What if I want to bring a date that doesn’t attend the school?
Each student is permitted to purchase one guest ticket. Guests must be in at least 9th grade and younger than 21 years of age. Any student who wants to bring a guest must submit a guest form (found online on the school website) and submit it to the main office no later than the Wednesday before the dance. All guests must present a valid photo id at the dance.
What are considered dance essentials?
What aspects of the dance does the school promote?
Liberty High School promotes attendance at the dance itself. Some students choose to make the dance more of an all-day event with a day-long schedule with time set aside for pictures, dinner, and the dance. Some students also like to continue to hang out with their friends after the dance has ended and choose to plan a party for afterwards. Students are not expected to participate in these additional activities, and they are not connected with or promoted by the school.
What are the dress recommendations for the dances?
What items do many students recommend acquiring for the dance?
What are some ways to save money when attending a dance?
Ways to reduce spending include:
- Buy your ticket ahead of time (they are more expensive at the door)
- Drive yourself or have your parents drive you
- Avoid over-priced restaurants, dinner will be fun no matter where you go
- Do your own hair, makeup, and nails
- Borrow or rent a dress
- Borrow shoes
- Parents take photos to avoid professional costs
Need financial assistance to help attend the dance?
Thanks to the PTSA Outreach, LHS counselors have access to a wide variety of dresses and tuxes for students in need, including many sizes, shoes, accessories, etc. Please contact your counselor and PTSA will help find an outfit to meet those needs. If the cost of attending the dance is a concern, simply complete a Scholarship Eligibility Application form (found in the Attendance or Counseling Office) and contact Danielle Zelinski or call at 425-837-4948.
Can I help ASB support students in financial need? Yes! Please consider making a donation to Homecoming so that students in financial need will be able to receive a ticket. This can be done online https://wa-issaquah.intouchreceipting.com/
