Wake Forest Athletics Unveils New & Improved App

DOWNLOAD NOW: Apple | Android

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- In the continued effort to create the Best Fan Experience in North Carolina and connect with all of Deacon Nation, Wake Forest Athletics has teamed up with SIDEARM Sports to update its app to enhance the fan experience and expand the information available within it for all users. It is free to fans and can be downloaded on both the App Store on Apple Devices and the Google Play Store on Android models.

"Wake Forest Athletics was thrilled to partner with SIDEARM and create a one-of-a-kind user experience for our fans," Senior Associate AD Barry Faircloth said. "Deacon Nation can now see updates, news, scores and listen to broadcasts in just a few clicks on their phone. I am extremely appreciative of the hard work our staff has put in to create this unique platform for our fans."

To access the new app, you can click on either of the links above for your respective device or search "Wake Forest Demon Deacons" in the iOS or Google Play stores. The app is fully integrated with GoDeacs.com and content from the site will appear on the app in a mobile form.

Fans will be able to get the latest news on their favorite Demon Deacon teams, view team schedules and rosters, read content and watch videos available from GoDeacs.com/watch, visit the Deacon Shop, purchase tickets and stay connected to all the Deacs social media accounts.

For fans unable to attend a game, Deacon Nation can utilize the app to listen to Stan Cotten and the Wake Forest Sports Network's radio broadcast of any football or men's basketball game.

Push Notifications

In order to stay up to date with the latest Wake Forest Athletics news, fans will be presented with the option to opt into push notifications upon downloading/updating the app. Fans can choose to receive all notifications, or select the specific sports for which they want to receive updates. Notifications will be restricted to breaking news, victories, final scores from games, scheduling announcements and important ticket sales dates.

Tickets

When Wake Forest has the ability to host fans at its venues, fans will be able to access and receive their tickets directly via the app.

Not only does mobile ticketing adhere to COVID-19 health and safety guidelines, but it will allow fans greater convenience, security, and control over their tickets while also minimizing counterfeiting, loss or theft of paper tickets.

Wake Forest football tickets, with the exception of suites and club seats in McCreary Tower, will now arrive via email with an embedded link to download and save tickets via their smartphone's wallet. Ticket holders will have the option to transfer or return tickets from their My Account page at GoDeacs.com/tickets or within the athletics app.

Once Wake Forest is approved to allow fans in its venues, email delivery and additional instructions will be shared. If supporters have additional mobile ticketing questions, they can contact the Wake Forest Ticket Office via email (tix@wfu.edu) or by phone at 336-758-3322 ext. 1.

Feedback

As fans experience issues, positive or negatives, Wake Forest encourages users to email wfsports@wfu.edu with those thoughts.
