Their official word is they won't be. Others here say they say this every year but every year they sell them.

But atleast in previous years, they would have already been on sale by now.

Last year Tickets to Miami (OH) went on sale around Aug. 5.

It seems there really won't be any General Tickets sold for the season. www.hangonsloopy.com now mentions that they don't anticipate any Public Buy tickets to be on sale for football. Pretty disappointing as I was looking forward to going to the home opener, but I think my dad and I will still try to get tickets on gameday since we'll be in the area.

[jameswes44]

you mean getting at the Schoot there early right????? We need to keep that on "the low".......what time should you stand in that line and what time does the ticket box open? I thought of getting there about 5am.

[jameswes44]

I meant the Schott...sorry!

those are nice! unless it's the first couple rows, there's no difference in the C deck.

Just paid $1210 for mine, got tired of waiting for the website, and don't want to chance scalping, or soing to the Schott early in the morning...I like the peace of mind knowing I just need to get my gameface on at Hineygate.

I would think 5am might be a little early for the early season games, but tix this year are ridiculous. I actually pieced mine together through a broker, but have been going for 3K a pair recently on ebay.

Two weeks of pay...OUT

It's all worth it tough

There should be 41 or 42 rows to the top of C Deck in that section. The first 5 rows you'd walk down steps to get to...then row six is directly across from you as you walk in...so you have 23 rows to walk up (not terrible).

Actually at the 40 to 50 yard line, those are really nice seats IMO.

Thanks, I am pleasently surprised to have gotten these tickets....but until I sit in them though I'm skeptical that there will be something wrong with them, on the surface they seem to be soooo much better than the tickets i got last year.

I disagree. Last year for the UT game I was in one of the top rows of C deck and the press box totally blocked my view of the scoreboard in the open end. To the extent that the small scoreboards on the ring of the stadium between B and C deck do not have the official game time, everyone in the section was clueless regarding how much time there was in the game. Needless to say, time was an important factor in last year's game. I've never been so frustrated due to crummy seats.

[BuckeyeSkins]

I've often thought about going to the Shoe the day of the game and trying my luck with a scalper but something keeps holding me back. I just don't know. I'm afraid that if I put out money for a couple tickets I'll find out when I try to go in they are counterfeit or stolen. I know I'm probably paranoid but those thoughts still pass through my mind.

[Padraig]

You're not paranoid. I've seen it happen a few times each year the last few seasons where someone has "replacement" tickets (which obviously take priority over cancelled tix) and someone else is in their seat. The people with the "invalid" tickets are taken to customer service to: a.) try to find out where they got the tix, and b.) see if accomodations are able to be made for them depending on the situation.

Somehow the cancelled tickets still made it by the ticket takers (at times), but stadium officials are harping on the fact that if the scanner doesn't read a ticket correctly not to admit the person. It was stressed very much at this years meetings, in which case you're potentially out the cash and not in the stadium.

Demand for OSU football tickets soars

Buckeyes official says that all home games have sold out, meaning $35 million in revenue.

Friday, August 25, 2006
COLUMBUS — The cost of attending Ohio State University may be rising every year, but students do get one enviable perk: access to football tickets.
OSU director of ticketing Bill Jones said the school had a 100-percent renewal rate on season tickets and has sold out all of its 2006 home games before the opening kickoff again, generating a projected $35 million in revenue.
<!--endtext--><!--endclickprintinclude--><!--startclickprintinclude--><!--begintext--> But a spike this year in requests from students — who always get first dibs — meant some staff, faculty and alumni got their applications back in the mail with refunds.
"Every school is different, but we try to accommodate every student possible," Jones said. "We want them to have a great experience. It's the main reason why we're here."
Student ticket-package requests rose from 24,500 last year to 31,000, while applications from alumni (who get two tickets to one game) rose from 43,500 to 80,000.
Interest in the Buckeyes has escalated with the success under coach Jim Tressel, and ticket supplies dwindle even more quickly whenever Michigan plays in 102,329-seat Ohio Stadium.
"We had to laugh about the demand this year," Jones said. "One individual commented that we could have had 125,000 seats and it still wouldn't be enough. That's quite possible. We're fortunate that Buckeye fans are very loyal supporters and will order tickets year in and year out."
