Football Ticket Prices?
Can anyone break down the cost of ticketes this season for faculty, staff and student?
I know the public price was raised to $57, but am unable to find the other categories.
Thanks.

Student price went up by 5 dollars. I think they're $27.

The price was 108 plus taxes and handling fees for the 4 big ten games, though thsy said they may open up the UC and Marshall game to the students in Aug. Which is crazy, no students? Best idea since, well its the worst idea ever.

It was like that last year too. You could buy the tickets for the B10 game as a package and buy the other games seperately. This makes sense. There is no school during those games, ergo many students(myself included) would not be able to go. Making games students can't attend part of the student ticket package--that's the worst idea ever.
BTW, if you go to hangonsloopy.com and read the 2004 ticket policy for students, there is nothing about they "may open it up for students in August". It simply says that "Students will have an opportunity to purchase tickets...in late August." No "may". "Will".

You can buy them in late August. What's the difference if you buy them in April or in August?

This year there are not as many home games... the various alumni clubs allow alumni the opportunity to buy tickets... the ooc games might go to alumni instead of the students, to fulfill the alumni allotment... as a student you should be happy that when you are an alum they will let you have access to tickets... this will also raise alot more $$ for the university (selling tickets for twice the price to alum instead of students)...
This might not be the reason for the wait... however I bet it is (the summer is prob. the deadline for alum to sign up for a game... those tickets left over will prob. go to the students)...

Faculty tickets are usually about 10 bucks cheaper than the public price. Some faculty can buy a full season ticket, and some can only buy a split season ticket.

I can't in good conscience condone any of the monetary values The Ohio State University applies to any of its many attractions, even if they "discount" student and alumni tickets off the "regular retail price." I think $108.00 is too much for a student ticket. *shrug* Just my biased opinion. Oughtta be about $10 per game. But then, I'm a poor muh'[censored]a.
