Hi fellow buckeyes fans.
I'm a french student doing my master degree in France. As a part of my phd i will have to go to OSU during november 2008. I would be very interested in getting tickets to football game, especially the Michigan's one.
Does anyone know how i can buy tickets and at what cost (and yes i know that the Michigan's game will be very expensive) ?

The Ticket office will probably have some available for the early non-conference games (around $60-$70). Check the ticket forum here at BP

If you are enrolled for the Autumn quarter, you should be able to purchase student tickets for the entire season, I'd imagine. Student ticket purchasing opens up around April and costs around $200 for the whole season. You could sell the tickets for the home games you can't attend and could make a nice little profit, though probably not as nice of a profit nowadays with the conversion rate.

Hope you can make it! It's the best American football game you could possibly experience!

I'm looking at a 900$ offer right now for all of the home game (for one season ticket), does that sound like a fair deal to you ?

On pourrait vendre des billets pour les matchs ? domicile, vous ne pouvez pas y assister, et ainsi apporter un joli petit b?n?fice, mais probablement pas aussi agr?able d'un profit aujourd'hui avec le taux de conversion.

J'esp?re que vous pourrez en faire! C'est le meilleur jeu de football am?ricain, vous pourriez peut-?tre l'exp?rience!

It depends on where the seats are. Are you going to be enrolled at OSU? If so, you'll be able to get them for much cheaper than that (although the seats might not be as good).

I'm not going to be enrolled. So is 900$ a fair deal for one season ticket with the Michigan game in it ?

Considering the Michigan game alone could cost you $900, I'd say you're getting a good deal. Get the tickets and enjoy your stay in Columbus!
