The student ticket request window runs from May 26 through June 4, after which eligible students will receive personalized purchase instructions via email by May 22. This early‑bird period is designed to reward the most dedicated Buckeye supporters with priority access to seats.
Mini‑Plan Options for Fans
On June 16 at 10 a.m. Eastern, the Pick 3 mini‑plan sale opens, allowing fans to select one game from either Ball State or Kent State and two contests from the Illinois, Maryland or Northwestern slate. Packages start at $205, providing a bundled experience for those who want to attend multiple games.
Alumni and Public Sales
Members of the Ohio State Alumni Association can purchase single‑game tickets starting June 23 at 10 a.m. ET, and the general public will have its turn on June 26 at the same time. The public sale also includes RV parking passes for those planning to camp on campus.
