COLUMBUS, Ohio – OSU’s Board of Trustees Friday approved increases in athletic ticket prices and fees in a move to increase revenue.
Football ticket prices for the public will go up by $9 per game and the new pricing structure allows athletic officials to designate up to two home games as “premier games” and price those between $79 and up to $125 and $150 per game or up as much as $175 for a single premier game in a season.
Student football ticket prices will go by $2 per game and will not be subject to the premier game pricing.
Men’s Basketball Tickets increase by $6 per Big Ten conference game for Personal Seat License and Reserved Public tickets in the lower bowl seats at Value City Arena and $4 per game for Reserved Public tickets in the upper bowl seats.
An increase of $1 per game for student tickets will be in place for conference games.
For conference games only, an increase of $4.50 per game for Faculty/Staff tickets in the lower bowl seats and an increase of $3 per game for Faculty/Staff tickets in the upper bowl seats.
The university reserved the option to designate up to five non-conference or conference games as premier games when Personal Seat License seats will be available at $47, Reserved Public lower bowl seats at $46, Reserved Public upper bowl seats at $25, faculty/staff lower bowl seats at $37, faculty/staff upper bowl seats at $20, and student tickets at $13 per game.
Membership dues and greens fees at the OSU Golf Course will also increase by 1.5 percent this year.
Department of Athletics officials will reportedly meet later this year to discuss cost-cutting measures.
