Tickets
The Buckeyes had their first sub-100,000 crowd in 16 years against Rutgers. The nice forecast might be enough to keep it from happening again. Maybe.
If you are a parent with kids who have been bugging you to take them to a game, this is the weekend to do it.
The “get in the door” price is currently $50 on the official Ticket Exchange, but those prices should continue to fall as kickoff gets closer.
Tickets should be cheap and plentiful. However, you might not want to go the old-fashioned route and scalp a seat outside the Horseshoe.
OSU has said that they have seen a big increase in fakes, especially with “print at home” tickets.
They suggest you only buy tickets through Ohio State Athletics Ticket Office, Ticketmaster, and Buckeyes Ticket Exchange.
If you’re willing to risk buying from a scalper or a fan with extra tickets outside the stadium, look for someone with traditional-style tickets, not print-at-homes.
If you find one, there is a decent chance you’ll be able to get in the door for $20 or less per person and be in your seats in time for Ramp Entrance.
Gates at Ohio Stadium open at 1:30 pm, two hours prior to kickoff.
Ohio Stadium Bag Policy
You may not bring bags or purses of any size into Ohio Stadium. According to OSU’s website, “Wallets and wristlets no larger than 5”x8”x1” are permitted. All items and persons entering Ohio Stadium are subject to security screening and inspection.” You can find the complete bag policy here.
Skull Session
The band’s traditional pregame warmup concert starts at 1:30 pm in St. John Arena. Doors at St. John open two hours prior to the start of Skull Session, at 11:30 am.
Parking
Lots surrounding the stadium and St. John Arena are restricted to permit holders only. Parking in other campus lots, such as on West Campus, is available for $20 per car. Current A, B, and C parking pass holders can park in those lots for free.
