Can anyone tell me when student football tickets go on sale?

Also, is it first come first serve, or prioritized by class (senior, junior…etc)

Thank you in advance

OSU student here! I’m actually trying to find out when the tickets go on sale too haha, but I can tell you that they are prioritized by class

I think I remember that they sent out an email last year telling everyone the time and date they could buy their tickets

Thanks! I did some research and found the information packet from last season. You are both right. They will send an email with your priority level. Looks like it is a seniority system based on number of credit hours accumulated. Incoming freshman look to be level 4.

Here is the link from last year’s football ticket discussion

Specifically my info about getting tickets - many people said it was helpful:
"My sons have managed to get football tickets as freshmen and one year I did it for one of them because he was at work when his window opened. I suggest:

  • Know your window - exact date and time. Be ready and keep refreshing your browser beginning 1-2 minutes before your window opens. If you are a few minutes late, you may be out of luck. They sell that quickly.
  • Copy your code so all you have to do is paste when your screen is available.
  • Know exactly what tickets you want to order - familiarize yourself with the website ahead of time.
  • You probably won’t get Block O South, but will most likely be able to get Block O North or reserved seats.
  • Have all credit card and/or ticketmaster info ready to enter.
  • We have terrible internet where we live and still managed to get tickets in time.
  • Last year there was some weird glitch with our ticketmaster account so another son helped order tickets for his brother. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again!"

Looks like emails go out the 3rd week of May and may go to junk mail, so check carefully. Looks like the first window opened on June 1 last year for Rank 4 (highest ranking).
