Tickets are $120 each and the sale begins on Ohio State's ticketmaster website at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Ohio State has 17,500 tickets to sell for the Sugar Bowl, and the Buckeyes are getting right to business. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. on Wednesday at Ohio State's ticketmaster website. Seats are $120 each plus a service charge.
Schools are given ticket allotments for bowl games, and if the school can't sell the seats, the school foots the bill for whatever tickets are left. That happened to Ohio State with the Fiesta Bowl two years ago.
So the school stressed in a news release today how much Ohio State would like fans to buy tickets through the school instead of another outlet.
"The game presents an interesting challenge for our fans," OSU athletic director Gene Smith said. "This is a Tuesday night game in New Orleans and we know that we'll have the support of Buckeye Nation there, but we are really encouraging and hoping that our fans will purchase their tickets through Ohio State. These tickets will be some of the best available in the public sales and will ensure seats in the Ohio State rooting sections in the Superdome."
