Ohio State has set its ticket prices for its eight home football games in 2024.

Ticket prices for next year’s eight games at Ohio Stadium will range from $46-109 for Ohio State’s second game of the season against Western Michigan, which will have the cheapest tickets of the year, while tickets for the marquee game at the end of the regular season against Michigan will start at $192 and increase to $458 for the most expensive seats.

Ticket prices for the least expensive game are increasing slightly next year, as tickets for this year’s first two home games against Youngstown State and Western Kentucky ranged from $39-101; prices for next year’s Michigan game are significantly higher than for any game this season, as the ticket prices for this year’s marquee game against Penn State ranged from $119-308.

As it has since 2022, Ohio State will sell both season tickets and single-game tickets in six different seating zones with varying prices for each zone. Ohio State has not yet announced when 2024 ticket sales will begin.

Season tickets for the general public will start at $596 in Zone 6, the least expensive zone, and increase to $1,365 for Zone 1, the most expensive seats. By comparison, Ohio State’s 2023 season ticket prices ranged from $398 to $944. However, Ohio State will have two more home games next season than it has this season.

Ohio State also requires a per-seat contribution to the Buckeye Club, which helps fund scholarships for Ohio State athletes, to purchase season tickets in Zones 1-5. The required contributions will remain the same as last season: $1,500 in Zone 1, $1,000 in Zone 2, $500 in Zone 3, $250 in Zone 4 and $100 in Zone 5.

The full table of ticket prices for the 2024 season, excluding the required Buckeye Club contributions for season tickets:
