Ohio State is now selling tickets for its spring showcase at Ohio Stadium.
General admission tickets for the April 12 event at Ohio Stadium start at $8 on Ticketmaster, though the price increases to $15.50 including fees. Reserved seating options start at $20 ($28 including fees) with a limited number of club seats available for $35 ($45 with fees).
Although tickets are now on sale for the spring showcase, it remains unclear exactly what the spring showcase will consist of from a football standpoint. Ryan Day told the Board of Trustees’ athletics committee earlier this week that he expects the spring showcase to be different than spring games of past years.
“I think we have to be smart about how we handle this,” Day said. “When you look at the NFL model and they’re playing the number of games that they play in the NFL, we just played 16 games, so to think that we can continue with the same spring game or spring practice model, I think is asking for trouble, because of the amount of games now.
“It isn’t just right now, but in a year or two, I think you’ll look back and say to yourself, ‘Boy, that’s a lot of football.’ You look at what the Kansas City Chiefs just did and the run they went on (playing in three straight Super Bowls), that’s a lot of football over a few-year period. So we’re gonna look hard at that, but we’re also gonna have to reconsider exactly how we’re gonna handle the spring game. So we’re getting close, we’re not quite there yet, but I don’t think it’s going to look the same as it’s looked in the past.”
According to Ohio State’s release announcing the start of ticket sales, the spring showcase will include “a variety of different fan experiences,” including a pregame fan fest and the opportunity to take pictures with the national championship trophy, in addition to the opportunity to see the 2025 Buckeyes in action on the field for the first time.
The spring showcase, which will begin at noon on April 12, will culminate four weeks of spring practice for the Buckeyes, who will practice 15 times between March 17 and April 12.
