Interesting to see prices, sales, goals for filling up stadium at Purdue.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue athletic department announced Friday that per-game football ticket prices for the 2018 season have been reduced for nearly 30 percent of Ross-Ade Stadium and a majority of sections won't see a price increase.
Season tickets for coach Jeff Brohm's second year go on sale Tuesday, Jan. 16.
"Our goal is to sell out Ross-Ade seven times in 2018," Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski said in the press release. "After a thorough review of our seating and pricing structure, we believe we have identified attractive options for all of our fans that also will enable us to maximize attendance and revenue."
The 30 percent reduction applies to the Prime ($280) and Sideline ($224) sections. Both sections also require a Legacy Fee of $150 or $75 per ticket, depending on the location. The press release stated fans who purchase season tickets will save an average of 30 percent off single-game prices.
Prices in Touchdown ($224), North End Zone ($175) and Value End Zone ($119) sections don't require a legacy fee.
Purdue has also allocated an additional 800 seats in the student section.
The Boilermakers announced an average of 47,884 for their six home games last season, the highest since 2012. The increase of 13,433 per game was the largest in the nation.
Information about group pricing, mini-plans and single-game tickets will be announced later.
Purdue opens the 2018 season Thursday, Aug. 30 against Northwestern. The Boilermakers also host Eastern Michigan (Sept. 8), Missouri (Sept. 15), Boston College (Sept. 22), Ohio State (Oct. 20), Iowa (Nov. 3) and Wisconsin (Nov. 17).
