UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; - Penn State students wanting to travel to Northwestern for the Oct. 31 clash against the Wildcats can purchase a ticket at Gate B (northeast corner) of the Bryce Jordan Center Monday starting at 7:00 a.m.
A limited number of tickets will be made available on a first-come, first served basis. Each student will be permitted to purchase one $50 ticket and must present a valid Penn State id+ card to secure a ticket. All sales of all tickets will be done on a cash only basis Credit cards and checks will not be accepted.
Students wanting to purchase tickets so that they may sit together at the game will need to make their ticket purchase together at Gate B of the Jordan Center Monday morning.
Students can arrive at Gate B 90 minutes prior to the beginning of all road game sales.
If the number of students in line at 7:00 a.m. exceeds the number of available tickets, each student will be wrist banded and there will be a random drawing to determine the first number in line. No further wristbands will be issued after 7:00 a.m., and all tickets will then be sold in sequential order, beginning with the randomly selected wristband number. If someone is not present when their wristband number is called, they will forfeit their opportunity to buy.
If tickets still remain after 8:00 a.m. on Monday, the sale will move from Gate B to the Athletic Ticket Office inside the BJC Student tickets will not be available after 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
The Penn State-Northwestern contest begins at 3:30 p.m. CT/4:30 p.m. ET in Evanston. The teams will be meeting for the first time since 2006. The Nittany Lions lead the series, 9-3.
Penn State has the nation's largest full-season student section in college sports with more than 21,000 season ticket holders for home football games in Beaver Stadium.
