Ohio State football prices announced for 2024
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Ohio State University’s Board of Trustees approved next year’s football prices at its full board meeting Thursday afternoon.
The board unanimously voted to approve the updated ticket prices. While prices vary, fans will have to fork over at least $50 more to see the Buckeyes play Michigan than in 2022.
Ohio State began charging a $2 fee per ticket per game for stadium preservation costs, beginning this season. That preservation fee will remain. For clarity, NBC4’s values do not include this fee.

Ohio State began splitting Ohio Stadium into zones for the 2022 season. Instead of having two pricing options for reserved seating and box/club seats, ticket buyers can choose among six zones around the stadium.
The priciest option, zone 1 encompasses just two sections above the 50-yard line. The other zones fan around the ‘Shoe’s levels and out from the center of the field, with the most-affordable zone 6 lining the edges of top rows.
With two more home games, season ticket prices are significantly pricier compared to the 2023 season. Prices for zones 1-5 are between $2 and $78 more expensive compared to the same number of home games in 2022. Zone 6 ticket prices are down compared to more than $100 compared to 2022.
