Ohio State has sold more than 56,000 football season-tickets for the second straight year.
LAS VEGAS — Ohio State’s football season-ticket sales remain high in the aftermath of its first national championship in a decade.
The school sold 56,537 season-tickets to the general public, faculty and staff this year, according to Brett Scarbrough, the senior associate athletic director for ticketing and premium seating.
The total nearly matched last fall, when Ohio State sold 56,998 non-student season-tickets, the most in at least 16 years.
Expectations are again high for the Buckeyes, who are expected to be near the top of preseason polls due to be released in the weeks ahead and are led by two of the most high-profile players in the sport between wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and safety Caleb Downs.
The Buckeyes also open with a marquee nonconference game against Texas at Ohio Stadium, a rematch of their meeting in a College Football Playoff semifinal in January, and host Penn State to begin the last month of the regular season.
Their five other home games are against Grambling on Sept. 6, Ohio on Sept. 13, Minnesota on Oct. 4, UCLA on Nov. 15 and Rutgers on Nov. 22.
They had eight home games a year ago, including the game against bitter rival Michigan.
Before last year, the Buckeyes had only twice sold more than 56,000 non-student season-tickets since 2009. They sold 56,484 in 2022 and 56,295 in 2010.
