Indiana Athletics Announces Additional Details On Football Season Ticket Plan

Indiana athletics has announced additional details on its plan for 2025 season football tickets in an email to season ticket holders.

Hoosiers On SI obtained a copy of the email sent Thursday, and most prominent in it was the plan to re-seat season ticket holders.

Those who purchase season tickets in the window before March 31 will later be asked to choose their seats in May.

“For the first time in three years, we are doing a full stadium re-seat, and we will use the IU Athletics Prior Point Systems to fulfill seat location opportunities and requests,” the email stated.

Indiana announced its plan to institute a Personal Seat Donation program on Wednesday. Season ticket holders will pay for a Personal Seat Donation in addition to the price of the ticket.

“This change is not only part of our efforts to drive revenue in the rapidly-changing world of intercollegiate athletics, but also is consistent with what a large majority of Big Ten (and other Power-4 conference) institutions utilize for their football tickets,” the email said.

The revenue generated from the Personal Seat Donations will support the Student-Athlete Scholarship fund. The revenue generated by Personal Seat Donations will not count toward the annual giving level for the IU Varsity Club, but priority points will be received for the donation if a season-ticket buyer is a current Varsity Club member.
