Looking for Penn State-Oregon Football Tickets? Expect to Pay Dearly

We've covered what single-game, face-value tickets cost for Penn State's 2025 season. The resale market is far different. Even though this is the most anticipated Penn State football season since 1999, resale tickets currently are under face value for every home game but the Nittany Lions-Ducks "White Out." Here's a look at the lowest per-game resale ticket prices as of Aug. 12.

Pricing is per ticket based on buying two together through Ticketmaster on Aug. 12.

That's $246 total for Penn State's six-game home schedule aside from the game vs. Oregon. The combination of Penn State's three-game non-conference schedule to open the season, the Big Ten Championship Game rematch and Oregon visiting Beaver Stadium for the White Out have pushed the pricing disparity.

Assessing Penn State's 2025 schedule

The Nittany Lions' schedule is built for a playoff run. Penn State eases into the season with a gentle three-game slope, has bye weeks before playing Oregon and Ohio State and does not face Illinois (preseason No. 12) or Michigan (preseason No. 14).

But from a fans' perspective, the home schedule isn't thrilling. Penn State opens the 2025 season with games against Nevada and FIU, which rank 128th and 110th, respectively, in the ESPN College Football Power Index. Then the Nittany Lions host FCS Villanova.

Penn State's home schedule includes two teams ranked in the preseason AP Top 25: Oregon (No. 7) and Indiana (No. 20). Penn State doesn't have a defined Big Ten rivalry game and plays Ohio State, its closest thing to a rival, in Columbus. The Nittany Lions also get Iowa on the road while hosting Northwestern and Nebraska.

Depending on the teams' progress, the resale market could bounce for the Nov. 8 Penn State-Indiana game at Beaver Stadium. Otherwise, Penn State's home schedule likely will remain affordable on the resale market outside of the White Out game.

Watching Penn State football on the road

Penn State road tickets often will cost more than for home games. As of Aug. 12 on Ticketmaster, resale tickets for the Nov. 1 Penn State-Ohio State game in Columbus started at $298. Tickets for Penn State's Oct. 4 visit to the Rose Bowl to play UCLA started at $201. And resale tickets for the Nittany Lions' Oct. 18 trip to Kinnick Stadium to face the Iowa Hawkeyes started at $128.

Penn State also will visit Michigan State ($86) and Rutgers ($96) in November, with the resale market still trending high in those markets. Rutgers is a particularly popular destination for New York-area alums who can't get to Beaver Stadium.

We'll keep watching Penn State's ticket prices. But for now, the Penn State-Oregon game is looking like an investment.
