Office postpones sale of
tickets

Originally, the Athletic Ticket Office planned
to begin selling single-game tickets for the Sept. 15 Purdue-Notre Dame
game in Ross-Ade Stadium today. However, those plans have been changed
to accommodate procrastinating season ticket purchasers.
"If we went ahead with single-game sales of Notre
Dame tickets, we would run the risk of running short for fans who want
to see all six games in Ross-Ade Stadium," ticket manager George Ade
said. "We have to protect those tickets for all fans, including students
just getting back to campus."
Tickets for the Purdue-Notre Dame game will be
"protected" until as late as game day, Ade said, and a determination
will be made in the coming days whether to hold the remaining Notre
Dame tickets until game day.
Thus far, approximately 42,000 season tickets have
been sold for games in the 67,332-seat stadium. Last year 43,700 season
tickets were sold.
Season tickets are $72 for students, $154 for faculty
and staff and $192 for the public. A south end zone season ticket is
available for just $120.
Students can buy a Platinum Card package, which
includes passes to every intercollegiate sporting event at Purdue, for
$178. A Gold Card ticket package, which guarantees the holder admission
to every sport other than men's basketball, is $90.
The ticket office, open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday
through Friday, is located in the Intercollegiate Athletic Facility
and can be reached by phone at (765) 494-3194 or (800) 49-SPORT. Fans
can renew season tickets online at purduesports.com by clicking on "Tickets"
on the left side of the page.
