UPGRADES: Patrons using an Ohio State University Student Football ticket for admittance to any home football game will be required to show a valid autumn semester BUCK ID or dependent spouse OSU ID at the gates for admittance. To obtain a ticket which does not require a BUCK ID for entry, the student ticket must be upgraded to the public price, in person only, at the OSU Athletic Ticket Office in the southeast corner of the Schottenstein Center.
Single game upgrades will be available beginning Monday, August 19, 2013. Upgrades will be facilitated during normal business hours only; upgrades will NOT be done the day of any game ? No exceptions. Only the original student ticket purchaser may upgrade their student ticket by presenting their ticket along with their valid OSU BUCK ID at the Athletic Ticket Office. Please Note: With the introduction of premier game pricing, upgrades for the premier game (Wisconsin) will be more expensive than upgrades for regular priced games.
In addition to paying the difference between the public and discounted price listed below, the following per-ticket service charges will also be assessed. The fee structure for upgraded student tickets will be on a graduated scale based on how many games a customer has upgraded that season.
