Most tickets for the Spring Game are general admission, meaning you can sit in any open seat. There are a handful of seating sections that are RESERVED and a General Admission ticket will not grant you entry.

RESERVED tickets (with a section, row, and seat number) are required in order to sit in the following areas:

• AA sections (nearest the field)
• Club Seats (red chaired seats on the west side of the stadium)
• Wheelchair Accessible seats (exchanges are available at the Gate 5 Ticket Office if you need a wheelchair accessible seat)

All game tickets will now be issued digitally to your smartphone! This means that your phone is your ticket into the game.

Download the Ohio State Buckeyes App, login to your ticketing account, and pull up your game tickets to enter!

You can check out this video which will walk you through pulling up your digital tickets on your phone. Remember these tips: 

• Screenshots will not get you in. All tickets use a dynamic barcode with an waving blue line that passes across the barcode. Barcodes update every few seconds. If you screenshot the barcode, it will not scan and you will be stuck outside the stadium. 
• You can add your tickets to your phone’s wallet. This will help keep them safe in case you don’t have connectivity. When you add them to your wallet, the barcode will go away and they will be turned into a ‘Tap-N-Go’ ticket – much like when you use Apple Pay or Google Pay at the grocery store. Make sure to have NFC turned on! 
• If you have multiple tickets on your device, transfer them to your family through the app ahead of time. This will make entry into Ohio Stadium quicker. It will also make it easier for you and the Ushers if someone needs to leave their seats to grab food or a drink during the game! 
• Only tickets generated through the Ticketmaster App or the Ohio State Buckeyes App will grant you entry into Ohio Stadium! 
• Be sure to visit our Digital Ticketing Guide for complete information on how to manage, scan, transfer, or sell your digital tickets! 

Guests are able to exchange their tickets for tickets that meet their disability-related need, based on availability. 

Guests requiring disability seating should contact the Athletics Ticket Office at least two weeks in advance, and are encouraged to make the exchange in advance of game day if possible. Advance exchanges are made at the Athletics Ticket Office located in the Schottenstein Center.
