Priority Point System
As of 2009-10, the priority point system has been updated to ensure a fair and equitable allocation of seats in Ohio Stadium. All members at the Scarlet and Gray Level and above participate in the point system. In regard to calculating points, the Department of Athletics operates on a calendar year, beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31. The Buckeye Club deadlines will be strictly adhered to when allocating seats and tickets for home, away and post-season games.
The system works as follows:
