The Ohio State Department of Athletics continues to work with state and local health officials on protocols and adjustments for hosting events during the pandemic.
The decision was made that family members of the players and coaching staffs of teams competing this fall will no longer be permitted into any university sporting event.
The decision not to allow families at football games will be reevaluated prior to Ohio State’s final home football game of the season, Dec. 12 against the University of Michigan. This decision aligns with the Columbus Department of Health’s stay at home advisory, which was issued November 18th.
Single game tickets typically go on sale in July – exact date TBD. Subject to availability, single game tickets may be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com, on the Ticketmaster app for iOS or Android, or in person at the Ohio State Athletics Ticket Office in the Schottenstein Center.

Fans wishing to bring small children (under the age of 2) to any of these events may purchase a lap ticket at a discounted rate for their infant.
