Virtual 2026 football season ticket pricing?

[eddy4iu]

If accurate my Tier 1 seats increase by 15% vs last season. I was honestly braced for more.

Here you go....

Good stuff. Thanks Eddy.

 I just re-checked my math and my increase in Tier 1 per game ticket cost is actually up 30% vs last year.

My Tier 1 per seat cost for 2025 was $476 and the seat "donation" was $250 for a total of $726. There were 7 home games last year so my per game price (not including seat backs & parking) was $103.71

If this virtual pricing is accurate my Tier 1 per seat cost for 2026 is $632 and the seat "license" is $450 for a total of $1,082.  There are 8 home games next year so my per game price (not including seat backs & parking) will be $135.25

So, my per game price per seat is going up 30%, not 15%

It will be interesting to see how much seat back and parking pass prices will go up.

At the end of the day though, it's just what it costs to enjoy a REAL football program - I'm all in!

Definitely a hefty increase. I'll be moving up a tier this year too, so I'll feel it all around.

going to jump in on season tickets this year.  can someone give me a high level overview of how the different tier sections work, along with if one makes a donation in addition to their tickets?

 

also, what is a "per seat license" when viewing the 3D link?  Is this replacing the "donation" verbiage?

Here's a seating chart from last year showing the different tiers - haven't looked closely enough to the virtual chart for this year to see if tiers changed but I doubt it since ticket holders can keep their same seats. No re-seating this year and not supposed to happen until 2028 season but that can always change.

You're welcome. Best of luck and Go Hoosiers!!!!!

Join the Varsity Club and get yourself a Rep to answer your questions and help guide you in maximizing points for your contributions.  I did that MANY MOONS AGO and it helped a lot.  Scott Dolson was my VC Rep for many years. I cherish those years and the relationship that we established and maintain today.

So is a season ticket newbie pretty much looking at only qualifying for tier 5 (assuming no large donation) seats? 
Does being an alum help in any fashion?

I believe the renewal form says no new Tier 1 or 5 season tickets. So if you get in off the wait list, you're looking at Tier 2, 3, or 4.

Here's an updated seating chart with Tier info for 2026 - it's a LONG link but hopefully it works.
