Buckeye fans to pay more next season

Columbus, OH – Ohio State University's Board of Trustees approved an increase in the cost of football and men's basketball tickets. Student tickets next season in those sports will rise a buck to $31. All other groups - including alumni - will pay two bucks more, resulting in a ticket price of either $62 or $72 depending on the seat location. Fees for men's basketball tickets will increase by a dollar for all groups and similar increases are planned, but not yet approved for football and basketball over the next couple years. OSU Athletic Director Gene Smith tells Mike Foley why the increases are necessary.
