Game Ticket Details
Game tickets are currently only available by purchasing an Official Penn State Tour package provided by Anthony Travel. Fans purchasing an official package prior to December 31, 2013, will be assigned seats based on Nittany Lion Club priority points. For fans who are not NLC members, seating will be determined by the date the travel package was purchased. After December 31, 2013, game ticket assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. All tickets will be allocated in the Official Penn State seating sections.
An unspecified number of individual game tickets in other areas of the stadium (not in the Penn State sections) may be available at a later date. The only way to assure seating in the Penn State sections is via the Official Tour packages.
