Here's a few from the 80s.
My college tix have my SSN# on them do I won't post it. They were about $95 for the season in 1994 for students.
'82 game at Hawaii,'84 at Cuse, ,87 at Iowa St and '89 at Minnesota.

Mine were one dollah per

I got some fcs season tickets this year for around $60.
Only four home games though.

in the late 60s a UT student got a ticket for $5

Yeah, but the stadium was uphill, both ways.

yup in the early 80's I could sell my Husker/Sooner ticket for $50 and double what I paid for the entire season

I went down to the game that season they lost to the Seminoles. FSU shut down the Buckeyes running game and Art Schlichter thru for an unheard of 450 some yds or sum such. Friends & GFs from H.S attending could always procure some duckets cheap. They lost by like 9 but the game didn't really feel that close.Fun fact Nick Saban was on Earle Bruce's staff
-
I hadn't ever considered going to a UNLV game because they are so terrible, but it might be a good way to check out the new Raiders stadium. You can probably get great seats for a fair price.
-
might get a free ticket

Only 5 home games?
This makes me laugh at all the fans today that insist you need to have at least 7 home games a year.
-
Regular season was 10 games back in the day. No CCGs and your bowl game made it 11.
For a 12-game regular season, well, you better have at least 6 home games.
Annual neutral site games notwithstanding.

Yes, the 12 game regular season only started on the 2000's. But I find it funny that fans today consider 7 home games as some God-given right that has been around forever.

I agree and I'll add that I think it is a mistake by the AD. Ohio State NEVER had trouble selling tickets, even for crappy-opponent games back in the day.
Now I can see evidence of demand softening. Maintaining demand is the key to keeping the gravy train rolling. Demand is stronger when you have six or seven homee games and only one or two crappy ones.

Huskers always had 6 home games in the 70s & 80s
7 in many seasons back then

It really is a great stadium, went to a game there last season and heading to another there in a few weeks.

There was probably 6 home games that year. They didn't include the first game of the season in the season pass because OSU was on quarters then and classes didn't start until after the season had started.

By the time I was there (93-97) the student season ticket frequently missed two games played before classes started.

Interesting. Looking at the OSU schedule in 1981, they did actually play 6 home games. First game of the season was Sep 12th at home against Duke. Other non-conference games were at Stanford and at home against Florida St. OSU beat Duke and Stanford, but lost to Florida St.
Ohio St went 6-2 in conference, losing to Wisconsin and Minnesota, and tied Iowa for first place. For the tie breaker, Iowa and OSU did not play each other (they were the only 2 Big Ten teams that did not play a full round Robin schedule that year).
Also Iowa and OSU both finished 8-3 overall (Iowa had beat Neb and UCLA but lost to Iowa St in non-conference). So they went to 3rd tiebreaker, which was who had gone the longest without going to the Rose Bowl, which was Iowa. Ohio St ended up going to the Liberty Bowl.
I miss the days when the Big Ten would schedule nothing but power teams in non-conference. It made the regular season more interesting.

You are exactly right. The home games were:
- 9/12 Duke, W
- 9/19 MSU, W
- 10/3 FSU, L
- 10/17 Illinois, W
- 10/25 Indiana, W
- 11/14 Northwestern, W
On the road they beat Stanford, Purdue, and Michigan but lost to Wisconsin and Minnesota for a regular season record of 9-3/6-2.
It was a goofy year in the league. They had adopted a nine-game full round-robin schedule except that Ohio State and Iowa were exempt and didn't play each other.
Ohio State and Iowa both went 6-2 and tied for 1st/2nd. Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin all went 6-3 and tied for 3rd/4th/5th. Everyone else was below .500.
Iowa went to the Rose Bowl based on the old "longest loser" tiebreaker because they hadn't been to a bowl since beating California in the Rose Bowl on January 1, 1959.
Iowa lost to Washington in the 1982 Rose Bowl. That was the first time the Big Ten representative had been any team other than tOSU/M since January 1, 1968 when Indiana lost to USC.

I think @LittlePig (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1540) and I were typing roughly the same thing at roughly the same time.
-
Ohio State and Iowa were exempted from the nine game full round-robin for two seasons and it ended up screwing Ohio State in both of them.
In 1981 (see above) the Buckeyes missed the Rose Bowl based on the longest loser rule. Had they played Iowa they'd have had an opportunity to earn the berth because the winner would have won the league outright at 7-2 while the loser would have fallen into the big tie for second at 6-3.
In 1982 the Buckeyes and Wolverines tied in the loss column with one loss each and the Buckeyes won the H2H game so they should have gone to the Rose Bowl, right? Well, no because Michigan's 8-1 was better than Ohio State's 7-1 so Michigan lost to UCLA in the 1983 Rose Bowl.

Big ten managed schedules, tiebreakers, statistics, bowls, like morons back in the day.
There was a period where only they counted bowl stats

Yeah I drove down to the Liberty Bowl that year. Ohio State played Navy. We ended up winning, but it was not best showing.

This is not the great Iowa Pre-Flight team we all know and love, that was the next season in '43.
10% tax seems high, no?

Off-topic, technically. But a quarter is a pretty good price.

Please note, taxes on entertainment were high, in 2006.

Prices were better in 1975, even for a lower deck box seat:
