Do you think there will be a high demand to attend a first-round home CFP playoff game in Beaver Stadium? Here is why I ask:

It certainly won't be a "half empty" student section...any student that wants a ticket will have to pay up for it, so if anything, the student seats that they sell should be pretty packed (though doubt it would be all 21k).

I'd guess that the stadium will be packed...but it won't be an extremely difficult ticket to get, and hopefully the resale market ends up reasonable for those that want to get in.

How much would students have to pay for playoff tickets? I think they pay $246 for the season which is 7 games ($35/game).

PSU fan the past several years: “Imagine a playoff whiteout. I hope I live long enough to experience one. I’d be all over it.”

PSU fan when the first playoff whiteout is announced: “No way am I going. Too f*cking cold. Who thought football in Beaver Stadium in December was a good idea? For f*ck’s sake.”

The NFL does it. Of course most fans aren't driving 2+ hours through the mountains to get to the game.

It is my understanding there are no “student” tickets, per se?

I paid $330 for my 2 seats in NL. I'm hoping for a Saturday afternoon game because I'm working until 0600 on Saturday morning.

824.00 for 4 seats in EG

Dang! When I was at State students could get season tickets for all 7 home games for $35! My times have changed!

That's what I was wondering. If students pay $246 for season tickets how many are going to stay in State College and pay $150 for a single game in cold weather so close to Christmas? I'm sure a lot more will stay if dorms are open and tickets are in the $25-$50 range.

Season parking passes aren't valid for commuters so it's difficult to impossible to plan a tailgate.

I don't think it's going to be the same atmosphere we're used to having. Maybe 90,000 with fewer students and a lot more fans of the visiting team. But what do I know?

I'm almost certain that tickets won't be $150 for students...though I'd guess that they will be more than the ~$35/game that they paid for the rest of the season.

If we had a contest and I had to guess a price point for student tickets, I'd go with $75. Although there is a rumor out there that they will be much, much cheaper.

I realized how much they changed when I heard that a friend's son is paying over $1200/month for his apartment downtown. 25 years ago, I was paying <$300/month.

Five of us split a place in gateway that was 1200/ month total back in 97 and 98.

We were like $292 each, so $876 for a three person in Cedarbrook from 97-99.
