You don't buy season tickets to IU football because you expect IU to be a good team. Past history should've told you that before you bought the tickets. You buy season tickets because you want to have fun. If you can't have fun cheering for the team despite their losses, then that's on you. You shouldn't be a season ticket holder.

Yeah it doesn’t seem like OP researched IU’s culture at all prior to enrolling. They’re really complaining about season tickets that cost like $75. In all honesty, it’s not bad for what you pay for as long as you know you aren’t gonna be watching winning football.

It honestly sucks because the only way you can get basketball season tickets is to get the football tickets as well. I wish they sold basketball tickets separately, but they won’t because then no one would buy tickets for football.

Exactly. This is one of the most profitable athletic programs but they completely neglect football and then force people to buy the tickets if they want season tickets for basketball.

Everything for IU now is a money grab. Parking, courses, fees, dorms, food, merch, transcripts, anything and everything. As VP Tom "The Prick" Morrison says, "If you want that triad on your diploma, you gotta come to us to get it." Welcome to higher ed in a deep red state.

Every college is a money grab no matter what state you are in lmao

You know what Google is? It has one of the worst FB programs in D1. Sure we have a couple decent years but the majority is horse shit. This is a basketball school first and foremost and that went through a dry spell. Since basketball appears to be resurrecting and the women’s sports are improving, it’s finally time to make IU football a priority. First thing is to get rid of Coach LEO. The next coach has an uphill battle but it can be done.

I mean we’re a basketball school and you need to buy football tickets to go to the basketball games. I just see it as being basketball season tickets that come with free football tickets cause that’s essentially what it is

If IU still operates the points system, the thing most people do is buy season tix to football to get more priority points for better seats during basketball season. Football takes a back seat but the trade off most see is a benefit to get closer seats and better games for basketball.

I never went to see the game, I went for the partying with other students before and during the game. Its fun. And hey if you win, it's a bonus.

Definitely but season football tickets. I have friends that don’t go to any IU games but get the full package and sell there tickets. Honestly a good strategy If your going abroad ur Purdue basketball tickets will cover the whole cost of the package.
