Every student with a ticket to Penn State’s White House game against Michigan this weekend will make it into the stadium, they just might not all be in the student section.
According an email sent by Penn State athletics to student season ticket holders, an error in the ticket sale process led to the student section being oversold. The student section is expected to be above capacity for Penn State’s homecoming clash this Saturday. To try and prevent an overpopulation crisis, Penn State athletics is offering students the chance to trade in their ticket for this weekend’s game in exchange for one of three ticket packages.
All of the packages include a chairback seat in the upper south endzone for the game, $10 in LionCash, and a 2013 White Out t-shirt.
In addition to the above benefits, student have the ability to trade in their ticket for one of the following packages:
- Either 50 percent off student tickets next season or two free tickets to next year’s Homecoming game.
- A $200 donation to THON in the student’s name.
- Pre-game on-field access to Penn State’s game against either Illinois, Purdue, or Nebraska later this season.
Students have until Oct. 10 at midnight to take advantage of the ticket exchange opportunity.
Penn State announced earlier that the game was a sellout, but also acknowledged that the university had set aside seats in the upper south endzone when this problem first came to light earlier this summer.
