OSU tickets - General Admission only

If you plan to go to the OSU game in Corvallis on 24 January, here is what we know about tickets.

Start by opening this OSU seating diagram.

You will see that a few sections are colored gray, including section D, which is behind the visitors bench, where you may have sat in seasons past.

These gray areas are sold out to season-ticket holders. No single-game seats are available in them at all. So this year, we aren't going to be sitting behind the bench.

Note that all other sections are various colors of orange. These are mostly general admission. That includes J-F, which are lower-bowl benches (not seats with backs) close to the floor. If you click around in this map you will find there are a few sections in the corners (like 2, or FF) that are actually reserved and have seats available.

Nevertheless it appears that the best policy for this game is to be at the door when it opens, zoom in and grab the best GA seat you can find. This will be expedited if you have the tickets in hand rather than buying them at the window. You can buy print-at-home tickets at the page you opened above.

The Travel page notes a decent hotel that is virtually across the street from Gill Coliseum.
