University Park, Pa. — Penn State students wanting to travel to Iowa City for the Oct. 2 prime time clash against the Hawkeyes can purchase a ticket at Gate B (northeast corner) of the Bryce Jordan Center beginning at 7 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 27.
A limited number of tickets will be made available on a first-come, first served basis for the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams. Each student will be permitted to purchase one $65 ticket and must present a valid Penn State ID+ Card to secure a ticket.

Students wanting to purchase tickets so that they may sit together at the game will need to make their ticket purchase together at Gate B of the BJC Monday morning. Students may arrive at the Jordan Center at 6 a.m. on Monday for the sale.
