INDIANAPOLIS – Tickets for the 2015 Big Ten Football Championship Game will go on sale to the general public on Saturday, August 1 at Noon ET. The fifth annual Big Ten Football Championship Game will be played on Saturday, December 5, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The game will be broadcast nationally on FOX with kickoff set for 8:17 p.m. ET.

Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling (800) 745-3000. Tickets will range from $50 to $90 depending on the seat location and each order will be limited to eight tickets. In addition, every Big Ten Football Championship Game ticket includes complimentary admission to the Big Ten Fan Fest presented by Dr Pepper, to be held at the Indiana Convention Center on Friday and Saturday, December 4-5.

Tickets and VIP premium ticket packages can also be reserved at bigten.teamtix.com, a ticket reservation system launched by the Big Ten in partnership with Forward Market Media (FMM) and BTN. Powered by FMM’s proprietary software platforms, fans can go to bigten.teamtix.com to purchase, for as little as a $10 reservation fee, the right to buy “TeamTix.” If the specified team qualifies for the championship game, that fan is guaranteed a ticket to the game priced at face value. If the specified team does not qualify, the “TeamTix” expires and that fan forfeits only the reservation fee. Adding to the excitement, fans can also trade their “TeamTix” in real time in the Big Ten Forward Market, where prices can rise and fall with each team’s on-field performance as the season progresses.

Those interested in purchasing a suite for the 2015 Big Ten Football Championship Game should contact Stephanie Arnold of Indiana Sports Corp at (317) 237-5036.

The 2015 season kicks off in September, and the winner of the East and West Divisions will meet in the Big Ten Football Championship Game. The victor will earn the Big Ten Championship and a chance to play in one of the six bowls that comprise the College Football Playoff, including the Rose Bowl Game. Wisconsin won the first two championship games in 2011 and 2012, before Michigan State claimed the title in 2013. Ohio State was victorious in the 2014 Big Ten Football Championship Game and went on to claim the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship.
