WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - In a concerted effort to get fans to return to Ross-Ade Stadium, Purdue athletics department officials today announced significant changes to football season-ticket pricing that will result in lower prices for nearly 90 percent of the seats in Ross-Ade Stadium.

"We want our fans back," athletics director Morgan Burke said. "We know there are many factors that have affected our crowds in recent years, and we are addressing the ones we can control. The product on the field is getting better, and that will go a long way in getting people back.

"But, at the same time, we know that every game being televised and the growth of digital and social media have made it easier for fans to stay home. And incomes, by and large, have remained stagnant the last five to seven years. So, by reducing the ticket price for a majority of our seats and continuing to place an emphasis on the fan experience, we hope Boilermaker supporters throughout Tippecanoe County, the state of Indiana, Chicagoland and beyond will come back to support our student-athletes and enjoy themselves for seven Saturdays."

All seats in the Prime, Sideline and Touchdown sections have been reduced to $224, plus the respective per-seat donation Legacy Fee of $250 (Prime) and $100 (Sideline). That represents a reduction of $49 per ticket in the three sections that account for 54 percent of the 57,236 seats in Ross-Ade. Furthermore, those who pay the Legacy Fee will be able to claim a larger percentage of their overall purchase price on their taxes.

The North End Zone section is being split into two categories - below the concourse ($175) and above the concourse ($119). Last year, all tickets in the North End Zone were $175.

South End Zone tickets are $119 each.

North End Zone tickets above the concourse and all South End Zone tickets are reduced to $98 each if four or more tickets are purchased.

There is no Legacy Fee for tickets in the Touchdown, North End Zone and South End Zone sections. Revenue generated from the Legacy Fund directly supports future investments in the football program.

Again this season, all season-ticket buyers will receive one access card for every ticket purchased for the popular South End Zone Patio.

The 2015 home schedule features non-conference games against Indiana State (Sept. 12), Virginia Tech (Sept. 19) and Bowling Green (Sept. 26) and Big Ten contests against Minnesota (Oct. 10), Nebraska (Oct. 31), Illinois (Nov. 7) and Indiana (Nov. 28).
