WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Buoyed by back-to-back years of significant attendance increases, combined with burgeoning momentum, Purdue Athletics is accepting deposits on new football season tickets for the 2019 season.
Deposits are $50 per ticket and may be made online or by calling the Hayes Family Athletics Ticket Office at 765.494.3194.
Season-ticket renewals will begin online in mid-January.
From 2016 to 2018, the Boilermakers boasted an average increase of 16,600 fans per game at Ross-Ade Stadium. Their average of 51,120 this season - which included sellouts for two of the final three games - marked the highest since the 2008 campaign. Purdue had the nation's greatest increase from 2016 to 2017.
"Without question, our fans have done a tremendous job of helping us," head coach Jeff Brohm said. "This is our football team, but it's our university, and really, it's everybody's team, the community's team and all the fans' team, and we want everybody to feel a part of it. So we just try to make sure we're doing our part to make the game exciting, fun to watch and that when people watch us, they see us giving great effort, and they see our guys into the game, wanting to do everything we can to play to win."
Purdue completed the 2018 regular season with a 6-6 overall record and a 5-3 Big Ten mark, its first winning conference campaign since 2006 and good for a second-place tie in the West Division (with Iowa and Wisconsin). It marks the Boilermakers' highest finish since divisional alignment began in 2013.
The Boilermakers are heading to their second bowl game in as many seasons under head coach Jeff Brohm and will learn their destination and opponent Sunday.
Next season, the Boilermakers will feature the nation's most exciting player in sophomore-to-be wide receiver and Heisman Trophy candidate Rondale Moore, who leads the country in receptions and ranks fourth in all-purpose yards this season.
Purdue invested in the fan experience at Ross-Ade in 2018, installing a new sound system and a brick façade at field level and making branding and signage enhancements throughout the stadium.
