Verified Resale Tickets 
Single game tickets for some games will sellout. However, it is important to note that verified resale tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com, OhioStateBuckeyes.com and via the Ohio State Buckeyes app. The Department of Athletics firmly encourages fans to protect themselves from potential fraud by utilizing these sites for purchasing resale tickets over any other resale ticket options. 
Fans should be aware that tickets purchased from other resale marketplaces are not guaranteed as valid for entry into the venue. Fans purchasing tickets from unauthorized sources assume the risk that tickets purchased are counterfeit or the barcodes have been invalidated.
