The Indiana vs. Nebraska football game is sold out.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana football announced that its Homecoming game against Nebraska on Oct. 19 is officially sold out.
According to a social media post from Indiana on Thursday afternoon, all single-game tickets for the matchup have been sold.
The last time Indiana sold out a game was on Oct. 23, 2021, when they hosted No. 5 Ohio State, drawing 52,656 fans. They matched that crowd for a Sept. 18, 2021 game against No. 8 Cincinnati. Though Indiana has surpassed 50,000 attendees three times since, they hadn’t officially sold out until now.
Memorial Stadium’s capacity has been 52,626 since 2018, meaning the all-time record attendance of 56,223 set in 1969 for the Old Oaken Bucket game against Purdue will remain unbroken.
The sellout for the Nebraska game is influenced by several factors, including the No. 18 Hoosiers being unbeaten at 6-0 – their best start since 1967. Indiana’s exciting offense, led by quarterback Kurtis Rourke, and head coach Curt Cignetti’s success in winning over fans with his confident style and strong performance on both sides of the ball have drawn attention. Nebraska’s strong fan presence and the Cornhuskers’ 5-1 record in Big Ten contention also contribute.
Indiana has three more home games after Nebraska. The program has emphasized that tickets are limited for the Oct. 26 game against Washington, the Nov. 9 game against Michigan, and the Nov. 30 game against Purdue.
A check of available tickets on Indiana’s official website shows that for the Washington game, only the middle section of the upper level at Memorial Stadium has medium availability, with all other sections listed as having low availability.
For the Michigan game, the only sections with medium or high availability are in the north addition of the stadium. Just one section on the west lower level is listed as available, while the rest of the stadium has low availability.
The Purdue game has more availability, with single tickets still available in the lower west side, though only a few upper-level sections are listed at medium availability.
Increased demand for tickets has also impacted parking, which is becoming scarce in the official lots. Indiana no longer offers reserved parking for any remaining home games, and parking prices in the official lots have surged on the secondary market.
Prices for parking passes on sites like StubHub, SeatGeek, and VividSeats start at $247 and up for the official Indiana lots. However, fans still have alternatives, including private lots near the stadium or free parking at the Poplars and Henderson garages, with shuttles available to the stadium according to iuhoosiers.com.
