The Big Ten announced a stoppage of all athletic activities on March 12. Since then, all sporting events have come to a halt, leaving many anxiously awaiting their retun.

With ongoing uncertainty surrounding sports due to the coronavirus pandemic, IU Athletics announced three changes to football’s season ticket renewal process, according to a Tuesday release.

Fans are now able to purchase 2020 season tickets with a 5% down payment. The remainder of the balance will be divided into two equal payments due July 15 and August 15. In addition, IU Athletics created the “IU Athletics Ticket Assurance Plan,” providing ticket holders two options for refunds if any home games are canceled. 

Ticket holders will be able to choose from either a full refund for all canceled games or can receive credit to be used toward future IU ticket purchases.

For current season ticket holders, the renewal deadline has been extended two weeks until May 15. Customers with renewals placed by May 15 will be given priority for seat selection and parking for the upcoming season. After renewing season tickets, fans will be contacted with more information about the seat selection process.

“These are unprecedented times, and we understand that there is a great deal of uncertainty as we focus on the present but also look ahead to the fall,” IU Athletic Director Fred Glass said in the release. “These changes are designed to give our fans the confidence and flexibility that they need as they invest and support our teams moving forward.”
