Penn State football ticket, parking prices set to increase

The cost of Penn State football season tickets and parking passes are rising next season — the result of a new fee.

Fees will be added to sports tickets, parking and concessions as part of the new Legacy Fund campaign to raise money for scholarships and facilities, the team announced, calling it the “new era of college athletics.” This includes Beaver Stadium, which is undergoing a $700 million renovation.

Penn State football season-ticket holders will be charged an additional $20 per seat during the 2025 regular season, according to SI.com. Fans with football season parking passes will be charged an additional $45 per pass.

Fans will see increases to single-game tickets for all ticketed sports, season and single-game football parking, concessions, novelties and purchases at the Blue & White golf courses, according to the university.

“The decision to institute nominal fees was not taken lightly, but rather one focused on how to best support our student-athletes and the entire athletics department,” the university said in a press release. “Penn State Athletics has a strong foundation and an unmatched fanbase that will help attack this new era of college athletics as one Penn State community, with a presence felt across the country and around the globe.”

The renovations include 7,900 temporary bleachers installed for the 2025 season, where the press box and upper bowl were demolished, according to a news release.

At the completion of the project, the west side will feature suites and club levels for year round events. Additional concourses are also being installed, with a Field Level Concourse, Main Concourse and Upper Level Concourse set to double the space of the previous concourses on the west side.

New lighting, more escalators, elevators and pedestrian ramps will be added to the west side along with 135 new wireless access points to improve WiFi connection throughout the stadium.

“Beaver Stadium is home to the best fans in the country, who have created the best environment in college football,” football coach James Franklin said in the release. “These renovations will give Nittany Nation the opportunity to continue bringing the home field advantage in new and improved spaces.”
