Alright friends, let’s tackle how I actually scored those Depauw football tickets for their big home game. Kept hearing it was tough to get a good deal, so I figured I’d share my whole messy process.
Where I Started
First off, I had no clue where to even look. I punched “Depauw University football tickets” straight into my usual search thing. Tons of junk popped up, like sites I never heard of. Some showed tickets real cheap, which felt suspicious, honestly. Others wanted crazy money just for basic seats.
Next, I remembered the actual college site! Drove over to the Depauw Athletics page. Took some clicking around – seriously, why are these things never easy? – but eventually found the ticket hub.
The Actual Hunt
Finally saw the link for football tickets on their site. Clicked it, hoping for a nice list of games and prices. Well… surprise surprise, finding that game I wanted was like playing hide and seek. Their layout wasn’t exactly crystal clear, you know?
I found the game date eventually. Next step: seeing seat choices. Looked like they usually have:
- General Admission – the cheapest option
- Reserved Seats – middle of the road
- Some kind of “premium” spots – forget that, way too pricey!
Prices right there? Ha, not exactly. For reserved seats, it showed the section, but I had to go deeper to see the price. Annoying.
Pulling Out the Wallet
Okay, decided on General Admission. Less hassle, cheaper. Added them to the cart on their site. Easy enough so far.
Then came checkout. Had to create some account or log in, whatever. Typed in my email, made a password. Standard stuff. Entered my card details. Added a little donation box popped up? Gave the tiniest amount just so it’d stop asking.
Clicked “Pay Now”. Held my breath… and finally saw the “Order Confirmed” screen! Relief! Got that email receipt straight away too.
What It Actually Cost Me & Final Thoughts
For one General Admission ticket, I paid $10 bucks flat on their official site. Before all this, I saw reseller sites listing the same GA ticket for like $25+, plus fees! What a pain.
Here’s what really worked for me:
- Always start with the official college site. Don’t waste time on the other noise unless it’s sold out.
- GA is usually the best price. Unless you need a specific spot.
- Buy early. Heard prices can climb later, and good seats vanish.
- Budget for parking. Almost forgot – parking near the stadium cost me another $5 cash when I arrived.
So yeah, that was my whole ticket hunt. Bit frustrating clicking everywhere at first, but straight from the source was cheapest and easiest in the end. If you wanna catch a Depauw game? Just go official, grab that GA ticket early, and pay online. Done.
