Monon Bell Tickets Go on Sale with a $5 Increase in General Admissions

1040

Tickets for the 123rd Monon Bell game went on sale on Monday, Oct. 24. The historic rivalry continues Saturday, Nov. 12, in Crawfordsville at Hollett Little Giant Stadium on the campus of Wabash College. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:07 p.m..

For the first time, new ticket options are available to fans. The standard Monon Bell Classic General Admission Ticket offers one-time game day entry to non-reserved seating areas of the Hollett Stadium for $25 per single-admission ticket.  

The Monon Bell Classic SuperTicket includes general admission access to Hollett Stadium, with one permitted exit and re-entry into the stadium, for $45 per ticket. The goal of the SuperTicket is to provide easier access in and out of the facility.

For the 12th time, the game will be televised nationally on AXS TV. A live stream will provide global access to the game for the first time.

Although DePauw has provided multiple ticket options and a live streaming service, the price of the general admission ticket has increased by $5 including service fees since last year.

Ranjit Singh ’18 expressed his discontent with the increase. “It seems like a way to squeeze money from students who are socially obliged to go to the event,” Singh said. “Raising the prices by $5 isn’t going to change their mind, but considering it’s a historical event it doesn’t seem in the spirit of the event to have students breaking the bank for tickets”.  

Wabash goes into the series leading, 60-53-9. DePauw’s current record is 5-2 compared to Wabash’s 6-1. The matchup will be the first for Wabash’s Head Coach, Don Morel and the fourth for DePauw’s Head Coach, Bill Lynch.
