Ohio State University has failed to sell out its 12,000-ticket allotment for the upcoming Cotton Bowl. Despite being one of the most successful college football programs in the country, the Buckeyes have struggled to fill their quota for the highly anticipated game against the University of Utah.
The news was first reported by The Dallas Morning News, with sources revealing that as of Tuesday morning, Ohio State had only sold around 9,300 tickets for the game. This underwhelming sales performance comes as a surprise to many, as the Buckeyes have a strong fan base and a rich history of success in college football.
The Cotton Bowl is set to take place on New Year’s Day at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Ohio State was allocated 12,000 tickets for the game, but it appears that they will fall short of selling out their allotment. This could potentially have financial implications for the university, as any unsold tickets would likely result in a loss of revenue.
It is unclear why Ohio State has struggled to sell out their ticket allotment for the Cotton Bowl. Some speculate that factors such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the distance between Columbus, Ohio, and Arlington, Texas, may have deterred fans from making the trip to support the team.
Despite the disappointing ticket sales, Ohio State is still expected to have a strong showing at the Cotton Bowl. The team is coming off a successful season and will be looking to end it with a victory over Utah. Fans who are unable to attend the game in person can watch live coverage on television.
