Anyone heard how they are going?
I’m sure they are up,just curious if anyone has heard anything about how many have been sold?

Season ticket sales

- Start date
Judging by the seat selection process, I’d say they are way up. The sections were filling in fast.
My seats ended up better than expected. Bottom row in section 106.
I've heard nothing, but I fear gains as a result of success won't be as significant because i think the PSD is going to offset those gains to some degree. Hopefully not.
I’m in 105 row 10
Season ticket holders should increase this year, how much we will find out. Better games at IU so people can see a better product on the field.

Section 107, row 7. Despite not being able to select early in the process, I'm very pleased with my seats. Can't wait, Go Hoosiers! If I remember correctly, I was in tier 2 and those seats worked out to be approximately $92/ticket with the included donation to the varsity club. Yes, higher in the past, but still not bad. I suspect a few will not renew due to the higher price, but would guess that would more than be made up for by more people buying tickets due to our success on the field.
Single game tickets are for sale starting today. I went to the site to see what was available and it looks like the lower half of the west side is more or less sold out. The upper half had quite a few openings. The east side stands had a lot of openings.
I was looking at the Old Dominion (opener) & Illinois (B1G opener). It'll probably take a few wins to show it wasn't a flash in the pan to get consistent sell outs, but the pre-sales look generally strong.

I’m somewhat concerned there will be 10k Illinois fans at the game. Honestly thought we’d do a lot better than what the map shows. It will be a gut punch not to sell out the opener.
I think we need to wait and see how single game ticket sales go. Those just went on sale to donors. July 8th single game tickets go on sale to the general public.
Illinois doesn’t travel that well, 5K would be worst case, just my guess maybe I’m wrong.
But yea, we need to sell out every game. Maybe it’s okay if cupcake games #2 and #3 are a little short, especially if it’s really hot like those games can be sometimes.
Lots of people are not thinking football right now.
The die hard fans like us get our tickets early.
I think when it’s gets to August,sales will pick up.
If the weather is good for the opener I could see there being a big walk up crowd.

ODU won’t sell out. Neither will KS or ISU.
Not selling out the opener (ODU) would be disappointing. I thought with last year and people missing football during the offseason and all our new and exciting players it would sell out.
The other two cupcakes I can mostly understand.
This would show how small our football fanbase still is.

I think there's a chance it'll be a TECHNICAL sellout. But I certainly agree the stadium won't be full.
Maybe HS band kids will fill up one of the games a little more. I'd wager Band Day will likely be KS.
I'm hoping some day not to need Band Day events to boost ticket sales and attendance.
That's definitely something that could happen with another couple of years of success. But it's also (allegedly) a decent recruiting tool for the Hundred, so I'd guess they'll shoehorn it in for absolutely as long as they can.
Unfortunately I have not been back to Bloomington in decades. But I watch every video I can find regarding every aspect of the football program.
I have never seen an impressive pregame or halftime Indiana marching band show. Short of a few iconic bands, the marching band programs are technology obsolete. Look at pro football. How have they kept marching band programs relevant? Answer: they got rid of them.
The sad reality in the past has been that when the halftime show begins it’s time for the fans to go home.
Back in the ‘60’s, Band Day was a much bigger deal than what be see today. More schools participated. Driving up to the stadium, one always knew it was Band Day by all the school busses. Attendance was notably higher with all the high schooler’s parents buying walk-up tickets to find their kid in a kaleidoscope of colors as the kids assembled in the two end zones and ran towards the centerline to out-loud each other.
Memorial Stadium’s aluminum benches are so uncomfortable that I start squirming on my haunches midway through the 2nd Q. By halftime, I’m ready to depressurize my gluts with a hike for a piss, fresh faces, and food/drink. It will take more than squeaky clarinets to keep me sitting through a halftime show, especially in the sweltering heat of early season. I don’t understand why IU doesn’t allow fans to bring in their own seat cushions for padded…excuse me, added comfort. It’s inconsiderate of them and reeks of greed.

Our band sucks. But I've been to every Big Ten Championship football game that's ever happened and I can tell you that I get pretty jazzed about seeing Wisconsin, Ohio State and even Penn State and Michigan State, to a lesser degree.
And I don't have many quibbles with the IU pregame show. It's not elite, but it's good. Halftime is a joke, usually, outside of Homecoming.
Now that we have a great thing going in football, we need to get get a band director from an HBCU school to come to Bloomington and bring many transfers. Let's liven the place up!
Changes should indeed be made for the new IUFB. It's the 21st century headed hellbent for 22k.
I love HBCU bands, but that's just not a realistic outcome even before you bring in the stature of the Jacobs School to the equation.
Get their band from the portal. Ohio used to have a similarly fun band.
I've been beating that drum for years. Those HBCU guys know how to put on a show.
We actually do have a new band director this year, who was at Texas previously.
Band day is the season opener. Per the hundred website.
Not really disagreeing with you, but I find it absolutely hilarious that someone would STILL need convincing that IU is actually good in football and worth supporting. What a miserable existence lol.
The entire pre-game routine is sad and tired. I don’t get how we keep doing the same thing year after year. But we’ve beat that dead horse to death.
I will be in the Sample Terrace (SEZ) Suites again. Price went from $25k to $35k for one less game. Kinda hurts. One guy with 4 tickets just bailed on me. Anyone here want to join?
Think he is in another position in the department now. The new director is Tiffany Galus, she was the assistant director of the Texas band and pep band.
She's an IU grad and was part of the Marching 100, so I wouldn't expect her to change things up much.
Yeah, she's been with the program and lead the pep band quite a lot in Eric's absence, so I wouldn't' expect much of an overhaul.
Where are you seeing his? Smedley is still listed on the Jacobs staff directory as the director of athletic bands, but those are often not updated promptly. But even on the Marching Hundred site for Jacobs I don't see any mention of leadership
Indiana University Department of Bands
News from the IU Department of Bands! We are thrilled to announce that starting Fall 2025, Dr. Tiffany Galus will become the new Director of the Marching Hundred, and Dr. Eric Smedley will step into...
