CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) — Season tickets for the 2025 Illinois football season will go on sale to the general public this week.

Tickets will go on sale Thursday at 9 a.m., with fewer than 800 sideline tickets remaining.

Tickets on the east and west sidelines start at $199, and the remaining inventory is expected to sell quickly. Illinois has sold over 32,000 season tickets, the highest total since 2009, following a successful ten-win season.

All suites are sold out, but limited options remain in premium seating areas like the 77 Club and Colonnades Club, with discounts for new members.

Student season tickets are also anticipated to sell out for the second consecutive year, with sales at double the rate of the previous year.

Illinois has seen significant attendance growth since coach Bret Bielema's arrival, ranking #1 in the nation for total growth.

The home schedule includes seven games, featuring five Big Ten matchups and two non-conference games.
