CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) – Following a thrilling 2024 football season, the Illinois Fighting Illini are gearing up for another year. Fans can now secure their seats by placing a deposit for 2025 season tickets.

The 2024 season saw the #21 Fighting Illini achieve a 9-3 record, defeat three Top 25 teams, and sell out Memorial Stadium twice—marking the first time since 2009. The excitement surrounding Illinois Football is reflected in the surge of over 15,000 new season ticket sales in the past two years.

For the 2025 season, Illinois is maintaining its commitment to affordability by offering the lowest-priced season ticket in the Big Ten at just $98 for seats in the horseshoe. Fans can reserve their spot by placing a $50 non-refundable deposit per seat. Deposits made by March 1 will grant fans the opportunity to select their seat locations during the Memorial Stadium Reseating Process in the spring.

Priority seating will be determined based on I FUND membership level and ranking. Fans looking to secure the best available seats are encouraged to join the I FUND to improve their position in line.
