Football ticket discount to benefit employees, CSSAC

August 25, 2010

Purdue employees can enjoy main-stands seating for three exciting afternoons of Boilermaker football at an exciting discount arranged by CSSAC and Intercollegiate Athletics.

CSSAC, the Clerical and Service Staff Advisory Committee, receives funds from the discounted tickets to support its grants program for employees and their dependents to take courses.

This year, the CSSAC discount applies to all three September home games -- and each is a special day with even more than major college football action:

* Sept. 11 vs. Western Illinois (noon) -- Military Appreciation Day
* Sept. 18 vs. Ball State (noon) -- Band Day/Family Day
* Sept. 25 vs. Toledo (TBA) -- Athletic Hall of Fame introductions of 2010 inductees

The single-game public ticket price for these games is $40, and the CSSAC employee discount makes the price $25. Of that $25, CSSAC gets $4.

Intercollegiate Athletics has posted a faculty/staff single-game ticket order form, along with other order forms, at www.purduesports.com/tickets/tickets-m-footbl.html. The form is a PDF file for downloading or printing. The forms also indicate other seating and ticket packages, including youth prices and south end zone prices for the September games.
