​Despite the shocking meltdown in the Big Ten opening loss to Wisconsin, tickets for Penn State football’s road opener vs. Northwestern is still in pretty high demand.No matter what ticket site you choose, every ticket is already north of $140, which is impressive for a Friday night game instead of a traditional Saturday college football game. It’s no surprise that with this being a road game, and the first game this season outside the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Penn State contingent will be the smallest its been so far in 2026.It doesn’t help that those who considered making the trip to Evanston, might be less enthusiastic to do so following the loss to the Badgers. That said, Northwestern played very well in a close loss to the defending champion Indiana Hoosiers. It also wouldn’t be a surprise if the Wildcat faithful are more enthusiastic to pack Ryan Field on a Friday night instead of a high school game.Being located just outside of Chicago doesn’t hurt either.Penn State football tickets vs. NorthwesternTickets for the Penn State-Northwestern game start at $153 on StubHub.Tickets start at $145 on Vivid Seats and $153 on SeatGeek.Buy Penn State football ticketsPenn State football 2026 scheduleSept. 5 vs. Marshall, W 45-0Sept12 at Temple, W, 27-9Sept. 19 vs. Buffalo, W, 55-13Sept. 26 vs. Wisconsin, L, 24-20Oct. 2 at NorthwesternOct. 10 vs. USCOct. 17 at MichiganOct. 31 vs. PurdueNov. 7 at WashingtonNov. 14 vs. MinnesotaNov. 21 vs. RutgersNov. 28 at MarylandThis article originally appeared on York Daily Record: Penn State football tickets vs Northwestern | Best remaining seats for Friday matchupOur editors independently choose our recommendations.
