KU football’s season opener is sold out. How much are tickets for Jayhawks season?

The Kansas Jayhawks are set to welcome seven opponents to the renovated David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in 2025, from fresh faces to longtime Big 12 and in-state rivals. Excitement is building in Lawrence as quarterback Jalon Daniels and the rest of the team look to redeem themselves after an up-and-down 2024.

Fans are also anticipating getting their first looks inside the refreshed stadium. The renovation rebuilt the west, southwest and north sides of the stadium, along with brand-new seating, a larger scoreboard and homages to the state. The 41,525 fans that’ll pack the stadium each game can also dine on brand-new food options at concession stands inside.

Tickets for the first game of the season against Fresno State at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23 are sold out, leaving fans looking to attend with the only option of buying them from resale ticket websites. Resale sites also have tickets available for the remaining home games.

Here’s a look at ticket prices for KU’s football season.
