IOWA CITY — Iowa Athletics has cut the price of football tickets by $10 to $25, depending on seat location, ahead of the 2023 season, the department said Friday in a news release.

General season ticket prices, which ranged from $345 to $450 in 2022, will range from $335 to $425 in 2023.

“While it seems like the cost of everything else is increasing, we wanted to not only hold our prices steady, but reduce them slightly to recognize the support of the greatest fans in America,” athletics director Gary Barta said in the news release.

The price cuts occur as Iowa comes off an 8-5 season and faces a 2023 schedule that does not have as many marquee games as in 2022.

The 2022 home schedule had Iowa State and Nevada in nonconference play and Wisconsin, Michigan, Northwestern and Nebraska in Big Ten play.

The 2023 home schedule features Michigan State, Purdue, Minnesota, Rutgers and Illinois in Big Ten play and Western Michigan and Utah State in nonconference play.

Iowa also is coming off a season with an offense that finished 130th out of 131 FBS teams in yards per game and drew significant ire from the fan base.
