Tickets to Big 10 championship game: $150 and up

EAST LANSING - If you'd like to be at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the Big 10 championship game between Michigan State University and Iowa next Saturday, it won't come cheap.

Ticket prices on StubHub Sunday afternoon ranged from $150 to thousands of dollars, depending on the seats. And unless you're a student or a university donor, you'll have to go online to get a ticket.

A fourth of MSU's allotment of 10,000 tickets is set aside for students and the marching band, and the remainder are being offered to donors, said Paul Schager, MSU's executive associate athletic director for external relations. The donor tickets are $175 or $80. Students pay a discounted price of $40.

Hotels in the Indianapolis area are booked, and resourceful Spartan fans are searching for hotels somewhere along their route to Indianapolis, Schager said.

With Indy just a few hours away, there are no MSU-sponsored bus trips, said Scott Westerman, executive director the MSU Alumni Association.

MSU beat Penn State, 55-16, on Saturday to win the Big Ten East championship. They will take on unbeaten Iowa at 8:17 p.m. on Saturday.
