UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Nittany Lion Club donation and 2015 football season ticket payment deadline is rapidly approaching.
The deadline for 2015 football season ticket renewals is Sunday, Feb. 1. Nittany Lion Club members have been renewing their season tickets since mid-October and those who did so by Nov. 1 were able to earn additional Nittany Lion Club points and could participate in online payment plans.
Nittany Lion Club members can log into their Penn State Account Manager and view their 2015 season ticket and parking invoice. Fans can remit their ticket payment at GoPSUsports.com/accountmanager or by calling 800-NITTANY, weekdays from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Additional 800-NITTANY weekend hours have been added on Saturday, Jan. 31, and Sunday, Feb. 1, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. for assistance.
Nittany Lion Club members can also make their required donation from Penn State Account Manager. Penn State season ticket holders will have an opportunity online to add season tickets and parking passes for this season as well as opting into or out of 2015 seat selection using the Beaver Stadium Virtual Venue.
Coach James Franklin’s Nittany Lions will play seven games in Beaver Stadium in 2015, including visits by Big Ten foes Michigan (Nov. 21; Senior Day) and Rutgers (Sept. 19). The Scarlet Knights will be playing in Happy Valley for the first time since 1994. Big Ten opponents Illinois (Oct. 31) and Indiana also will play in Beaver Stadium this year, with the Oct. 10 contest against the Hoosiers set for Penn State’s 96th homecoming game.
The 2015 season also will see Army (Oct. 3) return to Beaver Stadium for the first time since 1979, which was the last meeting between the institutions. The Nittany Lions and Black Knights have met 25 times, with Penn State owning a 13-10-2 edge. San Diego State will travel to Penn State on Sept. 26 for the first gridiron meeting between the schools and Buffalo opens the home schedule Sept. 12.
There will not be any increase in the price of Penn State football season tickets or Nittany Lion Club donation levels for the 2015 season, which represent as much as a 12 percent off individual game prices. The cost for a season parking pass this season will increase, but represents a savings of 5 percent off the advance car parking fee and 15 percent off the RV advance parking price. A season car parking pass will be $100 and a season RV parking permit will be $350 for the 2015 campaign.
Penn State season ticket holders who have questions about renewing their season tickets, should call 800-NITTANY weekdays from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. or send an email to Golions@psu.edu. Fans can also call during extended renewal hours this weekend from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

The Recent Graduate program gives Penn Staters who earned an undergraduate degree from 2011-15 at any Penn State campus the opportunity to purchase up to two season tickets for $300 per ticket for the seven-game home schedule this fall. The cost includes a $50 donation to the Nittany Lion Club and is a savings of 35 percent from the regular $460 season ticket price ($360 + $100 NLC donation).
Penn State fans, including the energetic, sold-out student section of 21,500-strong, have played a vital role in helping the Nittany Lions post a 55-16 home record since 2005. During the 2014 season, Penn State home attendance increased an average of 5,036 per game to 101,623 per game.
The Nittany Lions have finished in the top five nationally in average home attendance every season since 1991.
