EVANSTON, Ill. -- Single-game tickets for Northwestern's six 2005 home football games go on sale at 9 a.m. Monday, July 25.

Tickets for home games can be ordered by calling 847-491-CATS, visiting the Wildcats' online ticket office, or calling Ticketmaster. They may also be purchased in person at the Ryan Field Ticket Office at 1501 Central Street in Evanston.

Single-game ticket prices are $30 for the two nonconference games (Ohio and Northern Illinois) and $50 for the four Big Ten games (Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa). Northwestern will again sell reduced-price end zone seats, offering $20 seats for Ohio and Northern Illinois, and $25 seats for Penn State. No reduced-price seats will be sold for the last three games.

For fans planning to attend multiple home games, the best deal is to purchase season tickets ($110 to $170) or one of four three-pack plans. The three-packs sell for just $100, and fans are invited to several exclusive VIP events throughout the year. Northwestern is also selling a family plan package ($360), which includes two adult and three youth season tickets -- a savings of almost $1,000 off the single-game ticket price.

Northwestern is coming off a 6-6 season, that included a 5-1 record at Ryan Field. The Wildcats went an unprecedented 3-0 in exciting overtime games at home.
