Are children allowed?
For Ohio State men's basketball and men's ice hockey games, Per Big Ten Policy, everyone needs a ticket for entry. Fans wishing to bring small children (under the age of 2) to a game may purchase a lap ticket for their infant. This ticket will allow the infant to enter the venue, but that child must sit on their parent/guardian's lap. If a seat must be occupied by the child and/or carrier, then a regular ticket must be purchased. Lap tickets are only available on the day of the game/event and can only be purchased at the Schottenstein Center ticket office. For Ohio State womens basketball games, concerts, and other events, children under age 2 are free on parents' lap. For select family shows, children under age 1 are free on parents' lap.
