Deposit option available for football game in Ireland
The Cyclone football team will play Kansas State in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic next summer (Aug. 23, 2025) in Dublin, Ireland. The athletics department has a Deposit Only package for fans who know they want to attend the game but still need to choose a travel package. Place a $500/person deposit by Aug. 1 to secure a game ticket in the Iowa State section and be contacted by a sales representative from On Location in the coming weeks who'll answer questions about the various packages. Deposit Only packages must be converted to a full travel package by Aug. 15 (airfare is not in the packages and will be available as an add-on about 10 months prior to the game). In early 2025, remaining game tickets will go on sale for fans interested only in purchasing tickets to the game.
