With the federal government shutdown now reaching the end of its fourth week, Ohio State has decided to give back to those who have been out of work.

Ohio State announced Friday that all federal government employees can receive two free tickets to all Ohio State athletics events, including Friday night's men's basketball game against Maryland, through the end of the government shutdown.

From Ohio State:

The offer may be redeemed only on the day of the event at the Athletics Ticket Office located in the northeast corner of the Schottenstein Center or at the ticket office at the event site, based on availability. Federal government employees are limited to two complimentary tickets per event and must show a valid federal government ID.  For more information, contact the Athletics Ticket Office at 1-800-GO-BUCKS.
