CHAMPAIGN — Illinois set a new record for quickest sellout of Orange Krush student season tickets Wednesday with the 2025-26 allotment sold in just 18 minutes.
It’s been a constantly evolving record in each of the past five seasons, with the 3,000 student tickets sold out every year since 2021-22.
That first year it took less than three hours fresh off the COVID-19 season when no one got into State Farm Center. Then just 36 minutes in 2022-23. They lasted a bit longer in 2023-24 — just shy of 24 hours — before last year’s sold out in 26 minutes.
