Tickets for the inaugural Big Ten championship game will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Saturday, according to a release. The game will be held on Dec. 3 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

The tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster or by visiting the Lucas Oil Stadium box office; seats will cost between $50 and $125, depending on location.

Those who purchase tickets for the 2011 championship will be given the opportunity to purchase comparable tickets for the 2012 game at a later date.

The championship game will pit the winner of the Legends division against the champion of the Leaders division. The winner will represent the conference in either the Rose Bowl Game or the BCS national championship.

A media poll organized by the Cleveland Plain Dealer predicted the game will feature Nebraska from the Legends and Wisconsin from the Leaders.

The championship will be held in Indianapolis through 2015 and will be broadcast by Fox through 2016.
