I have been told that tics can be found at face value around the gate right before game time. Never have tried this before so don't know what to expect. anyone know?

about 90% of posters will tell you you will have to pay $200 for a ticket. they've never bought tickets outside of TS before. Or, they are stupid for paying that price.

If both teams are unbeaten headed into the weekend, your chances of getting anything under $150 will be slim.

I was able to get a UGA '03 ticket at face value outside of TS and that was a HUGE GAME at the time. IMO only thing comparable UF '07.

That was ONE ticket though. It is a lot easier to get a single outside of TS then a pair.

Sometimes you luck up. I was able to get Georgia 03 at face value right outside of the stadium from some Georgia fans. In, 2007, I had to spend about 150 a ticket for Florida.

But it all depends on what the teams do before then. LSU/Georgia prices were going through the roof preseason last year, but as the game neared, it was no problem at all to find a ticket at a good price.

There's allways someone that gets too drunk and decides to sell their ticket right before game time instead of going in. If you're in the right spot at the right time, it's possible. More than likely a professional will buy it from them at face value and sell it to you for $200 bucks.

I have a cousin that has bought tickets outside the stadium for 10 years now. he paid $100 maybe once or twice. all of the other times it was face value or lower. and its always been sideline seats in the bowl.

I recall the LSU-Bama game at Tiger Stadium in '87 (?) was one game that my friends were not actually able to buy tickets for outside the stadium. They went to a sportsbar.

Of course, LSU has added 15K seats since then. So, I don't if that scenario will ever happen again.

Believe it or not, there's still a few fans who don't care about making money off others and will sell at face value. I bought 2 tickets outside the stadium before the Georgia game last year. If you fail to get tickets, enjoy the tail gating and watch the game on TV with someone who will let you join them. Be persistent and you'll probably find tickets at face value

I can say without a doubt you will be able to find thousands of tickets outside the stadium before the game. Purchasing same will be an entirely different matter.

I have done this many times for many years. Tickets are always available. The last great Florida win cost 150 at the gate.

I have stood outside of Tiger Stadium looking for tickets with my dad about 30 times in my life, and we have been able to find tickets for face value 29 times. That one time we couldn't was the 2007 Florida game. It was honestly a joke. People were looking for 350/ticket. Probably the toughest ticket in the history of LSU football. 2009 will be no different. Good luck.
