How hard is it to find good tickets around the stadium? Or is buying off the second market the better option? Thanks in advance

Not very hard at all.

Only if it's Alabama...and it means going to Atlanta

StubHub will have some but you're better off just asking around town,seeing stuff on FB..ticket exchange here,or just outside the stadium.

You won't have any problems. Just if you want to spend for the lower bowl. But it's still cheaper than TAF surcharge.

Took my son to Gainesville last year, no tickets in hand. Keep in mind, ranked matchup, Tebow's jersey retirement - big game.

Waited until an hour before kickoff, put fingers in the air, got 2 in LSU section, lower bowl, right next to Tiger band. Paid $20 below face value.

I would never buy tix in advance. Unless you're talking #1 vs #2 LSU Bama like in 2011.

ALWAYS tix available.

Secondary market will jack up prices but having tickets gives some people peace of mind. Ticket scalpers are usually a little cheaper but beware of being sold fake tickets. A buddy of mine spent $300 on tickets in Tuscaloosa outside the stadium in 2017 and they were fake.

Tickets are available even for Bama and while more expensive, it’s not as bad as stubhub prices.

I’m as big of an LSU fan as anyone.

There’s not much reason to buy football season tickets

So you had season tickets and don’t know if there is people around stadium selling tickets? Hello!

24 years for me, my son and I decided to let them go and attend the two to three big games a year. Tickets are always available just prior to kick off, and stub hub for away games.
TAF went up this year and all the tickets I will buy come up to less than just the TAF fee.

You can always find tickets on stub hub. But, you may pay more than you want to.

I’ve only overpaid when others (usually a buddies wife) panic. If you can avoid that, you’ll be just fine.

Over 50 years for me! Not a youngster anymore, and the time is right. Will still try to make a couple of games, with tickets from reliable sources. Geaux Tigers! Forever LSU!

I've held on to my "final 4" for 2 years now. I cannot recall the last time I sat in my seats, but knowing I have them is always a nice backup.

There was only one home game between 2012 and now that I haven't been able to get into with secondary tickets for less than $120 and that was Alabama last year. There were no real tickets available and I found that out in a very hard, expensive way.

...still got into the game though

This is the right move or looking on the ticket exchange before the season.

Why do you think anyone cares how many years you allegedly had season tickets? And what does that have to do with finding tickets?
