SIAP... I guess it’s good and bad. Good in that yet again we are one of college football’s premier non-conference games, bad in that ticket prices for this game are ridiculous.

Saturday Down South: LSU vs Texas Hottest ticket of 2019 CFB season

FanBuzz article

quote:
According to a new StubHub report, via Saturday Down South, the top-10 game in Week 2 is the most in-demand ticket of the entire college football season. That’s pulling ticket sales data through the middle of August 2019

quote:
The two programs have only met once since the 1964 season, with the most recent game coming in the 2003 Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns won that game and currently hold the all-time edge in the series against LSU at 9-7-1. Adding another layer of intrigue is the fact LSU nearly hired Tom Herman before the Longhorns announced the former Houston coach as the new leader of the Texas program. Following that incident, LSU turned around and handed the head coach job in Baton Rouge to then-interim coach Ed Orgeron. According to StubHub, the LSU at Texas game is outselling the Notre Dame at Georgia game, the second-most in-demand ticket in the country, by 68%.

quote:
Here is a breakdown of the top 10 most in-demand college football tickets for the 2019 season, according to StubHub:

#1 LSU at Texas on Sept. 7
#2 Notre Dame at Georgia on Sept. 21
#3 Florida vs. Miami on Aug. 24
#4 Auburn vs. Oregon on Aug. 31
#5 Michigan at Penn State on Oct. 19
#6 Notre Dame at Michigan on Oct. 26
#7 Oklahoma vs. Texas on Oct. 12
#8 Texas A&M at Clemson on Sept. 7
#9 Nebraska at Colorado on Sept. 7
#10 LSU at Alabama on Nov. 9

Hopefully it's all LSU fans buying. Would be awesome to minimize that home field advantage

Interesting that LSU and Texas are the only two teams with two games in the top 10. LSU vs Texas, Oklahoma vs Texas and LSU vs Alabama.

Just got 2 really good tickets yesterday. Hope that means things are starting to open up a little. Would be nice to not be the only purple (white? Gold?) in the sea of Orange (white?).

Tickets are less than $300 now on stubhub. But you’ll still get raped with their fees to make it more. Tickets should come down quite a bit up to game time. I’m not expecting to pay more than I did for last years Alabama game. That was the most expensive ticket I’ve ever bought though.

I think it's funny that LSU is in there twice, and Bama is only once, and it's when they're playing LSU.

Ha ! Could be a hellava tailgate - have a room pretty close to the stadium, but no ticket ...... yet. With or without, I’ll be there. After a 25 year exile in TX, dealing with the most obnoxious college fans in America, would not miss aTiger beat down !
