Tickets

best bet is on gameday

Here are some statistics for you:

I have season tickets (6 together side by side) in the South endzone and I've been able to sell a few games here on the Rant's ticket exchange. App. State for $100/each, Troy for $60 each and I have an offer for Miss. State for $100/each (asking $125/each). I've been able to get more than face value since I have 6 together and most people know that its hard to get that many together on game day.

I just bought 4 App State tickets for $80 a piece. The seats suck but, hey, I will be in Tiger Stadium for the opening game.

Are you trying to get 5-6 together? If not, you'll be able to find tickets for those games without problem at face or below.
Ole Miss or MSU could very likely be picked up for 11:30 kickoff. If that happens, some people will certainly sell for less.
Buying now is going to cost more. It's like the National Title game. Early on, people were paying outrageous prices. As the game neared, prices came down.

I'm still shocked that people pay over face value (sometimes waaaay over), especially for games that aren't "big."

I've been to almost every game since the late 90s. I've paid more than face twice that I can remember, and both (Florida and Va. Tech) were last year, and both were under $75 a seat.

Only game I've ever had real trouble getting tickets to was Arkansas in '05. (Last year's Arkansas game wasn't easy, either...)

But App. State? At 4 PM? In August? Ole Miss? Troy?

If you're paying more than $20 per seat for those games, you're doing it wrong.

There is something to be said for having ticket in hand, especially for a big game, but it doesn't make much fiscal sense to me, especially for the crap games.

Here's a hint:

The old folks don't like day games, hot games or 8 PM games, and they don't sell their tickets to the "scalpers."

Just go to the Ole Mrs. web site. They always have tickets and you will pay face value not some inflated scalper price... You can put your order in now for them..By the way they are $50ea...
