And this is an illustration as to why the environment isn’t what it was. They’ve priced out all the blue collar working class fans who would show up and raise hell and stay for all four quarters

You seriously overpaid. Don’t you live in BR? Why in the hell did you wait this long to buy tickets to this game?

Those Tennessee tickets were about 250-400 for midfield seats in the lower rows all the weeks leading to the game. Got em the night before the game for 70 each.


15min before kickoff..
I had 17 lower bowl tickets...11 sidelines...6 endzones..paid 10$ total for all the tickets...and that was for the 6 in the endzone because they were all together..guy said give him 10 for a beer

Part of it.. the other part is the luxury of sitting in your own home with all the comforts. I enjoy going to the games in person, but I could see how some would want to stay home. No traffic, no drive time, no sun beating on you.. just turn the game on 5 mins before and kick back. We live on then north shore, we left at 8:30 and got home at 9. You gotta dedicate the entire day if you don’t live close

I paid $700 for 2 tickets for LSU/Bama in 2019. That was totally worth it and we also got to see Trump. I paid $300 for 2 tickets in the upper deck for the game in 2 weeks. Hoping for that same luck.

I sold 2 four weeks ago for 1000. Only needed four so profit.

Welcome baw. Just a heads up, there isn’t a concession stand that sells food anywhere near this section


Yea I found that out yesterday with my son. We were in 242 and he had to pee and of course HAD to get popcorn . I'd never been on that side of the stadium before so I am very unfamiliar with it. Took him to the bathroom then got in line for what I assumed was a concession stand. Stood there for 10 minutes until I realized it was only for beer. Moved on to find a concession stand and had to walk I think for 2 or 3 sections before we found one selling food. Missed half of the 3rd quarter.

2018 Bama in the lower South EZ was $300 on gameday in the secondary market


Yeah 2018 Alabama is the most I've ever spent for sports tickets. And the worst money ever spent on sports tickets.

See I'd love to sit up there because I can see everything and still be part of the environment but Mrs. Gumbo is terrified of the upper decks .

Sounds like you got a good deal, by the time the game rolls around they may be worth twice or three times that amount.

It’s pretty terrible. The upper north end zone is the red headed step child of tiger stadium. We never get any of the new stuff and now they are even taking the old shitty food away from us too. Those first few concession stands used to have food, now they are all just beverage stations. You should never have to walk 6 sections over to get literally any type of food

Y'all are seriously delusional as far as how much the average Joe pays for tickets. Most people stick to the safety of stubhub and you'll be lucky to get lowers for any lower than $600 after fees right now

I always buy tickets directly from LSU as soon as they go on sale. I paid $60 a piece for N. Endzone for Ms State, $90 for Ole Miss N. End Zone and $155 for Alabama (only West Upper was available). By comparison, a month ago, the cheapest on StubHub for Alabama was $300 upper deck. Create an account with LSUTix.net and sign up for ticket notifications.

Yes they will. Ppl always panic dump tickets on game day. ESP a few hours before kickoff.



Literally never happened for a ranked home Bama game but cool bud. Good luck getting tickets to the Bama game the day of for cheap. I'm sure you'll be the only guy at the stadium with that genius plan.

You can get 4 for that price in 420-422 and enjoy the game just the same.

I think you overpaid.
