Every other one yeah but with 2 weeks to go and LSU surging - prices aren't going down


They surged last night. I check the value on my seats, and it came close to doubling.

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

Not on stubhub. I checked all night last night and this morning. That's not happening by the time you factor in the fees.

That sounds like way too much. I paid $600/ticket to sit at midfield in the 2019 national championship game. Guess that was before the potato’s inflation and great reset though

We sat in 206 (NEZ) for a game earlier this season and didn’t like it. You had no idea what was happening on the other side of the field. It was pretty neat to be close to the field though.

Rookie mistake. Ticket prices will fall especially a day or 2 before the game.


Had this plan in 2016. Got very lucky. Found tickets at last min. Wouldn’t recommend. Might be different now.

First, I'm surprised midfield for the title game was only $600/ticket.
Secondly, I paid $600 total for two tickets. Not $600 for each one.

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.


I’m not saying it works EVERY time but most of the time it does. Hell it worked on the national championship game against Clemson for me and my brother. Been doing this a long time and follow ticket trends pretty closely. . Between stubhub, vivid seats , Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, Gametime, or our very own ticket exchange someone will be dumping cheap you just have to be on your game. But go off man you’re the expert.

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


It took me half of a game to figure this out. Walk over closer to like 238ish & go to those concession stands. Almost no wait outside of timeout/halftimes.

Other than that, walk all the way back down to the bottom.

Says a guy who is named “All that fades.” I paid 5 bills for game of the century and the follow up in tiger stadium the year. That was a decade ago. Get a grip.

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
That, combined with all the obnoxious, repugnant, unwanted and unneeded "Artificial" noise.

Traffic isn't an issue. I used to park in the right spot (Behind the Law School/University High) and was out fairly quickly. Parking across from Alex Box (Old Back 9) is not an issue either. I used to just put up a "Mini" tailgate at the car and listen to the post-game while traffic clears out. (2-3 hours)

There's always been traffic, going back many decades, but none of the parking is an issue currently since we finally got tired of the entire game day scenario and got the heck completely out of Baton Rouge and Louisiana all together.

The "Quality of Life" is light years better over here in East Central Florida.. (Even if it means that we have to miss a big game like this one)

Yall enjoy the actual game and the LSUAD sponsored in-game concert.........
