Hey y’all, haven’t been to Neyland yet, but it’s a short drive for me so we’re planning to catch the game.

Any tips of the ticket situation? What are the chances we find good tickets outside of the stadium? I know UT has a pretty loyal fan base so I don’t know if I should keep waiting for prices to drop online?

Scalpers are always everywhere around Neyland. I presume there will be plenty for sale if they continue to not fire Botch Jones.

I feel dumb for buying 4 from the BO before the season started.

I've got lots of family in Knoxville and have been to many games at Neyland (vs. LSU only once I think, but lots of other conference games).

You'll be fine in terms of finding tickets; considering their lackluster record, I'd be surprised if you even have to pay face value.

Tailgating there is much different from LSU; you're going to be in a business's parking lot or a sidewalk on The Strip. I prefer the green space of LSU, but their campus is much different from ours.

Important note: OPEN CONTAINER TICKETS ARE HANDED OUT LIKE CANDY. This is pretty easy to avoid by just pouring your drink into a cup, but seriously, I've seen it happen dozens of times to fans of all ages, home or visitors. I'd say they tolerate liveliness, even rowdiness, from visiting fans, but when it crosses over into plain assholery you're looking for trouble.

Have fun and Geaux Tigers!

My wife and I are going. Our tickets are in the nosebleeds in the LSU section. We are in our 60s and I am worried about my wife being able to make it to her seat. She recently had knee replacement surgery. She can get around ok but going up and down steps are very difficult for her.

I hadn't thought about it but maybe I will eat the tickets I have and buy some outside the stadium that may be in a location that is more accessible for us. Hoping there will be plenty to choose from considering Tennessee' s situation.

The reason I ask is because I was thinking the same: that tickets would be opening up. But I have some Vols friends and they go to every game regardless of how their team does. Hopefully that isn’t true for most of them.
