Normally I find some on craigslist a day or two before. Where is the best spot on campus to get some tickets on Saturday? The quad or closer to the stadium?

I have been to many games and never have I seen a day that were not a lot of tickets for sale. I would look for old white guys that look like Tide Pride members selling extras. These are a sure bet and you can usually get them close to face value. I have never been ripped off buying them like that. However, if you buy from some of the sketchier looking dudes a bit farther away, you'll likely over pay or get ripped by buying fakes.

Piggybacking off do that question: how much do you think the tickets are going to go for this week before the game? I typically go to games with my ticket in hand. It makes me nervous not to, but the prices on stubhub are higher than I want to pay.

Depends on where you are and what time you buy the tickets. They will be cheaper the closer you get to kickoff. If you're willing to wait til after kickoff, they will be really cheap.

If you guys that need tickets would just wait until 30 min to an hour before kick, you can get tickets for half the price you would that morning. People get impatient and scalpers love that shite.

This^^^

There's also and old guy that sits at the corner of 12 Ave. and Paul Bryant drive I always ask "even though I always have my tickets" how much is he selling tickets for and he's usually pretty cheap.

There will be no problem finding tickets though. Look for the UA licensed ticket sellers with lanyards they will be at every corner up to 4-5 blocks away from the stadium in every direction.


ETA: This "old guy" will have on a pair of overalls. I'm 100% sure of this as it looks like he has been wearing the same ones for about 20 years.

Around the stadium 30-45 minutes before kickoff is where I've had the best luck.
