SEC Championship game Tickets

I'll buy them if you don't want them

you can sell them to an Arkansas or Tennessee fan...oh wait

Is LSU doesn't make it, you should be able to sell them for a nice profit.

Assuming UGA holds par in a mediocre SEC East and makes the SECCG, demand for tickets in Georgia/Atlanta will far outstrip supply.

Should I pull the trigger and hope to sell them in the event that LSU doesn't make it?

frick yea, from what I understand if you are selected you're eligible to get them every year going forward until you don't renew them. Ton of Bama fans have had them since '92 when the game was held in B'ham. Not telling how many trailer payments have been made over the years by those Bama fans selling theirs in the rare years they aren't involved in the game...

Congrats...

If LSU doesn't make it and the Bears do, you can bankrupt someone from the Delta who has been waiting two decades to see the Bears in Atlanta. Smart purchase.

How long were you on the list before your time came up?

I got an email this morning from the SEC, that I was selected from the waiting list for tickets to the SEC championship game this year. Should I pull the trigger and hope to sell them in the event that LSU doesn't make it?

Yes. In most years you will be able to resell them for at least face. But occasionally, you can sell them for up to 3x face value. The 2008, 2009, and 2010 tickets were selling for astronomical prices on the secondary markets.

There may be some years in which you fail to be able to sell them for face (2006 was the lowest I've ever seen them go). But pretty much, as long as Arkansas is not the Western representative, you should be able to get at least face value.

An Arkansas-Missouri Championship game would be the absolute worst possible matchup for ticket prices.

Alabama and Auburn winning the West creates huge demand every time. Georgia followed by Tennessee is the best outcome for high ticket prices out of the East. Florida brings a decent number of fans. However, when South Carolina played in the title in 2010, it helped that it was a 1st time thing for that program. It only led to higher demand.

I would assume if Texas A&M, Ole Miss, or Kentucky ever reached the title, it would create very high demand for that initial year, but it would probably taper off if those programs started making the game every year.

Pretty much, as long as one or both of the teams is Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, or Florida (ranked in order for fan demand), you're safe. Florida creates the weakest demand of the "Big 6" so when they played Arkansas it wasn't great for the secondary market.
