I'll be in Bham next weekend, thought about going to the game. But no way in hell I'm paying $150 to see that game. $13 seems like a more reasonable price point for the quality if football given. Am i wrong here?

I bet if he haggled, he could get somebody to pay him $20 to take their ticket.

They are $30 for general admissions in the endzones. Which is still overpriced. What is the point of pricing locals out of the game? Seems like they would want people to come.

Why anyone would pay face value for some of these bowls is beyond me. The Rose, however, was actually worth the price (although that was kinda pricey).

I love UF, but that's too much for that kind of game

The reason bowl game tickets are so expensive is because the bowls require schools to purchase X number of tickets. It's a scam. You'll get them for pennies on the dollar at the stadium

Yep. As much as I'd love to make fun of schools for not using up their allotment, I don't blame people not wanting to pay face value for these games.

Do you get a local house if you buy 10 or more tickets?

I've gone down shortly before game time and paid $10-$15.

No, that's only if you sign to play football at Alabama.

I plan on going and taking my nephews.

I'm certain i can make three phone calls and get a set of four tickets for nothing.

If you know anyone that works in a birmingham company you can get free tickets if you ask.
