Haven't gotten any yet.

Still going, guess I'll wing it the day of the game or try to pay off someone at gate to get me and the wife in.

Oh,well. If not, I can watch it at a local bar, come back to the stadium after the game and pretend I'm leaving with all the ballers.

Based on number of Google searches for tickets(a flawless measure, I'm sure), Auburn is going to dominate. No idea how it's going to end up though, of course.

Money really wouldnt be a factor for me if Tennessee ever makes it back to the title game. Even if you even barely have the money, you still find a way to go. Your team playing for a national title does not happen everyday.

If you're smart, just get on Facebook marketplace and buy a student ticket off some kid who only bought it to make money.

I've never been charged half of what they ask on stubhub when doing this.

Any Auburn fans that have tickets just go ahead and sell them so it will not be a sell out and the team will feel at home

Bought 2 50-yard line tickets (Section 109, Row 19) back in September. $325 face value each.

Had to buy for the Fiesta Bowl too and was thankful to get rid of those at face value ($235 each).

$850 for a ticket to a college football game? I'd rather use that for student loans, car payments, and hookers.

If I can I will sell mine for $2300 in a heartbeat. I already saw my Rangers play in the World Series and it cost me a shitload of money.

There is a great little mantra I'm abiding by.

You can buy the tickets and everything else for a few thousand dollars, or you can buy a new home entertainment system and a new sofa for the same price and even if your team loses, you can keep the home entertainment system and new sofa.

I have been tempted to go out for tailgating and all and find a place to watch the game itself. I have just heard though that Glendale sucks and there aren't good places anywhere near the stadium.

All guesstimates I've seen is about 60/40 pro-Auburn.

Guesstimates are beyond useless. All I heard last year was how the Texas crowd was going to dominate the stadium...how'd that work out?


... and the same as WISCONSIN saying they were 80/20 with TCU ... it looked 50/50 to me

Paid $1,300 for a single last week. Could have gotten one for $750 right after SEC championship game but said "that's nuts...they'll come down."

Glendale and the entire west valley pretty much fricking sucks. But Westgate (right at the stadium) has some solid entertainment options that would be fun for you on gameday.

The party will be in Scottsdale all weekend long (east side of the valley). The teams stay out here... I know Oregon's pep rally is out here, I would imagine Auburn's will be too. It's a 30-40 minute drive to Glendale but like I said, Friday night through Sunday, Scottsdale will be a fun place. And you have Tempe Mill Avenue not too far for Old Town Scottsdale as another option.

ETA: ESPN has already begun setting up shop in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale. (They also ran all their Super Bowl shiz out of the same location the year it was out here instead of in lame arse Glendale.)

Look again... 75% of that stadium was Wisconsin.
