Where do they usually stand around, do you have any problem with fakes, do they go cheap, do you have pics of what real tickets look like, do people give them away cheap at the last minute.
Thanks in advance.

There will be plenty of tickets available along the strip (main campus street) and around the stadium.

Never had trouble with the fakes, and never heard of anyone complained about the fakes, so don't know what to tell you on that.

Our group normally leave the tailgate 30 minutes before the kickoff, and pick up our tickets on our way. IMO, the most you should pay around that time will be $20 a piece. If you stay patient and wait until 10 minutes before the kickoff (when you hear a loud cheer inside the stadium, which means Vols get on the field), you should be able to get tickets for $10 or less.

In 06, when Tennessee played LSU at Neyland, with both teams ranked around top 10, we got our tickets for $10 a piece on our way to the stadium. When I was right outside the stadium, a drunk LSU lady tried to give me her 2 extra tickets for free (BTW, she was a true MILF. I was impressed with the amount of MILF fans LSU has.)

Again, there should be plenty of tickets out there, and it all depends on how long you want to wait or how many connected seats you want to get together.

Wow, sweet. At the beginning I was going to pay over a 100 a ticket, then was going to spend 50 a ticket this week, but then I was like.....I will go the scalper route (from people saying its cheaper if you wait until the game is going to start.) Glad Im going to wait. Driving from Ohio, so i was kinda worried about if i would find any or if they were expensive.

Usually plenty of tickets available anywhere around the stadium! In 2006, when LSU came into town I bought a pair as soon as i got into knoxville and paid $70 each. 10 minutes before gametime found another pair closer than mine for $15 each. Basically you will have plenty to choose from, just depends on if you want to grab some early and tailgate or wait til last minute.

I just had another LSU fan give me a pair of tickets for free, and it is still 4 days before kickoff. LOL.

No chance this game will sellout, you may be able to get free tickets depending on how close you're willing to cut it.

Nice name.

I always get mine around the stadium. Never buy from the actual scalpers, try to find a real fan with some extras. I usually spend about 20-30 minutes haggling prices. I actually enjoy it though.
