Bama/USC in Arlington

I've already booked my flight. Won't search for tickets until game day in Arlington. I'm a ticket Jedi though

Yeah I guy I know went to the national championship last year and paid like $700 for one seat. He said minutes before kickoff, the seat next to him was selling for like $130

If I have said it once I have said it 1,000 times. If you show up on game day with no ticket and wait till kick off, you can go to ANY game for $100 or less.

This. Most I've ever paid to attend a game was $100, and that was for the Bama/OSU playoff.

Actually, maybe I paid 125 for the OU Sugar Bowl suckfest, but those were 45 yard line tickets from a friend, so I didn't mind too much.

Thanks folks! I am going to bust up into the Big D and find a ticket Saturday morning! (unless something changes drastically on Stubhub)

I went to the MSU game, and some of you have probably been to games in that building, but here's my take.

I sat in the endzone we first scored in, about 10 rows up in the 200 section, looking down our sideline. I enjoyed the seats and would go again, sitting in levels 100 or 200.

I would not sit in the 300 level, and absolutely would not sit in the 400 level. Before the game I went up there and walked out into the arena from the concourse. That mammoth TV screen is staring you right in the face. I don't see how you can keep from watching the screen the whole game. I'm not going out to Dallas to watch the game on TV...even if it's a 50 yard long TV.

Other observations...Traffic in and out was easy...stayed at the Omni and meandered back through residential areas easily wity the help of GPS, no traffic. Never waited at concessions...just walked right up. They have so many. They also have phone charging stations. It was probably the nicest football venue I have been to. Just an amazing building.

Just stay out of the 300 and 400 levels. But maybe that's just me.

Shhh!!! Don't tell everyone. Then those us jedis will be left without tickets.


I've done it a million times without a problem. The only time I was left screwed was the blackout game in Athens. People still wanted $200+ for nosebleeds at kickoff. And looking around, it was a sea of fingers in the air.

After a few loud cheers, I ran to the nearest bar. I was glad to find out it was Bama fans making all that noise. But that was a game was perfect storm for overpriced tickets.

If you're particularly patient, and by yourself, I've seen drunk people offering free tickets to big games, because they forgot to try to sell them.

I usually just play stubhub the morning of the game or the day before. I sat 1st row, 25/30 yeard line club level for the Michigan State Game and paid $350 for the pair. Could have easily gone cheaper but it was my first time in Jerry World and I wanted to take it in.

- Stubhub will set up a mobile ticket pick up station so you can purchase them and grab the hard tickets a block away from the stadium as you walk in.
