I live in NC and only get a chance every couple of years to bring the family (wife and 3 kids) to town for a game. Looking at the Vandy game this year. No interest in paying all the extra fees on third party sites like StubHub if possible. Last time purchased from a Facebook Alabama ticket exchange page but the page looks pretty dead now. Any tips on best place on the interwebs to acquire 5-6 decent LL tickets for a reasonable price?

I usually just go to the game and buy them from fellow fans / scalpers. Some of the less desirable games can be had really cheap

That would normally work but I need 5 together. Seems like most sell in pairs of 2 or 4.

Check out eBay.

With the change to digital tickets, the scalping situation outside the gates is essentially non-existent

How are the digital tickets transferred? Been a couple of years for me.

Through the app and the other person has to have an account and not be a technological idiot, plus you need service which is spotty at best

People just don’t want to frick with it so nobody sells extras outside the stadium anymore. I don’t think I saw more than 5 people buying/selling outside the OM game last year

That sucks. I've always found cheap or free tickets at kickoff. But 5 together, that'll never happen. But I've gotten 3 together before (Spurrier's first home game at South Carolina and Prothro's coming out party). I got a few Sugar Bowl ticket vs Clemson a few years ago.

Sucks that it's no longer a thing.

Yep, sounds like Ticketmaster or something might be my best bet. Prices tend to drop closer to the game, so I'll keep an eye on them the week of.

With ticketmaster, the service fees will cost more than the ticket. That company needs to disappear. Might as call them Wilt chamberlain since they frick so many people.
