It looks like TickPick still has several available in that section (20 yard line uppers) for the same price.


Listed mine in 402 on TickPick for $410, which was the lowest price at the time, and sold them around lunch.

The lowest price now is like $380. I had no desire to spend 2 days worrying about fighting a price crash.

You guys are tempting me to go... I'm only about 4 hours away, could drive up and back same day or stop in and spend the night in Louisville on the way home...

Wonder what tickets will be outside the stadium?

Do it! There won't ever be a championship game closer to you. Same for me

If you are that close and can take 1.5 days you should definitely do it.

Too cold to find out.

Buy one before you go and consider it a warmth tax.

Prices are dropping probably because of Omicron and Michigan losing. Georgia people should be Gung Ho, and buy up all the surplus tickets.

Honest question, how do you even buy tickets outside the stadium these days?

There aren't physical tickets anymore.

Stand outside stadium and then buy on stubhub.

I also walked in with a family for bama vs Oakland and gave some $10 to swipe me in.

Non existent now with digital only tickets.

If anyone has a South Lot or Valspar parking pass or something similar they need to dump, let me know. Waited until the last minute because I wasn’t sure I would go, but it’s been a pain to find parking… most of the lots/garages downtown don’t allow vans or “large trucks/SUVs”.

My worry. Going to be significantly outnumbered again. But maybe it will just feed into this Bama team's "underdog" approach.

I don’t think it will be nearly as bad as the 2018 game or the SECCG. There are still 10,000+ seats available between the various broker sites, and UGA fans are having difficulty selling their tickets at face value. I expect to be outnumbered, but it won’t be a home game for them. The same factors affecting Gumps are a problem for UGA fans too.

Jeez. Maybe it will be a bunch of local Colts fans with no playoff home game just looking for something to do on a cold Monday night.

Come on Ryan Kelly, get the locals on the Tide side!

One factor that’s absolutely way different this time around is where the corporate allotment of tickets is distributed. Games in ATL go to UGA fans by default, largely. Ain’t many UGA fans in Indianapolis.

I live really close, how late do you think I could wait to swoop a cheap ticket? day of? day before? Tickets have been steadily dropping by the day trying to figure out when it will bottom out

I think you’ll have plenty of options the day of and even the hours leading up to the game. Tons of unused tickets floating around that people are going to end up eating the cost of if they don’t unload them.

Yep, when we play them in Atlanta, pretty much every corporate ticket or MBS season ticket holder goes to UGA fans. This year, many will go to randoms. Its a relatively small 65k seat stadium in a weird location. If we simply bring 20k, any sort of neutral presence will mean that no real advantage exists.

day of?


If it plays out like a lot of other games with this type of demand. Morning of the game you will start seeing some desperate selling prices.

FYI for anyone else going to the game. Looks like hotel cancellations starting to occur. I was able to move my hotel to the Westin right next to the convention center. Only 30K Marriott points. I was like 9 miles east. Parking is only 49 bucks there anyways

I am not sure if they give out hard tickets these days or not - but Stubhub will put out a mobile ticket station where you can purchase day of and pick up hard tickets outside stadium for big events.

Plenty of instant transfers should be available as well.
