I've always heard you can do the just after kickoff waiting deal, but does it actually pan out like that? Do you really get tickets for close to $20?
Last year I got them at the Chattanooga game for twenty bucks a pair half an hour before kickoff. Just bypass scalper row and head to the front of the stadium. Tide Pride members who have extras are more than happy to get whatever they can for them. I wouldn't do it for SEC teams, but for the games against the sisters of the poor it has paid off.

This has been a really good discussion. I think we have two issues...scheduling and ticket prices.
I just noticed that the face value on my AU and aTm tickets is $75. But the additional tickets that Bama made available for aTm was $100...which is also the face value on aTm's allotment for the game.
The face value for my OOCs is $45. Don't know why they upped the price for the ones on sale now to $55, but IMO it is not good PR when there is a perception that you have to bribe fans with cash back in order to sell tickets. And I think it could cause some bad will with those fans that already bought their tickets at $55.
I also agree that the ATL game has run it's course. But I still like to go and will probably keep going. My son really likes to go to Atlanta, but my girlfriend doesn't; she would rather drive the extra hour to get to Tuscaloosa instead. And while ATL may have run it's course, there will probably be considerable interest in the USC game in Dallas. I would also love to travel to some big name Big 5 campuses. Maybe getting some teams other than ACC teams would reinvigorate the chicken sandwich game.

My son plays DII ball (kicker) for Miles College in Birmingham and has a 6pm game on 9/6. My family and I are planning to head to Tuscaloosa for the FAU game (11am CST kickoff) and get tickets at a good price. There will be 5 of us so I doubt we'll all sit together. Worst case scenario if we can't get tickets, we find somebody tailgating with a large screen TV, satellite dish and generator around Bryant Denny and watch the game with them before heading out to Birmingham to watch my son.
It's going to be a LONG, hot day, but worth it.
