Buying tickets outside bryant denny?

Uh, you'll pay a lot

This should help you out by eliminating some of the scalping around the stadium.


TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The runners who buy tickets to Alabama football games in Tuscaloosa and give them to scalpers for resale can no longer do so without a special permit, a $100 business license and a picture ID, the city's leaders agreed Tuesday night.

At their weekly meeting Tuesday, the city council, which the Tuscaloosa News said has been licensing ticket scalpers for decades, amended city code to require runners for the scalpers to also purchase permits before working in the city.

Although ticket scalpers and their runners can buy and resell tickets to any entertainment event, they are most commonly seen in Tuscaloosa on Saturdays in the fall, when runners on foot and bicycles cruise up and down University Boulevard and other arteries leading to Bryant Denny Stadium buying tickets to Alabama football games from passersby. The runners then take the bought tickets to a scalper, who resells them for profit.

In the past, permits were only required for the scalpers. After Tuesday's vote, though, the runners and anyone else engaged in buying, selling or reselling tickets to events in Tuscaloosa must purchase a business license from the city to do so. That license, along with special permit and picture identification must be fully visible during their activities.

They practically give tickets away in Alberta City. Just walk down the sidewalk holding out cash and you can buy a ticket on the front row of the 50 yard line for $10.00.

You'll get a better deal online, the scalpers around the stadium gouge to the maximum.

A roommate and I are thinking about making the drive to Tuscaloosa and purchasing two tickets outside the stadium

You will see brokers along the strip before you get on campus, on the sidewalks, maybe at intersections. I would avoid them. On the sidewalk along the quad, on campus, you are more likely to find ordinary fans with extra tickets. I think you'll have better luck buying at reasonable prices there.

of course man, you'll see tons of folks selling.
