Wrong. I am a season ticket holder. Face value for the UGA and Alabama games is $120.I think that has been the case for the last several years. Other SEC games fall in the $75 price range, and Non-Power 5 out of conference games about $45.

When ticket prices for the game like last week and the Iron Bowl are going for $300+ it's not a bad deal. Nice try though.

The amount of butthurt over the dancing and playing Soulja Boy is hilarious considering their doing the same played a major role in its perpetuation

They say this every year they come to Auburn. Their ticket prices/Donations are handled different, but they can't grasp face value is face value.

And actually most Auburn people pay more, when including donation

Why even comment about something you have no clue about? That was absolutely the face value of the tickets.


I will stand corrected upon not realizing AU increased their ticket prices at least over the course of 1 season, which you don't see very often.

I do (or perhaps did) know what I'm talking about as I purchased AU season tickets in 2016 and have proof of what each home game cost, these were straight from the AU AA. Most expensive was clemson at 110, LSU at 100, and on down to 30 for Alabama A&M. Most schools have blanket season ticket prices to my knowledge, so I will stand corrected that I didn't realize AU does a sliding scale thing.

That video was bad though. It's a shame you're ilk still revere Nick Fairley and poke fun at UGA fans for such a classless game.

Absolute trash.

Prices go up every year

Jay Jacobs made sure to let us know that he was doing us a favor in 2012 when he decided not to up them

Gotcha, I was going on correct information at the time, didn't realize they continue to go up.

At UGA ticket holds just have 1 face value price for all home games. It stays relatively consistent for years at a time, it was $40 for YEARS, then went to $45 for like 2 years, and in the last year or so has gone to $50. I just assumed it was flat pricing everywhere.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Nick Fairley's a low-down thug and did Murray wrong that game

But sweet Jesus, let it go. Like Buck Belue said, if he was in red & black, dude would be a Bulldog folk hero

You wrote that as if season ticket holders had a lower face value than anyone else. Every ticket has the same face value on it. Prices for each game are different, but it’s different for everyone.

the person I got that ticket from certainly paid a hell of a lot more for it than $120 when you consider the "donations" they make just for the right to buy their season tickets.

LSU also does a sliding scale. I'm really surprised that more schools don't. Just seems to make sense to me

I'm not so sure on that though.

The face value on teh GT ticket purchased through the UGA AA is $95. According to tech's website you can get a full season home game package for $220. Teh face value on our ND tickets this year was $170, it just seems crazy that all ND season ticket holders would be subject to that as well.

Now again, I'm just used to the UGA way so I could be completely wrong, I just didn't know that schools charged varyign prices (albeit the same to home and away fans) for each game. I just assumed home teams had a single, standard face value on all home games and charged visitors differently.

There's a red and black bus that goes everywhere and we know those guys but we saw them on the drive in at some other lot, they weren't with us. Not sure if that's the bus you meant.

We parked at the lot at college and reese, dirctly across from where garden dr dead ends. There were 2 houses right next to each other both with lawns with parking.
