According to online marketplace TickPick, the average cost of a ticket to the Lone Star Showdown ($1,079) is the most expensive average ticket price on record for a college football game and is more expensive than the average price of any regular-season NFL game in history.
Absolutely wacky
Be still my beating heart...my 4 SEC Tickets are gonna be worth at least $2k each! Nothing better on the planet for normal folks wallets than an excited Texan with some oil money!

I think that many people have decided that they'll never be able to make and save enough money to retire, so they're saying frick it.
Seriously I am sure Alabama fans make a lot of money and control a heaping pile of wealth but Nick Saban put a serious dent in many of their fans retirement savings. 3 of the last 4 UGA games of 2017 set us back close to $20K and we had SEC CG tickets before the season started. Some Alabama fans have been spending that kind of money on the post season for what, 10 years? More? No matter what your salary it ain't a cheap obsession. I would bet at least some of them are breathing a sigh of relief this season even as they come to grips with not making the CFP and doing a review of their savings.....

But nobody outside of Texas really cares
I will bet the TV audience will set a regular season record and by a bunch. Folks from Main to San Diego and Key West to Stuart Island will be tuned in. Its a big deal, pretending otherwise may salve the chapped asses of many fans but it is a big deal and has been gone far too long.....

I don’t see this as great.
But it’s what the market will bear.
Its not great for fans unless they have tickets at face value and then its fantastic. Even if they don't sell them the value is there.
Knowing Texans pretty well I would also bet Las Vegas phone lines are going to have to be replaced from the heat build up from all those calls.
Its good for the rest of the conference from a financial POV. The SEC TV contract was seriously under valued....that is going to be corrected at some point. Games like this are going to facilitate that. This is exactly why the conference courted or was interested in being courted, depending on your perspective, by/for these 2 and OU.......

Yea, I imagine those in Georgia will be interested since they play the winner.

All of the games for Texas has been expensive. My friend sold his tickets for the Georgia game $3k a ticket.
This was before the season started.
I bought 8 in early August for a little under 5 each with fees and whatnot. Not great seats. I sold 4 of them in for just over 8 (my end) in late September. Probably could have gotten more for them but we had a family emergency come up that prevented us using them and the other 4 were already spoken for. They were higher than giraffe pussy by the week of the game.

If they ain't they ain't got a clue what it means to be a fan.
This game would have been huge in the absence of the SEC CG and CFP implications....in and outside of Texas. For CFB fans this game has been sorely missing for far too long. Given the circumstances folks in Athens, Eugene, Columbus, South Bend, Knoxville, hell even Bloomington are going to be interested. The only way it doesn't set a TV record by a bunch is if the biggest single CFB market in the US, Birmingham, doesn't tune in at all. They will....
