How much?! Comparing non-conference ticket prices across the SEC
When Georgia faculty and staff members in recent weeks received their ticket forms to purchase for the upcoming season, the Notre Dame game in South Bend, Ind., was listed at $170.
At first glance, there was some sticker shock, but a glimpse at the open market revealed it was a bargain. StubHub listed tickets for the Sept. 9 game starting at $490 for the lower level end zone at Notre Dame Stadium.
A look across the SEC reveled an expensive September for non-conference games and the fans who want to attend them. But the Palmetto State rivalry in November held its own as Clemson and South Carolina checked in at $158.
Vivid Seats and StubHub each listed prices for the Alabama-Florida State game in Atlanta’s new Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic at more than $400, mostly in the upper bowl. The same venue two days later on Labor Day saw similar prices at $130 for Tennessee and Georgia Tech.
