Driving from Lincoln, anyone have any advice for where to park ? Was going to come early Saturday and walk around before the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This lot was $15. Parked there both Sat/Sun last weekend. Maybe 20 cars there. Downside is 5 or so flights of stairs both up and then back down each way to get to stadium.

I bought Sat yesterday so I wouldn't have to stress about driving into town on Sat and still need tickets...I want to go walk around town and see the sights.

I don't have Sunday tickets yet. Last night after our game ended the cheapest on Ticketmaster was a list price of $200....now the lowest are at $275.

I'll be curious to watch how this plays out.

Got it, thanks for the tip I'll give that a try - assuming you just pay on entry.

I couldn't handle it any longer. Bought outfield tickets for Sunday game.

Man... Ticket prices surely can't keep going up like this... I've held off but am planning to go Sat/Sun...

Why not? Lot of folks haven't bought yet and tons of rich Aggies/Volunteers.

To someone else's question about delivery of tickets. I bought on SeatGeek and immediately there was a link to transfer to Ticketmaster account. They're now on the phone in Apple wallet.

Yes. Pay on entry, no leave and return. Easy walk to fan experience, merchandise tents.

Sorry, maybe this is more helpful that that image.

That is only for Gm 1 tickets right? I'm guessing my Gm 2 tickets won't show til Saturday.

I have no idea how true this will be for the finals games ... but our last game against Florida had some really cheap tickets available in good sections just before the gates open (I mean sub $150 including fees on TM). But that highly depends on how many tickets you are looking for together.

The best time to buy tickets was maybe in January. The second best time is either right this moment or right before the game starts. YMMV.

Florida game had plenty of empty seats and not that many Florida fans

No. Game 2 is the one I'm referring to. Game 2 is a certainty, so no reason not to have tickets yet.

When do the tickets for game 3 go live? Not an option on Ticketmaster right now.
agdaddy04
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Not until they know there will be a game.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I fully expect a game 3. Both teams are too good for it to likely be a sweep… but you never know I guess

So really there's no point in going to the ticket booth when it opens and try to get SRO if the game isn't sold out right?

For those of us with no tickets yet our options for Saturday are:

1. Pray that the prices decrease on Ticketmaster throughout the day leading up to first pitch

2. Stop by the ticket booth before game time to see if there's anything available/SRO

3. Pony up

Is this right?

The game is already sold out

Thanks must've missed that. Looks like I'll be getting in line early at the ticket booth
Aggie09Derek
How long do you want to ignore this user?
All sold, just resale ones available.

Do you have any decent seats available?

No im answering his question about how box office handles SRO

I've got my tickets im using. See everyone in Omaha!

That's what I'm doing. Got a rental car for less than $100, and it's a 2:30 drive. I did the same thing last weekend.

Saturday is looking too expensive for me at the moment, is there a good place to watch the game near the stadium that would have an electric atmosphere/vibe with other possible Aggies

I don't know this for certain, but I thought I read somewhere that SRO tickets were only available after regular ones sold out.

You are correct!

I think they can keep going up Secondary tickets sellers live for events like this and most years they make a little money on the CWS last weekend BUT this year they are going to make a lot of money. It is years like this that keep those guys in business

You are going to get "mugged" on the purchase of the tickets if you can afford it and be ok with over paying buy the tickets and enjoy the game. If you can't the scalper will find a guy who will buy them

This may be helpful, it may not but I like to track ticket inventory for events. Below is each championship game number of tickets on stubhub (with no filters) and the lowest price seat. IMO the question of whether or not ticket prices will stay high is all about how much supply there is.

Wed @ 7:23pm
Game 1 - 4545 tix, $109
Game 2 - 6757 tix, $142
Game 3 - 1401 tix, $116

Wed @ 9:39pm
Game 1 - 3612 tix, $224
Game 2 - 6020 tix, $167
Game 3 - 1400 tix, $116

Wed @ 10:25pm
Game 1 - 3369 tix, $247
Game 2 - 5408 tix, $171
Game 3 - 1351 tix, $154

Thurs @ 6:23am
Game 1 - 1826 tix, $273
Game 2 - 4218 tix, $181
Game 3 - 1311 tix, $179

Thurs @ 11:19am
Game 1 - 1357 tix, $290
Game 2 - 3307 tix, $183
Game 3 - 1273 tix, $174

Thurs @ 5:00pm
Game 1 - 1245 tix, $315
Game 2 - 3449 tix, $202
Game 3 - 1366 tix, $186

Thurs @ 10:00pm
Game 1 - 1193 tix, $389
Game 2 - 2376 tix, $259
Game 3 - 1371 tix, $217

Friday @ 5:37am
Game 1 - 1069 tix, $389
Game 2 - 2422 tix, $275
Game 3 - 1360 tix, $231

With only about 1,000 tickets left on stubhub and more than 24 hours until game 1, I expect prices to keep going up or at least have a floor that is very high. It seems like there are over 1,000 people on TexAgs alone still wanting tickets not to mention other Aggies and Tennessee fans. The pace of game 1 buying has slowed a bit, but prices have held steady.

Also on game 3 I think they haven't released the tickets yet or something. No listing on Ticketmaster and it's always been lower inventory. So game 3 is kind of skewed.

Morning update....market continues to creep up.....current low price for Sunday is $325

According to stubhub, 50 tickets were just listed.

Now you have purchasers jumping in to make money on recently purchased tickets.

The market is going to get pretty volatile.
