I made a post about the most expensive tix in another thread last week, when LSU at Clemson actually edged Texas at OSU, helped by having 20,000 fewer seats to sell, and figured hey, why not do this weekly (don't worry, I'll keep it to this thread.)

This week's hottest tickets* are as follows:

Oklahoma hosting Michigan $253
Missouri hosting Kansas $196
Iowa State hosting Iowa $148
App State hosting Lindenwood $118
BYU hosting Stanford $106
Florida hosting USF $101

Honorable mention: Ohio hosting West Virginia is currently at $98, was over a hundred earlier in the week.

As usual, the second week of the year is usually a down week, buoyed by a pair of OOC rivalries and one meeting of blue bloods. Congrats to App State for showing up against FCS Lindenwood.

*As determined by ESPN's ticket selling partner during whichever time of the week I take the time to do this.

Huge credit to Lindenwood fans for driving up the price at App State.

They're selling 300-level tickets at Allegiant Stadium this weekend for UCLA-UNLV.

This game should rival the Rebels attendance record (42,228 vs. Boise in 2024).

Doesn't it kind of depend on where the seats are located? A pair of 50 yard line tickets in Charlotte are listed at $270, while many other seats are well under $100.

Yes, it does. With a few exceptions though it is still an excellent indicator for how desperate people are to see a game. A stadium represents how much a program's admin thought they could draw when it was built, then lowest ticket price represents how desperate the fanbase is to actually get in and see the game.

Seat Geek the lowest prices (with fees) for TN-UGA is $409.

Almost missed this week, been thinking a little less about football with my team on bye....

$140 Indiana hosting Illinois, good work Hoosiers
$124 Miami hosting Florida

Somewhat honorary mention of $88 dollars for Nebraska hosting Michigan. Thats season destroyer for both programs, I guess a decade in the pits has dampened Husker enthusiasm somewhat.

Do I even want to know the top prices of Ore-PSU and Ala-Ga?

As of last night PSU-Oregon was going for 440 a seat on Vivid seats (which is the one ESPN uses) and has officially priced me out. Sucks dude. Hopefully they drop down a little as the week goes on but it looks like playoffs or bust for me seeing the big game. Alabama and Georgia is probably a little lower than that, they get 2 versus 4 matchups type multiple times a season instead of once a decade.

My son and I looked at Miami @ FSU (is that this week?) $404.

Week after. FSU plays on Friday this week.

Duke at Cuse is a hot ticket

This is the first full week of conference play. Those tix are so hot, you pile em up and burn em.

$403 Georgia hosts Alabama
$380 Penn State hosts Oregon, creeping down into "I will attend" territory though decent seats are still well north of 600 dollars each.
$175 Ole Miss hosts LSU, rather cheap all things considered
$124 Texas A&M hosts Auburn
$118 Washington hosts Ohio State
$101 Mississippi State hosts Tennessee

Dishonorable mention this week is Illinois hosting USC with tickets going for as low as $40 dollars while the NW-UCLA Toilet Bowl is being played upstate with tickets starting at $67.

On the opposite end, there's some really good deals on SeatGeek for:

Hawaii-Air Force ($20)
Rice-Navy ($18)
UMass-Kent State ($15)
UMass-Ohio ($4)
Old Dominion-Marshall/Coastal (both @ $20)

Pretty much any Temple game. If Tulane is potentially in that playoff picture, that November game has some pretty cheap seats right now.

Going to Rice at Navy this weekend.

Man, Illini fans are throwing in the towel. It's one game! If I were anywhere near Champaign I'd be scooping this up.

I wonder what Fresno Baptist vs Chattanooga St tickets are going for…DavidSt?

I think they pay you to attend UMASS v Ohio

Those types of losses to a peer school rips deep
