The lowest price I see is $175 each ticket to get into the UF/UT game :x

I would just wait until game day and then get them, I have always been able to get them at a better price. I only ended up paying $80 for awesome seats last year at UT/UF game. Just shop around with people on the street...you have to be careful when doing that though.

I won't pay outrageous prices for a game. Nothing above face value. Just not worth it.

Granted the Lambeau Field experience is a wonderful one, but it's usually a cold one, too...

Yeah they are, I always take a ticket from the previous game just so I can compare every little detail. I would be livid if I got a bogus ticket.

I wouldn't pay much for FL/GA tickets either if I were a Dawg fan in the last 15 years :P :lol:

Most I paid was for the National Championship Game in 1993... I think it was a few hundred........ But the experience of watching my Seminoles getting their first NC was priceless. :lol:

Think I paid $150 for the UF/UT Gaffney controversial Td catch game......paid $100 for OU/Texas......paid $100 for UF/GA last year. I know waiting until gameday is the best bet but I like to enjoy the gameday atmosphere without having to worry about hawking for tickets.

I think I've won or gotten for free every single football game (Broncos) I've been to. Not a TON of games, but probably 20 or so in my lifetime.

If I can't get a ticket at face value I'm staying home. No football game is that important.

Husband is a Giants fan living in Eagles territory. So we paid $100. for basic eagles giants tix for him and the boys.
Now I want to get Army/Navy tix to take the sons this year. You have to join the Army booster club or know somebody to get them. I went every year when i was young with my grandfather and uncles. They were WW2 vets and our local politiicans used to bring them tix for free. When I look back, what a nice thing that was for them to do.

I've just used connections to get free Pats tickets. I even got 20th row 50 yard line tickets to the Colts/Pats playoff game last year... best game I've ever seen 8)

Try getting a ticket to OSU/Texas this year. That's while I'll be sitting in front of the tube.... :-?

There is a chance one of my vendors might come up with one but a very, very long shot.

Fiancee's folks have season tickets to UT and we usually manage to "borrow" a student ID for me down at Auburn. I don't think I've paid for a ticket in ages.
