We’re Number One!

Posted on by

It’s just not in a category you’d hope to see, especially if you plan on attending this season’s packed and exciting home schedule.

Average SEC ticket price are up 49% in 2025 ($132.58) compared to last season ($88.93).

Average ticket prices for Georgia football games is up 77% compared to last season ($157). Georgia vs. Alabama is the most expensive game in the SEC for 2025 at $726.

Texas A&M ($91.29) was the only SEC team with cheaper ticket prices year-over-year, down -41.8% from last season ($157).

South Carolina saw the biggest year-over-year increase in ticket prices at +191%.

Mississippi State ($46) has the cheapest average price for the second year in a row.

Is it just me, or did someone hear another cannon shot coming from Columbia?

Sellers in a great quarterback, but he’s lost some talent around him and that round they’re firing might turn out to be a dud.

Anyway, I think we saw this coming. Home games against Alabama, Ole Miss, and Texas will certainly do that to the market value, but having a home schedule this exciting has been a long time coming. If it turns out to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, will you take out a home loan to attend?

  1. I did not have “one day I’ll miss these ticket scalpers” on my bingo card.

  3. Getting Kirby and everything he needed was going to cost money and we all signed up for that deal. He delivered, so must “we”…meaning those who can still afford it. Touring B-M is still free to see the trophies.

  5. Finally the home schedule I’ve been waiting a long time for. Years of paying for cupcake games and other bad home games was much worse.

  6. Nope. While I love attending the games, and there’s nothing like an important home game for electric atmosphere, the line on the “is it worth it?” graph has long since been crossed.

  7. It’s not the money. It’s the 4 hour time investment for 1 hour of actual play. I just don’t enjoy the in stadium experience anymore.
    Now… you kids get off my lawn.

    • For a Georgia game, I’ll take the entire day’s experience (other than parking) for the in-stadium experience over section HD. I’ve said it many times … the day I give up my tickets for something other than physically not being able to go is the day I’m done with the sport.

      • Truth. But don’t get me wrong, gameday in Athens is a blast. My kid lives in town so I’ll go see him for a cupcake game or two every season. We have some friends that tailgate so we’ll see them then do a bit of a pub crawl.
        Anecdotally: My grand-dog is a spectacular 3-legged chocolate lab named Oakley. (Hoppy, to me) The dog goes everywhere we do on gameday. Her game day outfit is a black collar with a big red bow and her very own Jersey. Hoppy makes the Pied Piper look like a ranked amateur for all the attention she gets and I believe the dog actually thinks the whole parade is for her!

  8. Our tickets are the most expensive, while they cut the size of the Redcoats by 20% and they have to have a GoFundMe to buy drums.

    • They are the most expensive on the secondary market. If you have a problem with the size of the Redcoats or their equipment, take it up with the Hodgson School of Music because the band is managed by the school.

      Should the AA help fund the Redcoats? Yes.

  9. Let’s wait until game week for some of these games. These prices will come down significantly. What I paid for my Texas tickets in the secondary market was 30% less than where they started.

    • It’s the classic thing of “I can ask for anything” right now. You have to pay me a significant premium for me not to use my tickets to that game. Some would call that the “I don’t want to sell it” price.

      The prices drop the closer the game gets because the finite value of the ticket where it eventually drops to 0.
