You can get upper deck tickets for 40$'s
I bought 2 lower deck visitors section yesterday for 65$'s. We have relatives close by so we can double up the trip, visit for kids to Papaw's and game for us! Glad there were some tickets available, but there weren't a whole lot. especially down low.
This will be my 3rd MSU game and 4th football game this year to attend. I hate the 11am time too, but I will be there..
The Bears will sellout b/c of all the Bama fans. Their tickets are going for $250-$300.
Seriously, screw the start time, our fans need to nut up and be there. We need to make sure that the crowd is a factor in this game. The entire country will be watching and we can't have 3 empty sections for a Top 15 matchup.
I agree with the rest of your post, but airbnb hasn't caught on in Starkville yet. There's hardly anything available.Quote:

Upper deck $40 on the MSU site? Cheapest I saw when I looked was $65.
Did you check upper deck, end sections?Quote:

We don't show up and it says to coaches and recruits that we place a low priority on winning and only care when it falls in our laps.
People don't have money to burn. They like tv. Our crowds haven't had time to adjust to the 6000 seat expansion. Hopefully, it will catch up. If not, I hope the athletic department gets some deals out there for youth groups and stuff so we can get those seats filled. Nothing sinks a program like a bunch of empty seats in the stadium.
Just checked again, you are correct $45 for the end sections. Those are returned tickets. Still a lot of tickets left. That gets the total price of going down to about $280 for a family of four. My point still stands.Quote:

And like some have said, this is a huge game, national stage... Two top ranked teams, etc....
If y'all don't sell this out, I'm gonna want my jumbotron and expansion money back!
I just looked at every section. I'd estimate there are at least 3000 tickets left. There are a LOT in sections that aren't returned tickets.
3000 is actually not bad. Prob. be down to 1000 by kickoff.Quote:

If next weeks game against Auburn is at 2:30 or later, you won't be able to find a ticket. MSU's location just creates a unique problem when we get bad game times.
You also have to consider that A&M has road games this year at Bama and Auburn in addition to MSU. Of those three road trips, going to Starkville is probably the least desirable and thus A&M won't hardly bring any fans. This creates a massive influx of tickets available at the last minute, that MSU fans can buy. Most of the tickets still left are these tickets, and, since they just came on the market, it will take time to sell them. If A&M sells it's allotment, we probably aren't dealing with this.
Agree, 3,000 isn't bad, and, I agree, it will be down to under 1,000 by kickoff, and probably not even noticeable. My bigger worry is that students won't wake up that early, and their, OVERSIZED, student section won't be completely full.Quote:

That number is split between at least three schools too. The casual fan just isn't going to do it for the higher priced games. They also won't do it for a bad start time, and 11 AM is the worst other than Thursday.Quote:

Weather is going to be great, the students will already be buzzed up, I have a feeling that the students will stay...but then again, what do I know? I'm just a student, right?Quote:
