Florida/Bama Tickets question

I am wondering how to get tickets to these games at a reasonable price, but I cry infront of my computer when I see these prices online. I live in Nashville so going to a UT game is not too hard on me. But I CAN NOT pay 400 dollars for 2 tickets!!!

What should I do? How do you get tickets to these two games without breaking the bank? I know times are changing with sporting event costs(trust me I KNOW we pay for Titans PSL's every year). But I remember when UT games were 38.00 $ a ticket, not 200!!!!

Go to another game everyone cry's about prices for Bama & Gators games. You can go to any other home game for less than $50 each if you don't want to pay for the big games DON'T GO !!

So tickets for UF game will never go onsale individually? Doesn't seem like they can sell out with only season ticket holders.

looks like I'll be risking it. I'm guessing no official word on exact date for the individual sale?

I don't think there is one. But scalpers will continue to raise the price closer it gets to gametime.

From time to time they will release a select amount for the big game via the internet. I doubt they will for Florida though as demand is very high from what I was told by the ticket office and that the season tickets holders basically bought all the rest available before they went on sale to the general public. I would scapl. I have never been to a UT game no matter how big where there were not fistfuls of tickets available as I was walking into the stadium about 30 minutes prior to kickoff.

no florida or bama tickets will be sold to the general public...big donors had first dibs at extra seats to those games and guess what they are gone...the only way there will be extras is if they don't sell out the student allotment...fat chance that happens for either of thos games...just buy season tickets and sell the games you don't want to go to...

Also depending on how many tickets Florida is alloted they may not sell all of theres and therefore there will be random ones available. I bought my LSU ticket in 2006 off the UT website in the LSU section because they had some that were returned.
