There are tix for sale on the ticketmaster website. They have some lovely upper deck, corner of the end zone seats that would be good if you own a pair of very high quality binoculars.

Those are actually pretty good seats at the GA Dome. You can see the entire game unfold. Seriously

I just bought four tickets in the 300 level row 5. If my ut connection comes through I will sell these four to any vols in the atlanta area or otherwise at face value.... Let you all know.

Agreed. I went to the 01 and 07 SECCG and had upper deck seats both times and was still able to see the game pretty good. Aint no bad seats in the dome from what I could see.

My Falcons season tickets are upper corner and the seats are actually pretty good. It isn't like the upper corner at Neyland where you can kind of make out orange ants running around down on the field.

The GA Dome/CNN Center area will be FULL of scalpers if that's the way you want to go. Try near the Marta station. Don't pay much...they will be cheap on gameday.

And, I agree...There really isn't a "bad seat" in the GA Dome (for football. Basketball is a whole different story, thanks to the 986 rows of press in front of the grandstands).

I think uttix.com is the place? Not sure about buying them on the street in the ATL. Scalping is illegal in Georgia I believe.

My buddys bought 4 off the street and found out they were fakes and were denied at the door much to their dismay in 06

I don't believe tickets will be difficult to come by.

Va. Tech DOES travel well-----the fact that they played their first game this year at the Georgia Dome might shrink their road following just a bit-----for some fans, that trip represented all they planned to do in terms of traveling to see the team play on the road. UT travels well, too. Plus, no bowl game last year at all means that traveling Vol fans will be "itching" to get on the road again.

Taking all of this into consideration, the game might be sold out....but there will be plenty of tickets available from alternate sources.

UT allowed season ticket holders the option of buying tickets to bowl games two or three weeks ago (and they still can right now)----they listed several bowl games that UT could potentially be invited to. You then chose which of those games YOU WILL buy tickets for------it was not a polling of interest; you actually gave them your credit card # which they will charge if UT goes to one of the bowl games you selected. I indicated I would buy tickets if UT went to either Atlanta or Tampa, so.... the credit card charge will show up this weekend after the bowl announcement is made. UT uses this process so that they can KNOW how many tickets they are guaranteed to sell. This is important because the school has to make a commitment on the # of tickets they will buy to any potential bowl game. They will, of course, sell MORE than just those that season ticket holders bought-----BUT it is a good indicator of the interest in the bowl game and how many they can potentially sell. If its' true that Auburn committed to 30,000 tickets and UT would not, it probably means that the PRE-sale to season ticket holders indicated they couldn't get to that level of sales. Hard to believe Auburn could either----but perhaps Auburn is willing to buy that many regardless of how many they think they can sell to their fans.

I hope that UT fans will travel to Atlanta in droves. When Alabama and Va. Tech played earlier this year the tickets were split 50/50 and the representation was 50/50. That usually does not happen in a bowl game-----it just depends. Even in recent SEC Championship games that UT has participated in, the years we played LSU the UT fans outnumbered LSU fans about 5 to 1. But against Auburn is was 50/50. My guess is the Dome will about 50/50 on New Year's Eve.

There are always scalpers a-plenty outside the Ga Dome if you don't get them ahead of time. I have gotten pretty decent deals on tickets for SECCGs and Women's Final Four.

Unless you are staying downtown overnight, take the MARTA. It's much simpler than dealing with that traffic.

It is illegal but they don't really enforce the law on that. You can go to ATL and there will be 2 hundred people outside the dome selling tickets...

Just watch out for fakes!

It isn't illegal; they decriminalized it a few years ago (unless you're within 1000 feet of the stadium or some stupid rule like that).



However, it is, as you say, "buyer beware". The risk of ending up with a bad ticket has gotten worse because some people will re-print their tickets as PDF files and then sell the hard copies (which will no longer scan at the gate).
