1 parking pass to Alabama game in 11th street garage. On campus parking, great location for tailgating and short walk to stadium.

$300 and can mobile transfer from UT season ticket app. Can meet local in Knoxville or transfer with Venmo payment.l if not local.

300$ for a parking pass? Some people have lost their minds. Either for offering this or considering it. I will give you a free parking pass in my driveway in Sarasota. You can get a round trip ticket to K-town on Allegiant for about half that and take an Uber to the stadium. You will have enough left for a hot dog and a beer.

That’s a little more complicated now that people have all but stopped driving Ubers in Knoxville. My wife tried to get one (to make it to where I was tailgating) for the ball state game and there were 6 active drivers, was gonna cost $80 to go 5 miles, and an hour wait.

Honestly, I pay almost as much for my yearly parking pass as 4 season tickets. And I’m happy to do it. Atmosphere, friends, food, kids having fun—the game is just the crescendo to an amazing day.

What happened to Uber in Knoxville? I used to use it all the time there.

i wouldn’t mind paying as much for the whole season as i do for my season tickets… but not for one game lol. we always set up a big tailgate and have been in 23b paying 100 a game all season and were happy to do it. but its not available for the alabama game unfortunately. i saw someone selling a 23B for 550 for the florida game only. that is just insane to me. 300 does seem steep for one game too… although, unless you get lucky, that’s about what it costs if you plan to host a tailgate it seems.

Not really sure. Probably the combination of inflation, gas, less money for drivers…just seems like fewer and fewer cars available.

We are at the top of G10, so I go all out every game.

I can confirm Uber/Lyft non-existent in Knoxville. Landed at Mghee-Tyson at 11am for Florida game. No Ubers available anywhere, at all. Waited 30 min for a taxi to finally show up. Shared it with 4 other strangers because we we didn’t know when we’d see another ride.

If the UT had any imagination, they'd work with the TDOT to have easy to travel bicycle paths from key spots, say up to 6-8 miles long, to the stadium or very nearby. Hotels, maybe convenience stores, and other strategically located businesses would have bike stations you rent a bike to use. A system of securing the bicycles at the course and at the stadium needs to be devised, and you get good exercise. Reduces pollution too, avoids fighting crowded post game exits as well. Maybe even rent those little electrically powered scooters as well. I know, I know, another wild and crazy WoodsmanVol idea. I'm full of them.
