Just scored tickets for $251.00 plus fees which brought the total to $345.00 on the Washington side. I think they might come down but I thought I pull the trigger since they were on row 6 in the upper level.

I was looking at those seats also.  Figured I wait.

I don't see any reason to consider buying until next week given the amount of inventory.

Absolutely this, unless you're just sick and tired of staring at ticket sites everyday.

Section 277 row 1 holla!  Bought 4 from a Sugar Bowl Rep associate of mine.  Can't wait to root on the Horns!!

For those of you asking about face value; I buy two tickets ever year directly from the Sugar Bowl.  They are lower level around the 5 yard line in Section 145, Row 17.  My cost is $310 per seat or $620 for the pair.  There are some service charges and handling fees but I would consider $310 face value for that end / section.

With the fees and charges, 350 a ticket 700 a pair for face, is that fair?

That's a pretty big increase from last year. The most expensive ticket at SoFi was $1,175 and the club amenities there are a lot nicer than NRG.

Fuck, just got the flush letter on the NC game.  20K seats for each school which includes LHF season ticket holders, students, the band seems pretty ridiculous.

I’m not sure TCU has 20,000 living alumni.

If anyone needs 1 I have a UW guy that is selling his 3 extra and I only want 2 of them. Right in the middle of their section (328C) but...

Lots of Washington section tickets opening up in the upper deck between the goal lines; section 637 down to $335 all-in on Ticketmaster...

Damn, the lowest face value ticket for the final is 650?  

In the Texas allotted section. I thought cheapest overall was 450 but obviously don't know for sure.

So maybe the schools allotment is not the lowest priced tier.

Seems like there's way more inventory all of a sudden today. SeatGeek went from I think 1,500 or so tickets for sale yesterday to 2,700 as I type this.

Prices on a few I've been following this week have dropped as well

Big drops today.  This one set I've been watching went from 865 to 657 overnight.  Still holding out, but it's getting more difficult.

Bought some cheap seats on TickPick. We have a big group and a set of 10 tickets together opened up, otherwise we might not have gone but couldn't pass it up.

Let me know if you need party VIP ticket unlock code they are sold out to the public. 

Just like others have mentioned on here, prices especially in the upper level have dropped considerably.  Feel sorry for those who rushed to buy the $600 upper level tix.
 

im wondering how likely it will be that i can score some in the lower level for face value soon

Seems people are buying below $300 since prices have held around $270ish the last few days.  Inventory is still relatively strong though.  I'll probably cave in the next couple of days.

The ticketmaster search function has always kind of sucked, but typically it lets you put in set price parameters that allows you to track (by highlighted section and highlighted seats) as prices are drooping.  For example, you could cap the range at $500 after fees and it will highlight which tickets are available.  For me at least, the high end is set at "$355+" so you could drop below 355 but not set a higher number.  Is this the same for everyone else?  Never seen this issue before so not sure if across the board or something weird on my app.

Yeah, and it only started about a week ago; prior to that you could enter a set upper amount in increments of $50. It’s almost like they don’t want people to be able to easily see where there are good seats for ‘cheap’.

”Well goddammit, this site is so difficult to use I guess I’ll just go ahead and buy these upper EZ tix for $1,100 each”….

Well, as long as they don't mess with the cap again it may end up working out fine.   At this point, given the amount of inventory, I don't see spending more than $350 for a pair of decent seats.  I set it at $350 earlier and a pair in the 100 level endzone popped up (I think they sold for $420 after fees).  It's just as easy way to track how quickly prices are lowering if they fix it back to where it was though.

Remind me what sections are the UW sections?

Somewhere around 131 - 142

I think some may be missing out on some good pricing by just looking on the Longhorn "side" of the goalposts.  There are some good tix much cheaper as you get to the UW side in the end zones/corners on both sides.

Have a friend selling the 2 seats near me in 316. PM me if you want the details and pricing.

For some reason, I’m not able to PM you. Interested in these 2. 

These freakin’ tickets are really gonna get so low I’ll be tempted to pull the trigger, huh? Eh, spent way too much time on the road for multiple holiday trips in the last week, plus if I did make the trip, I doubt I could find lodging.

I saw a pair of upper level tickets for $199 each AFTER fees on ticketmaster this morning. We have officially hit face value realm

Too late to find a flight so that means you're driving, which means you found your lodging.

There's lodging available if you do a little digging as a lot of folks that made a reservation have 3 days before checkin to get a refund so stuff randomly pops up. Today I grabbed a place downtown 4 blocks from Superdome.  Even if those aren't available I saw a lot of stuff further out.

I noticed that as well, which tells me ticket prices haven't hit bottom yet.

I was just looking on Hotwire and I am getting $229 per night plus taxes for what I believe is the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.  That room is $459 if booked directly through Hyatt.  Ticket prices are also "reasonable" now and will probably come down more.  Only thing holding me back is the 10 hour each way drive from South Texas.
