Despite recent price increase, SECCG tickets still at three-year low

Georgia football SEC Championship tickets for the UGA vs LSU game are at a three-year low.

With Georgia and LSU ready to tee it up from the SEC Championship on Saturday, TicketIQ provided us with some insight into ticket prices for the big game.

Tickets saw a slight increase in price this week after what was a downward trend for the two previous weeks.

Despite the increase in price this week, this still remains the cheapest SEC Championship of the last three years.

The current average price is now $710, which is up 3% this week, and the get-in price is currently sitting at $246, a 9% increase this week).

And even with this being the cheapest SEC Championship in the last three seasons, it is still by far college football’s most expensive ticket of championship weekend.

Behind Georgia and LSU, the second most expensive average ticket this weekend is in the BIG10, where Ohio State will play Wisconsin.

 

With no Alabama or Auburn, SEC Championship ticket prices at 3-year low

SEC Championship tickets for Georgia football vs LSU are at a three-year low.

This Saturday will mark the first time since 2011 that neither Alabama or Auburn has represented the SEC West in the conference championship.

That 2011 season featured LSU and Georgia meeting in Atlanta, same as this Saturday, with the Tigers beating the Bulldogs 42-10 (hopefully not same as this Saturday).

For this weekend, prices have been trending downward over the last two weeks, though it will still cost you a pretty penny to see your team play for the SEC title.

The current average price for Saturday’s game is $822 (down 36% over the last two weeks) and the get-in price is at $257 (down 27% over that same time frame).

Compared to the last eight SEC Championships, LSU vs Georgia is on the more expensive end when talking get-in prices. Georgia’s 2017 matchup with Auburn was by far the most expensive SEC Championship Game we have seen.

Look at the Georgia vs LSU get-in price for 2019 compared to the last time the two teams met in Atlanta in 2011. The price has more than doubled. Then again, in 2011, Georgia already had two losses on its record and did not have a shot at playing for a national title.

While SEC championship prices are at their lowest point since the opening of the new Mercedez-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the cheapest national championship ticket is currently above $1,000, making it the 4th most expensive championship that ticket vendor TicketIQ has tracked.

If LSU is able to reach the national title game, prices could continue to move up, as TicketIQ detailed in this blog post.
