No. 15 Texas A&M’s season finale matchup with the No. 1-ranked Texas Longhorns is more than a month away, but that doesn’t mean ticket prices for the biggest event of the college football season will go down anytime soon.
Both teams look like College Football Playoff contenders at the midseason mark. The Longhorns remain undefeated before facing Oklahoma in the annual Red River Rivalry on Saturday afternoon. Texas A&M’s five-game winning streak after blowing out Missouri 41-10 has the Aggies atop the SEC standings with a 3-0 conference record.
While the Longhorns’ remaining schedule looked easy on paper before the season started, facing Georgia at home and Vanderbilt on the road the week after looks much tougher.
Texas A&M’s three road games plus a home matchup vs. LSU could dictate the Aggie’s playoff hopes, and if any of those games results in a loss, facing Texas becomes a must-win.
Ahead of the game, Good Bull Hunting’s’ Robert Behrens first reported that through Seat Geek, ticket prices for Texas A&M vs. Texas are now higher than the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII rematch between Kansas City and the San Francisco 49ers, averaging anywhere between $759-$5,447 compared to $283-$1,171 for the NFL matchup.
For those with Texas A&M season tickets, enjoy the game! For everyone else, these prices make your couch look much better.
Texas A&M will face the Texas Longhorns in the first revival of the Lone Star Showdown on Saturday, Nov. 30.
