StubHub has tickets to the game on Saturday. It's an excellent time to take your family if you've never been able to afford to go!

I'm trying to find SEC games that are cheaper than those.

Vandy/UK is $16
Vandy/Mizzou is $6

You can make this an Arkansas thing if you want, but reality is (I think it's intentionally being looked over at the moment) is attendance is down across the board in football, NCAA and NFl and even before this past weeks kneeling deal

You would have to compare it to a non con game.

Our cheapest conference game (on StubHub) is vs. Mizzou for $14.

Oh, I'm not worried about the non-cons.  We have some of the lowest SEC prices, though. 

It will be interesting to see how attendance looks the rest of the year.

Not trying to make it an Arkansas thing. Trying to bring up the point if you have a big family or maybe a church youth group, this is the time to take people who have never been. Should be a great game!

Is $6 the lowest the tickets can go?

Seems like that is the default low price for a lot of these non-con games.

I am thinking of taking my family. We cannot afford to go to conference games and have young kids who will most likely not make it the entire game so this is a great opportunity. Will be sitting in the nose bleeds but it is still fun for a family like mine who normally has to watch from home.

Sounds great, enjoy the game.

What's the StubHub fee with this?

It's typically around $15-$20 per ticket isn't it?

Would need to factor that in.

Still not bad to see the Missouri game.  Chance to watch an SEC win, would have kind of a "history in the making" feel to it.

It's a percentage on most tickets.  Not sure if there is a minimum.  I'd assume so on tickets they have to ship.  Not sure on electronic tickets.

That's because nobody wants to be packed into a stadium like a sardine anymore.

I did Stub Hub and for 4  $8.00 tickets it came to $49.

I t does lower the cost to attend but you've still got gas, food, hotels to cover at regular prices.

My wife and I decided to take our son to his first game this weekend and really looking forward to it. We haven't been to a game in about 8 years and were able to score some great seats for this weekends game.

Sounds like a $6 pass to go back into the stadium after halftime tailgating...

For ones wanting to get rid of their tickets to the game this Saturday it's going to be tough, I've seen some nice lower bowl seats going for below $20.00 so far.  For some who want to go to the game for the first time you can probably walk up and get some for free Saturday morning.

Right before kickoff, I also expect this to be true.

No problem, there will be lots of empty seats in every section. Once the game starts, just move wherever you want and enjoy!

High as hell ticket prices, plus every game on TV has killed ticket sales.  I haven't been to the stadium in years, but I have a physical condition that prohibits that at my age.  I know I wouldn't pay $80 or more for a football ticket when it's on TV for free.

If you can get the kids to stay, try this. Following the game, take your kids to the west (Razorback Rd.) side of the Fred Smith Football Center.  The players parking lot is across the street from the football indoor.  It's a great chance for your kids to meet players and get autographs.  Players will come out about 30-40 minutes after leaving the field.

I did that a ton with my older son when he was 5,6,7 yrs old. This we 2003-2005. We would go up day of and got tickets given to us outside the stadium more than once. If we did buy it was upper deck, and we had a great time. OF course I think face value was only 20 or 25 back then too.

This is yet another indication that major football programs and conferences are eventually going to learn that fans' tolerance for paying to see terrible matchups against inferior opponents if not limitless.  People don't want to go to these games, and a lot of them probably don't even want to watch them.  Even if they do watch "their" team play a cupcake, they aren't going to watch some other P5 team beat up on a hapless rent a win.

This isn't just an Arkansas thing, it is a Reality of 2017 and Beyond thing.  There are plenty of choices for how to spend entertainment dollars, and if the big boys and conferences of college football want people to continue to buy what they are selling at some point they are going to have to quit offering substandard products.

This is NW Arkansas not LR...most likely the stadium will be full.  That's why we need to move all the games to Razorback Stadium.

Maybe, maybe not.  The point is that many of the people in the stadium will have either paid $6 for their seats...or at least some discount rate...or gotten in free.  How long is a system in which season ticket buyers sell their tickets to half the games on the schedule for 10% of what they paid or give them away sustainable in 2017...and beyond?

roflmao.  You must have gotten ahold of some shrooms if you actually believe that RRS will be full Saturday, I will doubt that there will be 60,000 there although they will announce a bigger crowd because of tickets sold.
