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