Saturdays BAMA game question

[Volture]

I'm coming up to Knoxville from chatt for my first home basketball game in TBA! I have tailgated many times for football games but never for bball. Where should I set up? I wanna grill and just made a new set of cornhole boards that I wanna use. Just wanting to get you regulars opinions on my best bet! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

And inb4 this needs to be in the tailgating forum. I realize this but that place is dead this time of year. Mods you can move this whenever but I just wanted it to be seen by you regulars

i've never really seen anyone tailgate for basketball. maybe the AG campus and then you an take the free bus over to TBA.

Of if you can get a pass to G10, you might be able to set up there.

How would you go about getting a pass?

I'd also like to know if I'd be better off using StubHub or eBay for tickets or trying to scalp a couple on the day of. I'm looking to go to the Bama game Saturday.

I know stub hub has some pretty cheap ones right now. Couldn't imagine getting much better from scalping aside from getting them free lol

That's what I was thinking, though I was trying to avoid upper deck this time around. Most lower bowl seats are still 35+ each.

I meant G5/30, not G10.

Apparently you get the thru giving to the Tennessee Fund. Some people sell them on eBay, so I'd check there. Or Craigslist.

I got Memphis seats 3 rows behind the bench for 50 a piece by scalping...you'll be fine.

If you wait 5 minutes prior to tip $10 will get you lowers.

Thanks. Found a couple lower level baseline for $16 each at this point. Don't onboard how early my group wants to get in there.

After checkout those are probably $21 a ticket I'm guessing?

Yeah. $20 after fees and all.

Yea you can find better seats for that price IMO. All really depends how many you're buying and how early you wanna get in.

Ok, cool. I appreciate it. Are they still scalping by the arena or did they have to move?

They're all along the roads by the arena, can't miss em.
