I can’t believe how low those tickets are for a playoff game. Nosebleed tickets would be 500 plus at Neyland for this one.

CFP committed REALLY missed a golden opportunity here.

The CFP gets the bulk of the $ for the tix.

Unsure of the face value on these you guys are grabbing for $200 or so.

I'm pretty confident that the lowest face price on a game at Neyland could have been 5 bills and still would have sold out

Cost themselves a pretty penny with preferential treatment to the Suckeyes.

On a personal level, I was really looking forward to a game in Neyland. I should be arriving in East TN sometime Thursday afternoon for the holidays. Thought for once fortune was shining on me, but alas it was not to be.

If I didn't have family obligations I would be going to this game with the way ticket prices are dropping

The game sold out so nothing was lost by the committee. These are resell tickets.

Vulnerability time. I’ve been a die-hard UT fan since I was 8 or 9. My whole family bleeds orange, so I was born into it. Cut my teeth as a fan during the Fulmerian decline and then suffered through the dark years. I can remember ho-hum (from my perspective) wins against Shula’s Alabama teams, sweating bullets before UF and UGA games, the Wilhoit kick, the frustration of two losses to Cadillac Williams in one year, the agony of 2010 LSU, and the glory of the Dobbs nail boot. I went from scouring the News Sentinel on Sundays to scouring VN with embarrassing frequency for many periods over the last 15 years (used to have another account I lost the password to).

Despite my longstanding fandom, I’ve never been to a UT game outside of the O&W game one year when I was ten or so, and working concessions in the upper deck for a Bama game for a high school fundraiser. I have never taken in an actual Vols game in person. Parents weren’t big on going to…well really anything with crowds, and I moved out of state pretty early on in my young adult years.

Been in Ohio for just over half of the past decade, so this is the non-conference matchup I’ve been craving more than any other. To see the Big Orange—my Vols—in the Horseshoe, in Columbus, the first place I lived outside the Knoxville metro, would be pretty special. Like many of us, dropping Christmas gift money on tickets just isn’t an option. I’ve been waiting with bated breath to see if they’ll go low enough for me to justify it to myself. We shall see. I’ll make it to a game in Neyland someday though, even if it’s just East Popcorn State.

FYI..I wouldn't recommend B-level unless you don't mind pillars. The seats are situated under a mid-tier canopy supported by hefty old-school steel pillars that can be annoying depending on the angle. You need to choose wisely and watch for the 'obstructed view' notice. If you have never been there it's hard to describe how they are situated but I would keep that in mind. If you do decide to bite, avoid the areas diagonal to the endzone. No explanation is needed as to why you probably don't want to sit there.

And to anyone else, be very careful of seats in 11C upper portion. These are not stairs. They are bleacher seats.

Looks like an old school crappy stadium, you would think they'd upgrade that 1950's style stadium

Face value of tickets at all host sites were set by committee in a range. Each site had to sell all tickets in that range.

I've been checking ticket prices and they continue to drop. Saw some tickets for $150 just now.

I think the cold weather forecast is scaring people away.

It shouldn't..Ohio people are used to that weather and have packed out lesser games in worst weather.
