The Louisiana State University Tigers basically ended Alabama's college football playoff title hopes when they beat the Tide last year. According to those who support the University of Alabama's football program, this year's game is "personal".

And when you have members of the team saying a game is "personal" you can only imagine just how "personal" the game is to the fans of both of these proud schools. Both Alabama and LSU are nationally ranked. The just released (10/31/23) College Football Playoff Rankings have Alabama ranked at number eight while LSU is slotted in the number fourteen position.

Alabama can really solidify its grip on the SEC Western Division with a win over the Tigers. Alabama has already beaten Ole Miss a team that LSU lost to earlier in the year. So a loss to 'Bama by the Tigers pretty much takes them out of any discussions for a chance to play for a national championship.

With so much to play for on the field and so much passion in the stands you can bet that the LSU vs Alabama matchup on Saturday night will be a must-see on TV and for some fans, it will have to be experienced in person. I mean the winner of this game has gone on to play in the SEC Championship game 10 times in the last dozen years. So, it's a big deal and a very big game.

How Much are Tickets for Alabama vs LSU?

Both schools have apparently sold out of their allotment of tickets which means you'll need to secure your seats via the secondary resale market or as we call it the secondary resale markup, cuz that's what they doin' to the price baby.

On the ticket resale sites Vivid Seats, StubHub, and Seat Geek we were able to find tickets for the game. The lowest price we saw in our quick search was $133 for a single ticket on Seat Geek. The lowest price on Stub Hub was $140, while Vivid Seats had an entry-level ticket for $147

How Much are the Most Expensive Tickets for LSU vs Alabama?

We did see a set of four tickets on the Vivid Seats site that was priced at $57,432 but that's for four seats and I am hoping it's a typo. The other tickets around those seats are going for about $1,500 each. The highest single ticket that we saw on Vivid Seats was $1,940.

On Stub Hub we found tickets in similar sections as those on Vivid Seats selling for about the same price. I am thinking about $150 would get you a good seat for a great game. But if you really want to spend some money, Stub Hub has an offering for a single ticket priced at over $930 with some package deals priced at over $6,000.00

Seat Geek has a similar offering as the other two sites. You can find some decent seats for a little over $100. If you spend $150 or more you could have some really great seats. The top-end seats we saw on Seat Geek were priced at over $950 bucks for a single ticket. They too offered some package deals that you could pay thousands of dollars for if you were so inclined.

Kickoff for LSU at Alabama is set for 6:40 p.m. on Saturday Night. You can watch the game on CBS. LSU and Alabama last met in a primetime game on CBS back in 2020. All in all the LSU vs Alabama game has been featured on the network in primetime nine times over the past dozen years.
