TicketCity Reveals Top 25 Hottest College Football Games for Week 6

Ticket Prices Remain Steady Mid-Way Through the Season

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The weekend in college football featured no shortage of offense, highlighted by Heisman front runner Geno Smith and the #8 West Virginia Mountaineers. Facing the Baylor Bears in Morgantown, the West Virginia offense exploded for 10 touchdowns. The #1 Alabama Crimson Tide continued to roll, becoming the unanimous #1 in the AP Poll, after receiving all 60 first-place votes. This season’s most in-demand games hold steady on TicketCity’s top 25 list as TicketCity highlights these teams and many more that are not to be missed, and counts down the most popular games of the season based on ticket sales, prices, customer inquiries, and searches on TicketCity.com.

The ESPN Game Day gang head to Columbia, SC for a pivotal SEC-East matchup between the #5 Georgia Bulldogs and #6 South Carolina Gamecocks. The visiting Bulldogs come off a wild shootout win against the Tennessee Volunteers. Their high powered offense, led by a pair of freshman running backs, has scored more than 40 points for a 5^th straight game. The Gamecocks come into the game undefeated with big wins over Missouri and Kentucky in successive weeks. This matchup of Top 10 heavyweights should yield an exciting and crucial outcome, with major BCS implications. The average ticket price on the secondary market is $231, however TicketCity currently offers tickets starting at $159.

In Big 12 action, the #8 West Virginia Mountaineers travel to Austin to take on the #11 Texas Longhorns. The two schools have not met since 1956, when West Virginia defeated Texas 7-6. The matchup pits one of the most explosive offenses in the country against a talented and experienced Texas defense. The electricity in Austin will be unprecedented, as Big 12 powers clash for national and conference bragging rights. TicketCity currently offers tickets starting at $99.

The undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes welcome the #21 Nebraska Cornhuskers to the Horseshoe, hoping to avenge last year’s disappointing loss at the hands of the Huskers in Lincoln. Ohio State, leading by 21 at Halftime, relinquished the lead and eventually watched Nebraska steal their first Big Ten victory. This year, the Buckeyes aim for a different outcome in familiar territory. This marquee struggle should certainly be entertaining and should not be missed. The average ticket price on the secondary market is $229, however TicketCity currently offers tickets starting at $70.
