Would you pay over $100 for a resale ticket to see a major college football game?
Longhorns fans looking for a seat at the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium for the October 31 matchup against Mississippi State can now find resale tickets for less than $100. Secondary marketplaces have seen prices dip as the Bulldogs visit Austin on a three-game losing streak.
Why it matters
The drop in resale prices offers a rare, accessible entry point for Longhorns supporters who have faced a season of high demand following home games against major opponents like Florida and Ole Miss. With kickoff approaching, some analysts suggest prices could continue to trend downward for those waiting to grab a deal.
Resale platforms show 16,230 tickets currently available for the game, with entry prices as low as $83 compared to an average of $355.21. It remains to be seen if this volume will drive prices lower as the game approaches.
The players
Texas Longhorns
The University of Texas football team that plays its home games at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Mississippi State Bulldogs
The visiting football team that enters the October 31 game on a three-game losing streak.
The details
Fans can purchase tickets through secondary platforms including TickPick, StubHub, and Vivid Seats, though the university continues to use SeatGeek as its official fan-to-fan resale marketplace. The downward pressure on prices follows a three-game losing streak for Mississippi State, which contrasts with the premium pricing seen for future matchups like the November 21 game against Arkansas. Tickets for that game currently start at $146, reflecting higher demand for later-season SEC rivalries.

The Texas Context
This pricing shift follows the established demand trends seen throughout the 2026 SEC football schedule. It marks a departure from the high-premium tickets seen for major home games earlier this year.
Fans planning to attend the game on October 31 should monitor secondary sites for further fluctuations as kickoff approaches. Those waiting for future games should budget significantly more, with rivalry tickets like the Texas A&M game starting at $396.
The takeaway
