I'll go to either, you could put this game in Iran and I wouldn't miss it.
For reference, last year's Rose Bowl tix were $124 the week of Christmas. Obviously this year's game is bigger, but I'm betting that prices will go down, not up, from that current price point of $350.
But we're probably going to the Sugar Bowl anyways. $450 seems really high, but it's hard to know if the capacity difference of 75k for the Superdome vs 92k for the Rose Bowl makes a difference in any of that. Im taking my chances and waiting.
Ok, fair point. This is my first bowl game, so I appreciate the info
To be clear though, I'm also a slobbering idiot and prices could skyrocket past what they're at right now.
In tickets the short-squeeze is a rare event.
Most likely what you see for sale now are resellers arbitraging the market. Do they only have the last row in the section for sale? That’s a tell.
My wife went to Texas, Alamo bowl was what we thought was a once a decade chance to see our teams. I quickly She couldn’t handle the ups and downs of a Sark coached team and that im still a 21yo asshole in the stands. Needless to say she was not pleasant to me for a good 48hrs after the good guys won. I can’t imagine doing it again with 1000x at stake. So for that reason, we(!) are out and doubling down on a guaranteed houston game for us.
Paid out my ass for Houston tickets on Ticketmaster already.
I’ve had luck at least making back my cost (ticket +service fees) reselling on Ticketmaster, been buying early then selling when deciding logistics aren’t working.
I may try to ninja my way to NOLA if the opportunity arises to drive from Dallas, but doubt it.

The best move is to wait for prices to come down.
