How much does an average season ticket in the SEC cost?

It is officially summer, so die-hard college football fans are planning to watch their favorite teams play in the fall. Many fans are even rushing to secure season tickets so they don’t miss any of the 2023 season close to home.

Locally, Auburn fans are ready to get back into Jordan-Hare Stadium to support new head coach Hugh Freeze, as well as the revamped roster. According to Jason Caldwell of Auburn Undercover, season ticket sales are ahead of last year’s total by over 5,000 seats, which is the most since 2017.

The demand for season tickets is incredibly high, but there are still plenty of options available for those who wish to attend every home game of the 2023 season thanks to ticket resale marketplace TicketSmarter.

There are several season ticket options available on TicketSmarter for Auburn fans, as well as for fans across the SEC footprint. Who has the lowest average price for season tickets? What about the most expensive?
