AUSTIN — One year after failing to fill Royal-Memorial Stadium even once during a 6-7 season, Texas still is proving itself to be a huge draw away from home.
Tickets for the Longhorns’ games at Notre Dame and against Oklahoma are among the most expensive in college football on the resale market, according to figures updated this week by Vivid Seats.
To attend UT’s season opener against the Fighting Irish in South Bend, Indiana, on Sept. 5, fans are paying a median price of $789. Only Notre Dame’s game against Boston College at Fenway Park (median price of $887) is in higher demand.
As usual, the annual Red River rivalry game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas is a tough ticket as well. To get into the Oct. 10 UT-OU game, fans are paying a median price of $447. That makes it the fourth most expensive ticket in college football, right behind Alabama-Auburn.
UT received a 5,000-ticket allotment for the Notre Dame game (it will distribute the same number to the Fighting Irish when they play in Austin in 2016). Those seats were made available for Longhorns season ticket holders to purchase, in order of their rank in UT’s loyalty points system. The same system is used to allocate tickets to the OU game.
For other fans, one of the only ways to get into either UT-Notre Dame or the Red River game is by hitting the secondary market. A look at StubHub this week showed the cheapest available ticket seat at Notre Dame — high in the corner above the end zone — costs $449. And for $3,582.50, a fan can get a seat a few rows behind the Longhorns bench.
