Jerry Rice Son, Brenden and Shiloh going at it like they’re dads did but I didn’t know Brenden actually played for Colorado before transferring. That’s funny

Colorado Buffaloes ticket prices tumble after loss to Oregon​

Fri, September 29, 2023, 12:56 PM CDT
The Colorado Buffaloes became the hottest ticket in college football after three straight wins to open the season. Thanks to coach Deion Sanders and his "Prime Effect", Colorado has a star-studded crowd on the sidelines before and after games.

But after the first loss of the season, how has the resale market changed?

Colorado coach Deon Sanders talks to line judge Bret Bascule in the second quarter of his team's against TCU at Amon G. Carter Stadium.



How much are Colorado Buffaloes tickets?​

Prior to Week 4's 42-6 defeat to the Oregon Ducks, Colorado boasted the highest price for the cheapest ticket on the re-sale market in college football. Data from ticket marketplace Vivid Seats showed the average cost of the cheapest seat in any of the Buffaloes' remaining games was $174.

After that loss to the Ducks, the re-sale market for Buffaloes tickets dropped significantly. As of Sept. 28, here's how the prices have changed:

  • The average price for the cheapest seat in remaining Buffaloes games is $118. That's a 32% drop in just a week.
  • Saturday's game against USC saw one of the biggest price drops. A week ago, the cheapest ticket on the resale market started at $392. This week, it's $169, a 56% decrease in price.
  • Home tickets are down to $165 per game for the cheapest seats, according to Vivid Seats data.

Will Colorado ticket prices change?​

The change after the Oregon loss shows how much prices can fluctuate. Colorado is a 21-point underdog to USC this weekend. A shock win could see another big jump in price; a big loss could see another drop.

Colorado goes on the road to take on Arizona State on Oct. 7 and then plays Stanford at Folsom Field Oct. 14. Both games are winnable and a couple of victories could see the average cheapest price rise as a result.



Who has the most expensive college football tickets?​

Now that Colorado's out of the top spot, more of the big names in college football have the most expensive tickets.

The cheapest tickets for Notre Dame's remaining games average $135 each. Ohio State comes in a little higher at $138 each for the cheapest tickets. That's buoyed by the season finale at Michigan where the lowest re-sale ticket prices are $467, per Vivid Seats.

Even with the drop in price for Saturday's game, USC comes in with the highest average price at $142. The Oct. 14 matchup on the road against Notre Dame boasts the highest price at $378 for the cheapest seat.

Folsom Field’s narrow sidelines will be packed with several of the nation’s top 2024, 2025 and 2026 prospects on Saturday for Colorado’s clash with USC.

For head coach Deion Sanders and his staff, each home game represents an opportunity to give recruits an up-close look at the program’s culture, and the Buffs are taking full advantage this weekend. It also doesn’t hurt that big names such as LeBron James, Jay Z and Matthew McConaughey are reportedly coming to Boulder as well.

Lincoln Riley shares his thoughts on Colorado, Deion Sanders​

Matt Wadleigh
USATSI_18139089.jpg

The USC Trojans and Colorado Buffaloes are set to face off this weekend in Boulder on Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff.” There will be plenty of celebrities on hand to see this game, including Jay Z and LeBron James, reportedly.

On the field, this is a story of two programs on the rise. The Trojans fired Clay Helton and hired Lincoln Riley, who was at Oklahoma. Riley brought in numerous transfers and landed Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Caleb Williams.


The Buffs fired Karl Dorrell and stunned the world by hiring Deion Sanders, and what Coach Prime has done in Boulder so quickly is unprecedented.

Now, they face off. Riley spoke in great detail about Coach Prime and the Buffs earlier this week (h/t Carter Bahns of 247Sports):

ONE OF THE BEST TO PLAY THE GAME​

USATSI_9525405.jpg

Lou Capozzola-USA TODAY NETWORK
“I’m looking forward to getting the chance to meet him and visit with him. I mean, obviously, he’s one of the best players that’s ever played our game, and so I think he’ll always have an important place in our game, no matter what.”

NO BULLETIN BOARD APPROACH​

Stan Szeto-USA TODAY Sports
“We haven’t been focused on opponents or any of the outside things. To each his own, and we’ve got to stay focused and try to — we’ve got plenty of things that we’ve got to get better at and be ready to handle that have to do with us. And if any of our focus is going anywhere else, then that’s not the best thing for USC.”

IMPORTANCE OF SHEDEUR SANDERS, CALEB WILLIAMS​

USATSI_21440793-1.jpg

Andrew Wevers-USA TODAY Sports
“It’s critical. You got two coaches that came in with guys that they obviously trusted and had experience with. I don’t think you can put a price tag on that from the team aspect and building the culture in the beginning, which is really, really tough. … And then certainly offensively, we were able to get off to a decent start Year 1 offensively, and they’ve been able to obviously do the same and play very well. I think it’s a key part. He was smart enough to bring his son along with him, and he’s played at a high level.”

GENUINE​

Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports
“I’ve never met him. I don’t know him. But he seems to be very genuine in his approach. Everybody’s different. Everybody’s got different personalities. I think when you’re fake and try to be something you’re not, people see right through that. And regardless of what your characteristics are of your personality, if you’re yourself, you can be a great leader, and he certainly seems to do that, seems to be very genuine, and certainly his guys have responded.”

LIMITING BIG PLAYS​

“We’ve gotta do a good job of it every week. College football, that’s part of it and the way the game is played now, you’ve gotta try to limit those big plays. That’ll be very important. Defensively, we’re fortunate because we get to see some pretty good skill guys offensively every day that we compete against. We know this will be one of the more talented groups that we face in terms of opponents.”

EARLY KICK​

1654751222-1.jpg

Dustin Bradford/Getty Images
“There’s two sides of it. For the players, it’s the recovery side, being able to get the work and get the plan in and attack the areas that we have to improve on, and then getting the recovery in is probably the biggest thing. For the coaches, it’s a good thing we don’t have to play any snaps, but it’s kind of like playing on a short week for the coaches, and that’s OK. We made a few adjustments in our schedule kind of throughout the week to accommodate for that. We’re used to this.”

I do agree with the question about storming of the field tho

they won 1 game last yr they want a reason to celebrate anybody know how many games they won the year before?

It's a new day, baseball players able to celebrate without getting hit by a pitch never thought I'd see the day a player could show up a pitcher and not get thrown at

So much done changed like celebrating a single first down. I could see if it was a 3rd and long or off 4th down but mfers be celebrating a simple 1st down.

I don't understand celebrating a touchdown when u down double digits

Just don't get it but it is what it is

I call it a celebration of life in my ability, on every fcking snap I take as a young person, in this lifetime of a career not meant for the old.
