Austin gets one of the biggest college football games of the entire season Saturday night when No. 1 Ohio State visits No. 4 Texas at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The Buckeyes are the defending national champions, but the Longhorns get this heavyweight matchup at home, with Arch Manning leading a Texas team that has every reason to believe it can make a championship run of its own.
For Texas fans, this is the kind of game that makes last-minute tickets worth checking out. Matchups like this do not come around often, with the No. 1 team in the country, a top-five Longhorns squad, and one of the biggest names in college football all sharing the same field in Austin. Texas is a slight favorite heading into this one, and the atmosphere should match the stakes from the moment fans start filling DKR. If the Longhorns are going to make an early-season statement, doing it against Ohio State in front of a packed home crowd would be about as big as it gets.
The biggest college football game of the week kicks off at 6:30 p.m. CDT tomorrow night, and fans here in town can still snag some last-minute tickets at StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats.
As easily the biggest marquee matchup of the week — if not the entire regular season — tickets for the Texas vs Ohio State game aren’t exactly cheap. That said, you can still find some solid deals from ticket resellers the day before the game. At the time of writing, the cheapest tickets we’ve found are this pair in row 49 of Upper Level 103 for $443 each at Vivid Seats. For just $5 more per ticket, you can get these tickets from SeatGeek in Section 116, row 10, and the platform lists them as a perfect 10/10 ticket deal.
If you want to sit a little closer to the action, StubHub has two tickets in Section 31, row 52, for $791 each, offering much better views of the action. For Texas fans wanting to be as close to the game as possible, however, you can’t beat this pair of tickets at SeatGeek. These seats are $2,412 each, but they’ll put you in the front row right behind the Texas sideline at the 50-yard line. For a game this big, these are once-in-a-lifetime seats for Longhorns fans.
