I need to know what time some of you think people will be selling tickets on the street tomorrow. I'm just not sure what time would be reasonable to expect folks to be out there. Thanks a million for any help.

I expect $100/ticket except for professional scalpers who will be in the $125-$150. Ebay prices are ALWAYS higher than prices at the game for college football, so expect something at least 20% less than what you see on ebay right now. I'm also planning to scalp at the game and don't think it will be a problem to find them for $100 or less.
 
That's some information I needed, so thanks - but I also need to know what time to show up to find a scalper before they're all cleaned out.

Oh, looks like I am illiterate, my bad. They'll be out in full force all afternoon, but your best bet is next to the stadium one hour before game time. I'm basing this on one game (Auburn 03) but the people were selling them for much less because the folks who were attending the game and had extras just wanted to get rid of them so they could get into the stadium. Also, with tailgating starting so early, you might find that other people's alcohol consumption helps you get a discount on the tickets.
 
One thing you can also do that I've found pretty helpful is checking eBay in the AM. Sometimes, people will have their phone numbers listed on auctions. If they're really desperate to dump the tickets and haven't done so yet (they may have had the auctions priced too high) they'll get rid of them for less than what they were asking.

Aside from that, you can always walk from tailgate to tailgate seeing if people have any. Best bet will probably be pro scalpers, though.
 
You might also be very wary of where you are related to to BDS and those scalpers who might actually be Atlanta POlice as it is illegal within a certain distance of the stadium. It's no fun listening to the game on radio from a jail cell.
 
What is the distance? I don't feel like talking to any of the boys in blue tomorrow.

Good bet is up by the corner of 75/85 and North! not on the bridge over 75/85 but on the corner by the exit ramp.

So the guys next to the Varsity and such should be fine?

YEP! The corner I suggested is the best bet but tryem both! The corner is where when I need extra tickets I usually get them.
 
there's usually a gaggle of them in the area when you are leaving the Student Center and headed towards Grant Field.
