Ticket prices soar as Kentucky prepares to play No. 1 Georgia. Check out these rates

As the University of Kentucky’s football team prepares for perhaps its biggest regular season game of the year, ticket prices are through the roof.

The No. 20 Wildcats will head to Athens on Saturday to face No. 1-ranked University of Georgia. Kentucky enters the highly anticipated showdown after defeating No. 22 Florida 33-14 Sept. 30, while the Bulldogs narrowly defeated Auburn 27-20.

The matchup between these two undefeated SEC foes will draw a nationally televised broadcast from ESPN, but the biggest fans might hope to travel to Georgia and catch the game from Sanford Stadium. If a road trip to the defending national champions’ turf is calling your name, options are available thanks to an expansive (and expensive) price range.
