Title: "Ole Miss-Alabama ticket prices rise, prompt prohibited ID sales"

This from the Ole Miss student newspaper:

Quote
Matthew Cook, manager of ticket operations at the Ole Miss, said the struggle for finding a ticket is based on the amount of people wanting to attend the game.

“The main cause for the increase in ticket prices is supply and demand,” Cook said. “Ole Miss sold out of all tickets, so the only way to acquire tickets to this game was to use the secondary ticket market.”

The secondary ticket market includes online ticket sellers like StubHub and Ticket Network. Tickets on both sources have starting prices just above $200. This game in particular has tickets at the highest price of the season. Prices for this game are more than $80 over annual games such as homecoming and the Egg Bowl.

StubHub’s tickets are selling fast. The tickets selling for the lower amount, close to $200, are the seats in the north end zone and corner K. These are the sections that traditionally host the visiting team fans. Rebel fans will have to pay up towards $300 to $650 to be closer to the south end zone, near the student section. Seats in the actual south end zone are $650 to well over $1,000....

When you get there it'll look like it HAS collapsed.
There's a huge pit in the stadium parking lot, where they're building a new bb coliseum and parking garage.  It looks like Beruit now.  Quite a mess.

Going to look like this in a few years:
