Want to watch Shane Beamer’s South Carolina Gamecocks in action this fall? If so, be prepared to spend at least $35 for a single ticket — and that’s before Ticketmaster fees. As always, the actual cost of attending a game depends heavily on the opponent, location, and demand on the resale market.
The face value of tickets represents the original sale price offered by the Gamecock Club (for home games) or the host school (for away games). Typically, those tickets reflect seats in the upper deck. On the resale market, however, prices can skyrocket — or in some cases, dip below face value — depending on demand.
