Trip to Auburn Next Year
- Thread starter 4INSBU
- Start date
Started looking yesterday but only on hotels.com. Nothing in Auburn which I surmise might be smaller than State College. Look east towards Georgia.
Theirplaying cottage stadium only holds 85K. So probably not a great chance of PSU getting a big allotment of tickets.

I’m planning to go to the game next year. My wife has a little while to decide whether she wants to go with me, or I’ll find a buddy that wants to go. I’ll just try to buy tickets on the secondary market.
Thinking about it. Not sure after attending three to four road games this year. The problem with going to Auburn is getting there. Looking at two flights and a drive from Reagan.
Hour and 30 minutes from Atlanta airport with a straight shot on 85S. Very straightforward. If a night game you could fly in the day of if that is your preference. You also could stay around the Atlanta airport after the game for an easy getaway Sunday.
I plan on attending. It is only a 135 miles from my house.
School visits??? I'm confused - You know that the game is not at Penn State, right?
Probably best to look toward Lagrange Ga or a little further up 185 toward ATL unless you can get a flight into Montgomery. Columbus Ga has lots of rooms because of Ft Benning but nothing great and it’s out of the way and there’s poor highway between the two towns.
I don't think Penn State would give Auburn an allotment that wasn't matched on the return trip. Curious how much we gave Auburn... 6k? They definitely had over half the north upper deck and that seats 10k... looks like they also had a small chunk of the chairbacks in the upper south end as well.
Not sure Auburn fans will sell their tickets like obviously many PSU fans did.

I'd say about 2,000 of the 80,000 seats (minus student and visiting team sections) were sold to Auburn fans in the secondary market. Considering tickets were going for 200-400 bucks, that's not too bad IMHO. You can't get mad at people for getting half of what their season tickets cost for 1 game.
We'll see how well we travel next season. Given how the game in Happy Valley went this season, I'd imagine we travel just as well in 2022.
Sell your tickets to PSU fans and not on the secondary market. Pretty simple.
Nothing wrong with a few thousand extra Auburn fans taking in the environment, when there's 109,000 folks in attendance.
It was still an incredible home field advantage, I enjoyed meeting the Auburn fans ... can't wait for the return trip next year.
I believe Auburn fans bought a substantial amount of our season ticket holder pimps resale tickets on ticketmaster for hefty prices.
Yeah but those were not the allotment. The allotment sold out. The others were PSU fans giving up the tix to people who were willing to pay top $ for it.

My son is currently attending auburn. Hard to get rooms in walking distance of campus for visitors. I have had success booking hotels within a 10 minute drive on 85 (including Georgia game in October). Atlanta airport is 75-90 minutes away which is not bad. Also Columbus, GA has an airport and is about 40 miles from campus. Since my son has been there almost every September game has been a night game. Still very hot and humid that time of year. Like PSU, traffic after games can be bad leaving although nothing like we saw this past weekend at psu. College town with downtown much smaller than state college but stadium is in middle of campus and a 5 minute walk to Toomers Corner (the main area of town). Great environment.
I don’t think that most have opened up yet. Like I said in an earlier thread, I’d look up Lake Martin for VRBO or Stillwater’s on Lake Martin. (45 minutes to an hour). Huge, beautiful lake with golf, great fishing, boat rental, etc…Auburn University Hotel is very nice and close (tough to get in). The Marriott Grand National (RTJ Golf) is nice. Has a shuttle (20 minute) to campus. There are several “decent” hotels that are reasonably close. I wouldn’t venture out of the Auburn area until the last minute, as those rooms are always available. Columbus is a shithole. All of the different Marriott properties are pretty good. Traffic is like any other small town, big game day. Not unmanageable at all though. Get there reasonably early and you can find parking on the outskirts of the campus. $20-$25. (15 minute walk). Get to the game early and watch the Eagle fly, it’ll make the hairs on your arms rise. I’ll reach out next fall with tailgate, activities. War Damn…
I’ve stayed just east in Opelika. Several new chain hotels close to the highway.
Yep....PSU allows the season ticket holders to buy up all of the single game tickets to pimp out and pay for their season tickets, so expect this to continue for any big game.
i just booked in Columbus as a back up. If some other options don't work out, this is the back up plan. At least its a decent hotel.
@Kellerdog, I see you think about Columbus Ga the way we think of Columbus OH.

I’m originally from Richmond, In., its only 80 miles from Cbus. No one hates tO$U as much as me.i just booked in Columbus as a back up. If some other options don't work out, this is the back up plan. At least its a decent hotel.
