Colorado fans headed to Waco for the Buffaloes’ Big 12 opener against Baylor are finding a ticket market that looks a whole lot friendlier than the one they faced last time out.
This matchup, which will be televised nationally on ESPN2, opens league play for both teams and comes with Baylor staging the game as a throwback event, complete with different game-day elements. On the resale market, that has translated into a spread of prices that gives fans plenty of ways in.
Right now, the cheapest tickets can be found in the roughly $17 to $43 range, depending on the marketplace and the specific listing. That’s a far cry from Colorado’s game against Northwestern, which carried the most expensive tickets in college football this season. This time, fans do not need to spend hundreds just to get through the gate.
The official Baylor ticket marketplace is also listing seats for the game, with prices that can shift based on inventory and location. The event page notes that special pricing may be available as well.
Secondary options are showing similar flexibility. TickPick has listed get-in prices around $29, while another TickPick listing for Colorado tickets starts around $38.
StubHub, meanwhile, has Colorado at Baylor tickets beginning at about $42 apiece, with several options in the $60-to-$75 range. Those listings include general-admission tickets and seats throughout McLane Stadium, along with lower-end-zone and upper-sideline spots.
Average resale pricing sits much higher than the cheapest entry points, landing roughly in the $135-to-$172 range. Even so, there are still seats below that level for fans willing to work the market and look beyond the premium sections.
Location is doing most of the heavy lifting on price. Better views, lower rows and seats closer to midfield are costing more, while upper-level and general-admission tickets remain the more budget-friendly path. And with the game still approaching, those prices can still swing either way depending on demand and inventory.
Colorado comes in at 2-1 after beating Georgia Tech and Weber State before the 41-7 loss to Northwestern. Baylor is also 2-1 and will have home-field advantage at McLane Stadium.
For Buffaloes fans thinking about making the trip, the current market says this one is accessible. Some platforms have tickets well under $50, while the more desirable seats will cost more. Buyers should also keep an eye on whether listed prices include fees, since that can change the real final number.

Baylor Is Battling Heavyweights For A Texas Athlete Bears Fans Should Watch
Brayden Arnold is already drawing attention well before the end of his high school career, and Baylor is among the programs keeping close tabs on the Duncanville, Texas, defensive back-athlete. A four-star prospect in the 2028 recruiting class, Arnold has trimmed his list to eight schools, a sign that his recruitment is beginning to sharpen even with his junior and senior seasons still ahead.
The Bears are battling a crowded field for a player who has flashed rare athletic traits for his age, including a 40.1-inch vertical jump and a 100-meter time of 11.78 seconds. Ranked No. 357 in the class by 247Sports Composite, Arnold remains undecided for now, but Baylor has positioned itself in the mix for one of the states more intriguing young prospects. [Read more 🡒]
Nate Bennett Is Starting To Show Why Baylor's Chemistry Matters
After Baylors win over Louisiana Tech, the postgame spotlight landed on quarterback Nate Bennett and receiver Louis Brown IV, who both spent time talking through the Bears performance and the way the group is coming together. Bennett didnt try to dress up his own outing, instead acknowledging there are still parts of his game he needs to clean up, while also pointing to the bigger picture of a team that is learning how to function as one.
Brown, meanwhile, used the opportunity to highlight the progress of Jayden McGowan and the kind of presence he has become in the offense. For Baylor, those kinds of comments matter because they speak to something beyond one good afternoon: a locker room still settling into roles, but one that seems to understand how chemistry can raise the floor when the season starts asking tougher questions.

Baylors Colorado Plan Suddenly Hinges On One Huge DJ Lagway Question
Baylors preparation for Colorado took a welcome turn when Dave Aranda said starting quarterback DJ Lagway and several other injured players are expected back for the matchup. Lagway has been cleared to play and, by all indications, is feeling good, which matters because Baylor has been waiting to see how much of its offense it can truly lean on with its top quarterback available again. The return of Jadon Porter, Devin Turner and Logan Moore adds to the sense that the Bears are finally getting healthier at the right time.
The bigger question now is how much Lagways ankle will affect what Baylor can do once the game kicks off. Arandas optimism suggests the staff believes the injury should not restrict the play-calling, but until Lagway is back on the field against Colorado, there is still some uncertainty about just how close he is to full strength. For a Baylor team looking to reset its rhythm, that answer could shape the entire night. [Read more 🡒]
