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.

Deion Sanders Is Already Facing A Colorado Problem Fans Will Hate
The mood around Colorado has shifted quickly after the 41-7 loss to Northwestern, and Deion Sanders wasted little time addressing what bothered him most. Beyond the scoreboard, Sanders said he was furious with the way his players carried themselves afterward, calling out the laughing and joking he saw after a blowout that dropped the Buffaloes to 2-1.
As the team turns toward Big 12 play, the frustration is about more than one bad afternoon. Sanders has already made it clear he wants a sharper standard in how Colorado responds to adversity, and the coming weeks will show whether that message lands before the conference schedule starts to pile on the pressure.

Colorado's Northwestern Disaster Exposed A Problem Buffs Fans Can't Ignore
Saturdays 41-7 loss to Northwestern gave Colorado far more to sort through than a bad final score. The Buffaloes were outplayed in the most basic parts of the game, from tackling to defensive execution to the overall edge they brought to the field, and the result was a performance that left little room for excuses. Northwestern controlled the line of scrimmage on the ground and found plenty of room after the catch, while Colorado spent much of the afternoon chasing the game.
The larger concern for the Buffaloes is that the on-field issues came with an ugly off-field moment attached. A video of linebacker Tyler Martinez making disparaging remarks about the opposing stadium quickly made the rounds, adding another layer of unwanted attention to a loss already heavy on the field. For a team trying to establish consistency and credibility, it was the kind of afternoon that raises questions well beyond one bad September result. [Read more 🡒]
Colorado Kept Making The Same Costly Mistakes In Ugly Loss
Colorado came out with enough early energy to suggest it might make a game of it against Northwestern, but the promise faded quickly once the mistakes started piling up. Turnovers and penalties kept undercutting any rhythm on offense, and what could have been a competitive opening stretch instead turned into a lopsided afternoon as the Buffaloes repeatedly squandered chances to build momentum.
Aidan Chiles and the Wildcats made sure those missed opportunities mattered. Chiles completed 16 of 19 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns as Northwestern seized control with a 21-0 halftime lead, and Colorado never found a way to recover from the self-inflicted damage. The Buffaloes showed flashes early, but the same costly errors kept showing up, leaving them with an ugly 41-7 loss and plenty to clean up. [Read more 🡒]
