The cheapest way into Colorado’s homecoming game against Texas Tech has dropped again, even with all the ingredients that usually push prices the other direction.
Saturday’s matchup at Folsom Field carries a 5:30 p.m. MT kickoff on FOX, a Black & Gold Stripe Out, Homecoming, and the university’s 150th anniversary celebration.
On top of that, the opponent is No. 12 Texas Tech, the defending 2025 Big 12 champion, making this one of the bigger games left on Colorado’s home schedule.
Still, the lowest resale listings have come down as kickoff gets closer.
As of Wednesday, Sept. 30, SeatGeek showed tickets starting at $68.
TickPick listed a $76 get-in price with no service fees. Those figures are only snapshots, but both are noticeably lower than where the market sat just two days earlier.
On Sept. 29, Colorado On SI found SeatGeek opening at $109 and TickPick around $101 for the same game. That means SeatGeek’s low end has fallen $41 from that point, while TickPick’s displayed get-in price is down $25.
Texas Tech is bringing a 4-0 record, an AP ranking of No. 12, and plenty of attention into Boulder. It’s also the Red Raiders’ first trip to Boulder since 2010. Even with that backdrop, the bottom of the resale market has softened.
The shift is even more notable because the earlier Sept. 29 prices still made this look like one of Colorado’s pricier remaining home games. Now, the cheapest SeatGeek listing is under $70. Ticket markets can swing fast, but that kind of drop stands out.
Colorado comes home at 2-2 after back-to-back losses to Northwestern and Baylor. The price movement doesn’t point to one clean explanation; resale numbers can change based on inventory, seat location, demand, and timing.
There’s still a wide range for buyers to sort through. TickPick listed 3,394 tickets for Colorado-Texas Tech on its current Texas Tech page. The average ticket price there was $230.89, and the most expensive listing was $1,836.
That’s the real split in this market. Fans just looking for a way in are finding a much friendlier entry point than anyone chasing better seats.
Inside the building, the message hasn’t changed. Wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. called Texas Tech “a great opportunity” when he spoke with reporters Tuesday.
“They’re a really good team, a ranked opponent,” Moore said. “So we got to put our best foot forward and go out there and do what we know how to do.”
He kept the focus simple when asked about the challenge ahead.
“It's another home game, so we got to protect the house first and foremost,” Moore said.
With resale prices still moving, the market could shift again before Saturday’s kickoff.

Deion Sanders Puts Pressure On Colorado Before Texas Tech Test
Deion Sanders spent part of his latest press conference doing what he has often done in Boulder this season, putting the spotlight squarely on execution. Colorado has been uneven on third and fourth down, and Sanders made clear the issue is less about the design of the offense than the need for players to finish plays, while also defending Brennan Marions system as the Buffaloes prepare for Texas Tech.
Sanders broadened the message beyond one area, pointing to the running game, turnovers, field position, special teams and penalties as parts of the operation that need to sharpen up. He said the effort was there against Baylor, but effort only goes so far if it does not turn into points and wins, and that makes the Texas Tech matchup another measuring stick for a team still trying to put its best football together.

DeAndre Moore Jr. Revealed What Colorado Showed After His Scary Hit
DeAndre Moore Jr.s collision against Baylor briefly turned a routine Saturday into one of those moments that makes the whole sideline hold its breath. The Colorado receiver did regain consciousness and, in a scene that said plenty about both his toughness and the situation, walked off the field without needing a cart. His teammates made sure he knew they were behind him, and Deion Sanders later said Moore was kept out of practice afterward but is expected to be available for the Texas Tech game.
Moores update afterward fit the tone Colorado has tried to strike through the season: shaken by the scare, but not defined by it. He spoke with optimism about where the Buffaloes are headed and stressed how important it is to protect their home field, a reminder that even amid injury concerns, the focus remains on finishing strong. For Colorado, the immediate concern was health, but the broader message was just as clear - the locker room is still very much invested in the stretch ahead. [Read more 🡒]
Colorados Defensive Front Has A Problem Baylor Fans Already Recognize
Dante Carter is already seeing the early-season lesson that comes with rebuilding a defensive line from scratch: practice can only take a front so far once the crowd gets loud and the game starts speeding up. In his first season as Colorados defensive line coach, Carter has talked about the gap between routine reps and the pressure of real moments, stressing that players have to be trained for sudden changes as much as they are coached on technique.
Thats why the next test feels especially relevant for a group still learning each other on the fly. After a recent game situation against Baylor showed how quickly things can tilt, Colorados revamped front now heads into a matchup with Texas Tech with more than scheme on the line. For Carter, the challenge is not just building depth and chemistry, but getting his players comfortable when the moment stops looking like practice. [Read more 🡒]
