Mississippi State’s home date with Oklahoma is drawing a surprisingly soft market, with the cheapest way into Davis Wade Stadium dipping below $50 and plenty of seats still sitting in range for fans who wait.
The Sooners are set to visit Starkville on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network, and the resale numbers have moved around enough to make this one feel more accessible than a typical SEC matchup against a blue-blood program.
By Wednesday afternoon, TickPick was listing tickets starting at $44. Gametime showed seats from $45 before fees, while Vivid Seats and SeatGeek both had get-in prices of $49.
That cheaper entry point comes with the usual catch: once fans start chasing better views, the bill climbs quickly. On Monday, StubHub’s lowest upper-deck listing was $62, and lower-bowl seats began at $90. Those closer-to-the-field spots were still running around double the cheapest options.
The final price matters here, too. TickPick doesn’t add fees at checkout, which can make its number look better than a rival site that starts low but finishes higher once everything is added up. Seat location changes the equation as well, so the “best” deal depends on where a fan wants to sit and how much the total climbs at checkout.
Even with prices easing, the inventory is getting thinner. Vivid Seats showed only 4 percent of its tickets remaining, a sign that the cheaper listings are moving along.
If the game itself looks like a bargain, parking doesn’t. StubHub had parking passes listed at $48 Monday, meaning some fans could end up paying nearly as much to leave their car as to enter the stadium.
The Oklahoma game also lands in the middle of Mississippi State’s remaining home slate when compared with the rest of the schedule. Auburn’s visit on Nov. 14 is the pricier draw, opening at $54 on SeatGeek and $56 on Gametime. Vanderbilt on Nov. 7 starts at $35 on Gametime and $36 on SeatGeek, while FCS Tennessee Tech on Nov. 21 is the cheapest by a wide margin at $15 and $16.
That spread says plenty about how the market is sizing up Oklahoma, a 3-3 team that isn’t generating a huge buzz right now. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, don’t exactly have momentum working for them either. Mississippi State opened 4-0, then took disappointing losses to Alabama and LSU, and quarterback Kamario Taylor is day-to-day heading into the weekend.
Oklahoma’s own recent form has not helped. The Sooners have dropped three of their last five, including a home loss to Kentucky in which quarterback John Mateer threw three second-half interceptions.
Put all of that together and the result is a surprisingly friendly price tag for an SEC game. A $44 entry point for a 2:30 p.m. fall kickoff in Starkville is still easy enough to justify, especially for fans who want to be there when Mississippi State tries to stop a two-game skid.
For anyone hoping to see Jeff Lebby face his alma mater, the ticket might cost about the same as parking.

Todd Bates Just Gave Oklahoma Fans A Reason To Exhale
Todd Bates has been a steady part of Oklahomas defensive staff since 2022, and his latest comments should calm any nerves about his immediate future. The defensive tackles coach said he intends to stay put and keep focusing on his current job, rather than using this moment to chase a quicker climb up the coaching ladder. For a program that has leaned on continuity as it keeps building under Brent Venables, that matters.
Bates also pointed to his own growth working under Venables and to the defenses production up front during his time in Norman, with the Sooners making impact plays in tackles for loss and sacks. He still has bigger goals down the road, but for now the message was clear enough for Oklahoma fans: he sees value in staying in place and continuing to develop within the staff instead of looking for the next move right away.

Oklahomas 2026 Slide Just Hit An Uncomfortable New Low
Oklahomas 2026 season has drifted into an awkward place, and the latest sign came not on the field but in the TV listings. At 3-3 and staring at a slim path back to the College Football Playoff, the Sooners are now finding their games parked on SEC Network instead of the bigger ESPN platforms that usually come with national relevance and higher stakes. It is a small detail on paper, but in a season already defined by inconsistency, it says plenty about where the program sits right now.
The loss to Kentucky only sharpened the concern, and the next stop offers little relief beyond a chance to steady things against Mississippi State, another team searching for traction. Even beyond that, the schedule does not suggest much of a national spotlight returning anytime soon, with future matchups pointing toward the same lower-tier exposure. For a program used to being part of the broader playoff conversation, the present reality is a lot less comfortable than anyone around Oklahoma would have expected. [Read more 🡒]
Sooners Offense Showed Promise But One Problem Still Looms
Oklahomas offense finally flashed some of the rhythm and pace the Sooners have been chasing this season against Kentucky, a welcome sign for a unit that has spent much of the year searching for consistency. The bigger picture still looks shaky, though, with turnovers and injuries repeatedly interrupting any momentum and the overall production lagging far behind what the program needs as the schedule wears on.
Mississippi State is next, and it offers another chance for the Sooners to build on what worked and get healthier in the process. Even with the offensive issues, Oklahoma has been able to lean on a defense that has held up well, especially against the pass, but the question now is whether the return of injured players can help the offense catch up before the margin for error gets even smaller.
