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.

Ole Miss Hit With NCAA Penalties As Chris Beard Avoids Fallout
Ole Miss basketball is dealing with the consequences of a tampering case tied to former assistant coach Wes Flanigan, with the NCAA saying the program committed both Level I and Level II violations. The penalties are real and immediate for the Rebels: two years of probation, a $455,000 fine, recruiting restrictions and additional sanctions that will linger well beyond the paperwork.
For Chris Beard, the ruling brought a different outcome. The NCAA did not penalize the Ole Miss coach because it determined he was not involved and not aware of the violations, leaving the program to absorb the fallout without touching its current head coach. Flanigan, meanwhile, drew a one-year show-cause order and a two-game suspension, a reminder that the case is not just about institutional penalties but also about the individuals tied to the conduct.

Ole Miss Faces A Huge Opening In Texas' Defense
No. 7 Ole Miss heads into its Oct. 24 SEC matchup with No. 18 Texas knowing the Longhorns defensive front could look different than usual. Texas star defensive end Colin Simmons is dealing with an injury, and his status is one of the biggest storylines hanging over a game that already carries plenty of weight for both teams. The latest injury reports on both sides add another layer to what should be one of the weeks most watched matchups.
For Ole Miss, the timing matters because this trip comes with the Rebels trying to measure themselves against a ranked opponent and a defense that usually sets the tone early. A possible absence up front would force Texas to adjust its pass rush and could shift the way the game is played on both sides of the ball, especially with key player matchups and recent performances already under the microscope. By kickoff, the conversation could be less about the ranking and more about how much Texas has left on the edge. [Read more 🡒]
Ole Miss Offense Has Carried This Start But One Test Awaits
Six games into the 2026 season, Ole Miss has built a 5-1 start and climbed to No. 7 in the AP Poll on the strength of an offense that has looked increasingly hard to slow down. Trinidad Chambliss has been central to that surge, piling up more than 1,800 total yards and 20 touchdowns, while Kewan Lacys return from injury has given the Rebels another needed piece in the backfield. The offensive line has done its part too, keeping Chambliss upright and helping the attack find a better rhythm on the ground in recent weeks.
What has made Ole Miss so dangerous is how the pieces have started to fit together at the same time, with the passing game and rushing attack both carrying real weight. The one lingering question is how this offense will hold up when it runs into a defense that can match its pace, pressure its quarterback, and force it out of the comfortable script it has enjoyed so far.
