Colorado Fans Face A Tougher Price To See Texas Tech

Despite high demand driven by festivities and a top-ranked opponent, ticket prices for Colorado's showdown with Texas Tech reveal a notable shift compared to other home games this season.

Colorado’s home date with Texas Tech is landing in a pretty pricey spot on the market.

Fans hoping to get into Folsom Field for the Big 12 matchup are seeing secondary-market tickets start around the $100 range, with current listings sitting near $101 on TickPick and $109 on SeatGeek. Colorado’s official ticketing site has single-game tickets for the game starting around $131, while the Buffaloes website shows prices ranging from $100 to $303.

That makes the Red Raiders game one of the more expensive remaining home tickets on Colorado’s schedule, though not the priciest. Utah’s Oct. 17 visit is currently the most expensive of the bunch on SeatGeek, with tickets starting at $144. By contrast, Kansas State on Oct. 31 begins around $96, and the Houston and UCF games are both much easier on the wallet, each starting around $63.

The gap isn’t hard to explain. Texas Tech comes in ranked No. 11, and the game is set for a Saturday evening at Folsom Field. Colorado is also pairing the matchup with Homecoming and Stripe Out festivities, which the university has highlighted as part of its 2026 home schedule.

That combination tends to push demand - and resale prices - upward.

Of course, the cheapest listings only tell part of the story. The price fans actually pay can climb fast depending on where the seat is, with section, row and location all driving the number higher. Better seats will cost more, and prices can shift as the week goes on.

The bottom line is simple: if you want the cheapest possible entry into this one, plan on spending roughly $100 or more right now. If you want a better view, expect the market to climb well beyond that. For a ranked Big 12 opponent in Boulder, the current numbers show fans are paying a premium compared with several other Colorado home games - even if Texas Tech still isn’t the top-priced date on the slate.

Texas Tech Captain Sends Clear Message Before Colorado Test

After Texas Techs 49-14 win over Sam Houston State, captain Ben Roberts made it clear the Red Raiders are already shifting their attention to the bigger test ahead. The linebacker said the challenge now is making sure what shows up in practice carries over when the games count, with film study and preparation at the center of that push as Colorado comes into focus.

Roberts also pointed to teammate Brock Golwas as part of the reason the defense has been able to settle in, and he noted his own role on that side of the ball this season. For a Texas Tech team looking to build on a sharp opening performance, the next step is less about what the tape looked like in practice and more about whether that standard can survive the jump into conference-level pressure.

Baylor Hit Still Looms As Colorado Waits On Key Receiver

DeAndre Moore Jr. left the Baylor game after taking a hard hit and created an uneasy sideline moment for Colorado, choosing to walk off under his own power rather than be carted away. He did not return, and the scene was enough to rattle teammates in the moment as he later described their reaction to the injury. Moore also said he remains optimistic about the season even after the recent losses.

There has been no official diagnosis, and his status for the upcoming matchup has not been updated, leaving one of the Buffs' key receiver situations hanging as game week approaches. For a team trying to steady itself, the uncertainty around Moore is now one more thing to monitor. [Read more 🡒]
