Florida Football Opener vs. Miami: Tickets Sold Out, Secondary Market Prices Soar
Introduction
Although tickets for Florida football’s August 31 opener versus No. 19 Miami have been declared sold out, some are still available on secondary markets. The Gators and Hurricanes will square off for the first time since Florida defeated Miami 24–20 in Camping World Stadium in Orlando to start the 2019 season.
History you should know
Miami has a 29-27 series edge overall, but the two universities last met annually in 1987. In a Sugar Bowl match that was well reported for its preceding violence on Bourbon Street, Miami defeated Florida 27–20 in 2001.
2008 saw the Gators get some revenge, defeating Miami 26-3 at The Swamp to start their ascent to their third national championship in school history and their second under head coach Urban Meyer. Under third-year coaches, Florida and Miami are two teams hoping to gain momentum. Under head coach Billy Napier, the Gators have finished 11–14 in their first two seasons, while Miami has completed 12–13 under head coach Mario Cristobal.
Tickets on StubHub, Seat Geek, and Vivid Seats range from $140 to $1,300 for Florida vs. Miami at The Swamp. The bottom bowl costs between $300 and $1,300 on all three sites.
