Florida football vs UGA remains hot ticket despite increased prices

The Florida football - Georgia rivalry will begin the first of a two-year hiatus from Jacksonville when the two teams play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday, October 31 (3:30 p.m., ABC). The Atlanta Gridiron Classic border war game between the Florida Gators and Bulldogs was moved from Jacksonville due to a $1.4 billion major renovation project being done on EverBank Stadium for the Jacksonville Jaguars. It will be played in 2027 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa before returning to Jacksonville in 2028. The move to Atlanta resulted in increased face value ticket prices for consumers, which were set by both schools, according to a memorandum of understanding obtained by the Athens Banner-Herald . Non-suite ticket prices at EverBank Stadium ranged from $150-200 in 2025, whereas ticket prices at Mercedez-Benz Stadium are ranged from $155 in the upper level to $365 in the lower bowl. Despite the higher prices, Florida spokesman Scott Burns said UF sold out its allotment of 29,071 tickets by late August. Falcons personal seat license ticket holders also got tickets, which subtracted from the 50-50 split between UF and Georgia at the 75,000-seat domed stadium.
