2026 Egg Bowl Ticket Prices (Secondary Market)
Prices based on current early-bird resale listings and historical trends (resale marketplace listings – January 2026). Expect fluctuations as the season approaches.
2025 Game Pricing: For the 2025 Egg Bowl at Mississippi State, resale tickets started around $150–200 for upper-deck seats, with premium sideline options ranging from $400–800 depending on availability. With Ole Miss ranked No. 6 entering the game, demand was elevated, contributing to higher-than-average prices across most sections.
2024 Game Pricing: The 2024 matchup in Oxford saw strong demand with the average resale ticket price approaching $400–450. Entry-level upper-deck seats commonly started in the $175–225 range, while premium lower-bowl and club seats routinely reached $600–900. Both teams were bowl-eligible, driving increased demand across all seating areas.
Factors Affecting Prices:
- Team rankings – tickets are higher when either or both teams are ranked
- Purchase timing – the closer you buy to game day, the higher the prices
- Bowl eligibility implications – if either team needs a win to reach bowl eligibility, prices surge
- Senior Day – Ole Miss often schedules Senior Day for the Egg Bowl, adding emotional weight
- Weather – mild Thanksgiving weekend weather typically increases demand
Best Time to Buy: Historically, the best ticket prices are found 3-5 weeks before the game. Waiting until game week often results in 25-50% higher prices, while buying immediately when tickets are released may mean paying more than necessary.
Price Trends: Monitor secondary market prices starting in late September to identify the optimal buying window. If ticket prices are dropping, wait another week or two. If prices are climbing, secure your seats before they rise further.

About the Egg Bowl
The Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State has been played annually since 1901 (with few exceptions), making it one of college football’s longest-running rivalries. The game is officially called the Battle for the Golden Egg, with the winner receiving a trophy featuring a gold-plated football. The rivalry’s intensity reflects the deep cultural divide between Mississippi’s two flagship universities, with bragging rights meaning everything to fans across the state.
Historical Significance: Through 122 meetings, Ole Miss leads the official series 67-46-6. That record leaves out three results the NCAA later vacated (2012, 2014 and 2018) and credits Ole Miss with Mississippi State’s forfeited 1976 and 1977 wins. See every result. The rivalry has produced legendary moments, iconic finishes, and unforgettable celebrations (and controversies). Both programs have used Egg Bowl victories as season-defining wins.
2025 Result: No. 6 Ole Miss beat Mississippi State 38-19 at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville on November 28, 2025.
SEC Implications: As SEC West rivals (and now unified SEC members), the Egg Bowl often carries bowl eligibility implications or affects postseason positioning. The game’s placement at the end of the regular season heightens its importance.
The Golden Egg Trophy: The winner receives the Golden Egg, a gold-plated football mounted on a pedestal. The trophy has been awarded since 1927 and remains one of college football’s most distinctive rivalry trophies.
Venue Rotation: The Egg Bowl alternates between Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford and Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville. The 2026 game returns to Oxford.
