Top 2014 Oklahoma Sooners Football Tickets Preview

The Oklahoma Sooners have become the model of consistency for modern day college football under Bob Stoops. Since taking over as the head ball coach in 1999 for Oklahoma the Sooners have gone an outstanding 160-39 (.804) with 14 bowl appearances, nine of which being BCS bowl, nine Big XII Championships as well as a National Championship. By all accounts the Oklahoma Sooners had one of their most successful seasons under Bob Stoops in 2013.

Last season the Sooners had some marquee victories including beating #10 Texas Tech, #22 Notre Dame as well as rival #6 Oklahoma State in the final game of the season. By beating the Cowboys in the Bedlam Game the Sooners were able to clinch the Big XII Championship and earn a berth in the Sugar Bowl where they beat heavily favored #3 Alabama 45-31 at the Mercedes Benz Superdome to finish the year sixth in the AP Top 25.

With so much promise following their strong finish in 2013 the Sooners head into their upcoming campaign as the preseason #3 team in all of college football. As a result of this there are higher expectations for this Oklahoma Sooners squad led by returning quarterback Trevor Knight and consequently higher ticket prices. According to Best Tickets the Oklahoma football tickets are averaging $172.49 for their home contests at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for the 2014 season. This is up over 40% from a season ago when Sooners tickets averaged $122, which somehow is actually still cheaper than even their lowest priced game in 2014 against the Kansas Jayhawks which is going for $130.

On the other end of the spectrum the Sooners highest priced game in Norman will be the Bedlam Game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Once again this game will come in the regular season finale wherein the Cowboys will look to avenge for last season defeat which kept them out of a BCS Bowl, relegating them to the Cotton Bowl where they lost to Missouri as Cotton Bowl tickets averaged $120. When these two teams meet on December 6th fans can expect for Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State football tickets to be in the range of $279, a total of 61% higher than their home average for 2014.

With as big of a game as that is, there is one game that is more important than any other and is circled on the Sooners calendars from the start of the season; the Red River Rivalry. Each year this game is played at the neutral site of the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and is the most expensive game that the Sooner will play in this upcoming season as when they play the Texas Longhorns football tickets are going for $518 on average with a Get-in price of $203. With so much potential the 2014 Oklahoma Sooners should be in the running for the College Football Playoff and a chance at a National Championship.
