Western Kentucky
The lowest-priced tickets begin at around $20 for the game that will be Kalen DeBoer’s regular season debut as UA’s football coach. The Alabama-Western Kentucky game is set to kick off at 6 p.m. Aug. 31 at Bryant-Denny Stadium with ESPN televising.

UA’s SEC opener against the Georgia Bulldogs figures to be the toughest home game ticket of 2024. Tickets start at just under $300, with the best seats going for $700 to nearly $1,000.

The Alabama-Georgia game is set for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff Sept. 28 at Bryant-Denny Stadium with ABC televising.
Vanderbilt
Alabama will play two games in the state of Tennessee this season, with the first against the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville. Ticket prices begin at around $130.
