The University of Alabama has warned fans to be careful about counterfeit tickets ahead of Saturday night’s home game against Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium. With demand high for the sellout crowd, the message is simple: check your ticket before you arrive, and make sure it comes through an authorized source.
That warning matters for anyone following the Alabama football roster and planning to be inside Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night. The university says tickets can be verified through the UA Athletic Ticket Office at Coleman Coliseum from Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where fans can verify tickets
For supporters who want to confirm a ticket is valid before gameday, the UA Athletic Ticket Office at Coleman Coliseum is the place to go during the week. That gives fans a clear route to check tickets bought through unofficial sources before they make the trip to Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The university also has a gameday option. Beginning at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, officials can verify tickets at Gate 16 and Gate 43 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. That should help fans avoid the disappointment of turning up at the stadium with a ticket that cannot be used.
Why the warning matters
The concern is not just inconvenience. It is the risk that a stolen or counterfeit ticket will not get a fan into the game at all. In a sellout setting, the safest approach is to use the one primary authorized ticket outlet and the authorized secondary marketplace identified by the university, rather than relying on unofficial sources.
For Alabama, this is a straightforward reminder ahead of a major home game: if you are buying or checking a ticket, do it the right way. The Alabama football roster will draw attention on the field, but the university wants fans focused on getting inside the stadium without a problem at the gate.
For those heading to Saturday night's game, the message is clear. Verify early if you can, use the official routes, and avoid the risk of being turned away at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
