South Carolina’s games in 2022 — at home and on the road — vary in notoriety. Some rivalry games are on deck, with other annual dates such as homecoming and family weekend on the schedule.

Want to buy a ticket? Each game varies both in base values and resale prices, with the latter greatly affected by supply and demand.

We’ll take a look here at the lowest prices for the face value of a regular ticket as sold by the home school for each game. In the case of Williams-Brice Stadium, face value typically represents an upper bowl seat.

Here is the order of games on USC’s schedule, from least to most expensive according to base prices:.

Sept. 10: at Arkansas, $30

Tickets for South Carolina’s matchup against the SEC West Razorbacks start at $30 for an “upper level corner” seat, making it the cheapest game on the Gamecocks’ schedule. Most seats in the upper deck at Reynolds Razorback Stadium are $55 each. Tickets on the resale market are available for as low as $9, but most are in the $100 to $200 range in the upper level. USC last played Arkansas in 2017, with the Gamecocks winning 48-22.

Sept. 3: vs. Georgia State, $40

The Gamecocks’ season opener comes against Georgia State of the Sun Belt Conference, and will kick off at night. It’s one of three nonconference home games. The game was officially announced as a sellout. Resale tickets via Ticketmaster Exchange are available for between $80 and $300.

The Gamecocks have a 2022 road trip against Florida. The game has a few tickets going for more than $1,000 on resale behind the Florida bench.

Oct. 22: vs. Texas A&M, $70

South Carolina’s home game vs. the Aggies is also Teacher Appreciation Day, with some tickets being sold at a discounted price of $30.
