About

Fair-Weather Seats tracks college football season-ticket resale at the level of the individual seat. Every day during the season we record which seats at each stadium are listed for resale, and at what asking price, for every remaining home game. Every snapshot is kept, so the record grows over the season.

The question we set out to answer is one season-ticket holders ask about the seats around them. Which ones are back on the resale market game after game?

The Fair-Weather Poll

The poll ranks stadiums by how often the same seats are listed for more than one home game. Listing a seat once is ordinary resale and doesn't count. Each additional game the same seat is listed for is a repeat listing, and the rating is the share of all possible repeat listings that actually happened.

Open any stadium to see its map. Sections are shaded by how many of their seats keep coming back, and you can select a section to see every seat, which games it was listed for, and the asking prices.

Other ways we rank stadiums

Below the poll we track a few things that move day to day. How much of the stadium is on the market for the next home game, which next game is priciest by median asking price, where the cheapest seat in the league is, and how many seats were added since yesterday.

We also measure the price swing after a team plays. For every remaining home game we compare the median asking price on the last day before the team's most recent game with the most recent day after it, then average across those games. Game results come from ESPN's public college football data, so the swing is labeled with the win or loss that preceded it.

What the data means

Listed means an asking price was visible on a public marketplace when we checked. It does not mean the ticket sold. A listing that disappears may have sold, been withdrawn, or moved somewhere else. We show what we observed and don't guess beyond it.

Some repeat listings come from ticket brokers or other large sellers rather than individual season-ticket holders. The data can't tell those apart.

Stadiums we track

Texas A&M, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee for the 2026 season, with more to come.

What we don't do

We never publish names, account details, or any personal information about who owns or sells a seat. The site is about seats and listings, not people. Fair-Weather Seats is not affiliated with any university, athletic department, or ticket marketplace.

Sponsoring a stadium

Adding a school costs money, because every seat we watch is a paid call to a ticket-data provider. Readers can sponsor the school they want tracked, and that pays for its data for the season.

Sponsorship changes nothing about the numbers. It does not move a school in the poll, it does not hide anything, and a sponsored stadium is measured exactly like every other one. Sponsors are credited by name on their stadium's page and nowhere else.
