Demand for Alabama football tickets for the 2010 season will be high due to several factors. There are rarely any tickets available for home games in Tuscaloosa. Occasionally, the visiting team will send back unused tickets that can be purchased through the University of Alabama ticket office. The price of tickets on the secondary market will be high in 2010 due to the home schedule and because the team is coming off a national championship.

The 2009 football season was one that Alabama football fans will not soon forget. Alabama finished an undefeated season with a victory against the Texas Longhorns in the BCS Championship game. The win gave the Crimson Tide their thirteenth national championship. The Tide rolled through the season, beating Tennessee on a blocked field goal and big road victory at arch rival Auburn. Alabama traveled to Atlanta for the SEC Championship and dominated Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators.
