GEORGIA-AUBURN - 50¢ to get in at the first game (1892)

So what

The first Georgia–Auburn game cost 50 cents to get in. The whole gate that day: $800. Today's cheapest seat in Athens is $153, 306 times the 1892 ticket. 131 meetings later, the oldest rivalry in the Deep South got a lot more expensive.
