From the first scramble on the mat to the final hand raise under the lights, the Southern Scuffle delivers two days of nonstop NCAA folkstyle intensity—multiple mats running at once, deep brackets, and a finals session that feels like a true championship stage. Whether you’ve followed it for years or you’re planning your first one, Southern Scuffle tickets put you inside one of college wrestling’s most demanding midseason tests.
This page covers everything you need — from understanding how Southern Scuffle works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.
The Southern Scuffle is an annual NCAA Division I collegiate wrestling tournament typically held January 1–2 around New Year’s, hosted by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga at McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, Tennessee. First held in 2003, the event has become a holiday fixture for college wrestling fans and is widely regarded as one of the toughest and most prestigious regular-season tournaments, drawing nationally ranked individuals and programs from multiple conferences.
On the mat, the Scuffle is run as an individual double-elimination bracket tournament across the ten NCAA weight classes (125 through 285). Dozens of Division I programs can send full or partial lineups, creating deep brackets where wrestlers compete as individuals while team points accumulate. Day One typically features opening rounds, quarterfinals, and consolation action; Day Two features semifinals, placement matches, and championship finals, with scoring based on advancement, bonus points (including falls and tech falls), and placement finishes.
What’s on the line includes the Southern Scuffle team championship and individual titles in each weight class—plus major momentum for the stretch run of the season. Results are viewed as an important measuring stick ahead of conference championships and the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, with strong showings helping national rankings and seeding profiles. McKenzie Arena’s bowl-style seating surrounding a floor packed with simultaneous mats early—then narrowing to a charged championship-mat finals atmosphere—makes it a fan-friendly place to follow the action live. If you’re planning to attend Southern Scuffle, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.
Box Office Ticket Sales also carries tickets for other major wrestling events throughout the season. If you’re building a travel plan, following a favorite program, or simply want to catch the best matchups as the postseason approaches, browsing related tournaments is a great way to compare dates and seating options.
Southern Scuffle tickets typically range from around $15 to $30 for single-day general admission to $30–$50 for two-day all-session passes, with premium packages running higher.
A few factors tend to drive price: single-day vs. all-session tournament passes, increased demand for Day Two finals, and the overall strength of the year’s field. If you’re aiming for maximum wrestling, all-session access is a practical way to cover the full two-day bracket journey; if you’re targeting peak atmosphere, finals day is often the most in-demand session.
No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.
