Drama Erupts Over Alabama-Georgia Tickets Involving Nick Saban’s Daughter originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Even in retirement, Nick Saban’s name stirs up drama in Tuscaloosa, and now his daughter is caught in the middle.
Kristen Saban, the daughter of the legendary former Alabama coach, found herself the target of a bold request ahead of the Alabama Crimson Tide's highly anticipated clash with the Georgia Bulldogs on Sept. 27.
She posted a screenshot on social media showing a direct message she received from someone asking for tickets to the game. Her response? Blunt and to the point.
“Yeah so… this is not how you approach someone you’ve literally never met,” Kristen captioned the screenshot. “Good luck with the tickets, girlfriend.”
Fans were quick to chime in online, some defending Kristen’s right to set boundaries, while the audacity of the request entertained others. The incident quickly went viral, becoming the latest chapter in the ever-dramatic Alabama-Georgia rivalry.
The matchup is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the 2025 season, with Georgia looking to defend last year’s SEC title and Alabama entering its second full season without Saban on the sidelines. A win over Georgia would be a major statement for Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer.
Nick Saban’s family was a fixture at Bryant-Denny Stadium throughout his run at Alabama, which included six national championships and a legacy that defined an era. Though he’s now moved into a broadcasting role at ESPN, the spotlight clearly hasn’t shifted too far from the Saban family.
As for tickets to Alabama-Georgia? They’re already one of the hottest items in college football, and if you’re thinking about sliding into a Saban’s DMs to get them, you might want to think twice.
