Ticket prices for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game between No. 1 Indiana and No. 10 Miami<\/a> are at absurdly high levels.<\/p>\n

As of Saturday morning, the cheapest ticket for the Jan. 19 game on GameTime<\/a> is over $3,500, including fees. That price is thousands of dollars higher than the average ticket price of any of the previous five national title games on GameTime.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of obvious reasons for the high prices. The game is at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens where Miami plays its home games. And the Hurricanes are playing for their first national championship since the 2001 season.<\/p>\n

Indiana, meanwhile, has never won a national title in football. And its fans are enjoying every minute of its undefeated season. Hoosier fans flooded Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for Friday night\u2019s Peach Bowl blowout of Oregon. It\u2019s not an exaggeration to say that more than 80% of the crowd was wearing red. Indiana has the largest living alumni base of any school in the country; there are lots of alums who would love to see their school play for a national title.<\/p>\n

Big-game ticket prices typically come down on the secondary market as kickoff approaches, but this year\u2019s title game could largely prove to be the exception to that rule. Last year\u2019s average ticket price for Ohio State\u2019s win over Notre Dame was just over $2,700. And even that was over $700 higher than the average ticket price for Michigan\u2019s win over TCU in January 2024.<\/p>\n

Yes, the average ticket prices for the last two title games were considerably below the current price to simply get in the building. Will that hold?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ticket prices for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game between No. 1 Indiana and No. 10 Miami…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":113291,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[57570,57571,3156,123,2431,125,124,33984,35973],"class_list":{"0":"post-113290","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-cheapest-ticket","9":"tag-gametime","10":"tag-indiana","11":"tag-miami","12":"tag-miami-gardens","13":"tag-miami-headlines","14":"tag-miami-news","15":"tag-ticket-price","16":"tag-ticket-prices"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
