We asked ChatGPT what you could buy for $4,320. <\/p>\n

Why? Because that\u2019s the average price for a ticket to the College Football Playoff National Championship game between Indiana and Miami.<\/p>\n

The cost to get into Hard Rock Stadium \u2014 home of the Miami Hurricanes \u2014 is trending toward the highest ever for a college football game. Since both teams secured their spots with victories in the CFP semifinals last week, the resale ticket market has been climbing to unprecedented levels, per Front Office Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As of Thursday morning, the average sold price was $4,320, according to Vivid Seats, per ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several factors contribute to the high demand on the secondary market. (The majority of game tickets are allocated to the two participating schools and are originally sold directly through each institution.)<\/p>\n

Indiana has had a remarkable turnaround from being the worst college football team in America for decades to a championship contender in two short years under coach Curt Cignetti. It has never played in the national championship game. Also, the university notes it has the largest living alumni community<\/a> in the country, with 805,000 Hoosiers around the world.<\/p>\n

Miami comes into the game with a storied history, capturing five AP national championships (1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, and 2001) but with an alumni base of around 200,000, per Front Office Sports. This is the first time a college football national championship game will be played on a participating team\u2019s home field. The Hurricanes averaged 63,834 fans per game during the regular season.<\/p>\n

According to Vivid Seats\u2019 Fan Forecast as of Wednesday morning, Indiana and Miami fans will each make up half the crowd, ESPN reported.<\/p>\n
