How Rupert Murdoch Changed Sports Media Forever
The price of tickets to this year’s College Football Playoff games could empty some pockets.
The most expensive tickets to this year’s Peach Bowl — the playoff semifinal between Georgia and Ohio State at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday — are going for north of $50,000, with the average ticket price at $697 and the starting price at around $495.
The Fiesta Bowl, which will see Michigan and TCU face off in the other playoff semifinal, is a much cheaper game to catch. Tickets start at $390 and go up to around $4,000.
Fans wanting to go to the national championship at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Jan. 9 will have to shell out significantly more.
- The current average price for a game ticket is $3,000.
- Some reports suggest fans can find tickets as low as $1,180.
Playoff Presence
In the next few years, college football fans will likely have a much better chance to attend playoff games.
The CFP announced Dec. 1 that it would expand to 12 teams for the 2024-25 season. The first round will be played at home sites, the New Year’s Six bowls will rotate quarterfinals and semifinals, and the national championship game will take place a week later than usual.
