Outrageous ticket prices for the College Football National Championship game: Ohio State vs Notre Dame
The College Football season reaches its conclusion on Monday with the title game in Atlanta. Ticket prices have gone through the roof.
Ohio State and Notre Dame bring the College Football season to a close in Atlanta on Monday. It’s been an exhilarating run for both programs - the eighth-seeded Buckeyes clinched the Cotton Bowl with a 28-14 victory over Texas; No.7 seeds the Fighting Irish, emerged victorious in the Orange Bowl, edging Penn State 28-24.
This will be the ninth meeting between the two programs - Notre Dame won the first two (18-13 in 1935 and 7-2 the following year), but in the six encounters since then, they have failed to beat Ohio State. The most recent meeting last year ended 17-14 with the Buckeyes scoring a touchdown in the dying seconds.
Who are the favorites?
And the bookmakers have the Buckeyes as the favorites to take this year’s title. Ryan Day’s men are at -350 while the Fighting Irish have been given odds of +280.
There hasn’t been a dull moment during the postseason and unsurprisingly, demand for tickets to the National Championship game is high - which has caused prices to surge.
