MIAMI GARDENS – (Staff and Wire Service Report) – Monday night’s title game between Miami and Indiana will be the most expensive ticket in the history of the College Football Playoff.
The get-in price for two seats together at the 65,000-seat Hard Rock Stadium as of 5 p.m. ET on Monday was more than $4,000 across several secondary ticketing platforms.
- SeatGeek: $4,109
- Ticketmaster: $4,080
- Vivid Seats: $4,028
- StubHub: $4,217
Premium services were even more, topping out at $16,000+ for a single seat.
The get-in price at SeatGeek had risen approximately $900 from just a few hours earlier on Monday afternoon, according to tracking on the platform by Field Level Media.
That is on pace to smash the previous high on record of $1,830 on TickPick for last year’s title game between Notre Dame and Ohio State, according to Front Office Sports.
Contributing factors to the record price include Miami playing in its home stadium, which is also the home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, and that Indiana boasts the largest living alumni base in the United States at more than 800,000.
The No. 1 Hoosiers are seeking their first national title in program history while the Hurricanes are seeking their first since the 2001 season. Indiana is a consensus 7.5-point favorite.
