Tickets are too much…

Yeah.  I’ve always preferred to watch at home anyway. Thankful for that

Hopefully they drop, would love to go to it, should’ve gotten ticket’s earlier this week

I’ll bet TN isn’t thrilled with a night game at OSU. I can’t stand OSU but hate the SEC more. 
Go OSU!!

I’m going to spend so much GD money on tickets. And it’s going to be worth it.

The full bowl slate for those 'other' teams. I'm still disappointed we didn't make the Pinstripe Bowl lol.

Boise State with blue football field advantage waiting on the winner of Penn State vs SMU makes the Playoff bracket look like a comic strip.  Big winner is Penn State except Penn State has coach Franklin..

Should be noted that Boise State gets a bye but all of the quarterfinals and onward are at actual bowls.

I don’t want to go to GA but going back to OSU wouldn’t be a party either.

Is there a path to us playing at ND ?

nailed it!

Yep,

If/when IU beats ND the next game, vs Georgia, will be at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, on New Years Day.

I live about 2 hrs from S. Bend, but no way in hell I'm paying that kind of money to watch a game in enemy territory!

Better than in the peach bowl!

Apparently it’s the season ticket holder’s seats, sounds like ND hasn’t publicly released the tickets yet, they should bring them down 

[Ryno6284]

Does anybody know how first round games work?  like a regular season game with limited visitor tickets?  Also, how is revenue split? just between playoff teams?  If not the teams with byes are screwed on the revenue side unless they get a bigger chunk from the "bowl"they are in?

I think prices will go down but with fees included, on Stubhub, the cheapest tickets along the sidelines, 10 yardline to 10 yardline, are $2,950 each.  
 

So two tickets, two flights, rental car, hotel, food-booze would put me out over $9,000 to sit outside at night, in South Bend in late December…….. The game is going to be GREAT on my big screen.

There’s several warm beaches to watch these games and celebrate for a week win or loose vs attending these games in person.

Ticket prices are absolutely ridiculous and SO much more than for any of the other CFB playoff games. Think I saw PSU/SMU is like $200 to get in. I’d pay $1k or a little above per ticket given how rare this is but there’s no way I’m shelling out 3x that per ticket.

And OSU/TN has tickets on the 10 yard line for $522 including fees.

Similar seats at ND are $2,750 but I’ll bet those will go down quite a bit…maybe

[Hovadipo]

There’s like 200 listings on any given site right now. Check back this time next week. People buying tickets today are absolute suckers.

The reversible jacket fans have a win/win situation!  #****that...#****NOTREDAME!

CFP gets all ticket revenue and distributes it to conferences. They’ll be pretty much regular home games with a few subtle differences.
