The College Football Playoffs rule the ticket markets as the College football bowl season gets underway this month, with ticket prices for both semifinals going for hundreds of dollars and the national championship game selling at an average price of nearly $2,500, according to data provided by TicketNetwork.

Out of the two semifinals, the Peach Bowl – which puts top seed seed Georgia against No. 4 Ohio State – is demanding the higher premium with an average ticket sold price of $697. Tickets to the Fiesta Bowl between No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 TCU are going at an average price of $559. Those who haven’t yet secured tickets to those contests will seemingly have to pony up much bigger for the Peach Bowl, which has an asking price averaging at $1,145 for remaining inventory on the secondary marketplace, compared to $554 for remaining Fiesta Bowl tickets.

For the non-CFP games, the Rose Bowl has the apparent highest value for fans, with Utah taking on Penn State in that classic southern California event. Tickets to that contest have sold at an average price of $356, with the average remaining ticket listed at $598 – a higher average ask than the Peach Bowl contest, which is potentially hurt price-wise by the presence of a TCU team without the historical success and fan base reach that other programs bring to the table.

In total, there are eight non-CFP games where consumers are paying above $150 on average for tickets before fees are added. The Sugar Bowl (Alabama vs. Kansas State) is at $263, with the Orange Bowl (Clemson vs. Tennessee) just behind at $254. The Citrus Bowl (LSU vs. Purdue) and Alamo Bowl (Washington vs. Texas) are both above the $200 mark at $223 and $206, respectively, with the Cheez-It Bowl (Florida State vs. Oklahoma), Las Vegas Bowl (Oregon State vs. Florida), Texas Bowl (Texas Tech vs. Mississippi), and Gator Bowl (Notre Dame vs. South Carolina) all seeing an average sold price between $150-200.

All told, consumers are frequently able to get a better ticket price on resale marketplaces than by going through the universities ticket allocations, as many games see prices drop with a non-local or smaller fan base team participating, while the universities are forced to sell through their allocation at the initial face value price.
