2025-26 College Football Playoff National Championship Game Ticket Prices Soar: Indiana vs. Miami Set to Break Records
The upcoming 2025-26 College Football Playoff National Championship game between No. 1 Indiana and No. 10 Miami is set to be one of the most expensive on record. The secondary ticket market has seen prices skyrocket since the matchup was confirmed. Resale tickets for the game in Miami are currently priced between $3,500-3,700 on Stubhub and Ticketmaster. Even though prices have slightly decreased, a single ticket in the 300 level inside Hard Rock Stadium still costs around $3,400, which is significantly higher than last year's championship game between Ohio State and Notre Dame. College Football Playoff executive director Rich Clark expressed excitement over the high ticket prices, comparing them to Taylor Swift's concert tickets.
The soaring prices for the CFP championship game can be attributed to various factors, including the historic nature of the matchup. Indiana, with its undefeated record and large alumni base, is vying for its first-ever national championship in football. Miami's return to the championship game after a long absence, coupled with the game being played close to its fanbase, has also contributed to the high demand for tickets. The majority of tickets are initially allocated to the participating schools, leading to a thriving secondary market where resale organizations like Ticketmaster and Stubhub capitalize on the demand. With the game just a week away, sellers are unlikely to lower prices anytime soon, making it a seller's market for fans looking to attend the championship game.
