The upcoming College Football Playoff national championship game between the Miami Hurricanes and the Indiana Hoosiers is generating immense excitement and demand for tickets. Both teams have passionate fan bases, with the Hurricanes aiming for their first championship since 2001 and the Hoosiers seeking to become the first-ever 16-0 team in major college football.

Tickets on StubHub were priced at $2,995 for the cheapest seats, while lower bowl seats at Hard Rock Stadium were listed at $4,198 and up to nearly $120,000 behind the Miami bench. Prices for seats behind the Indiana bench exceeded $50,000.
