how much are national championship tickets

College Football Playoff national championship tickets in 2026 are extremely expensive, with most resale “get‑in” prices around the low‑to‑mid $3,000s and many seats running well above $5,000.

Quick Scoop

  • For the 2026 CFP title game (Indiana vs. Miami at Hard Rock Stadium), lowest resale prices shortly before kickoff were roughly $3,200–$3,900 just to get in the door.
  • Average resale tickets were in the $5,000+ range, with some premium or club seats listed for tens of thousands of dollars.
  • Official face value (what schools/CFP charge before resale) was much lower, roughly $575–$1,450 depending on seat level, but those are almost all allocated to schools, sponsors, and VIPs and rarely hit the open market at face value.

Typical 2026 price ranges

  • Face value through schools/CFP (if you’re lucky enough to get one): about $575–$1,450 per ticket.
  • Resale “get‑in” price (upper deck, far from the field): about $2,700–$3,900 in the days before the game.
  • Lower level / better seats on resale : often $3,700–$6,000+ depending on view and row.
  • Club and ultra‑premium seating : from around $4,000 up to $15,000+ for all‑inclusive 50‑yard‑line club seats, with a few extreme listings even higher.

Why they’re so high right now

  • The 2026 game is being called one of the most expensive college football championship games ever, with get‑in prices over $3,000 and average resale prices above $5,000.
  • Demand is boosted by:
    • A relatively small stadium (around 65,000 seats) and a big‑game destination market.
* High demand from both fan bases and large alumni pools, plus corporate buyers and sponsors taking a big chunk of the best inventory.

If you’re thinking of going

  • The cheapest realistic option is usually an upper‑deck ticket through a major resale site, and for this year that means roughly $3,000+ per seat before fees.
  • Prices can dip the week between semifinals and the championship and then spike again on game day, so timing the purchase matters.

Bottom line: if you’re searching “how much are national championship tickets” for the current CFP game, be prepared for Super‑Bowl‑level pricing, especially on the secondary market.
