** An early check on the #PeachBowlTicketMan reveals a market very similar to what the SEC Championship Game offered. Ticket inventory on the secondary market for Washington-Alabama appears to be plentiful, with the current lowest get-in price (with fees) sitting at just under $170 per ducat.

As for the #FiestaBowlTicketMan, with get-in prices already below $100 with fees, he's already taking a beating -- and he can thank astronomically-high travel prices to the Phoenix area for Clemson and Ohio State fans for his troubles.

I don't think it'll be terrible. If I were going, I'd expect to pay $100 to get in.

FV are $110. They will
Be available
Team Tix for NCG is back open. By the looks of the prices this game will be high price, especially if Bama vs OSU. FV of those start at $450. I think that is ridiculous

Son of a bitch. That's a bit more than I want to pay.

Very soft demand, I'd imagine a huge chunk of the fanbase is tapped out and assuming a win and planning on Tampa.

Being in Atlanta is close for most Bama fans, but many Bama fans are kinda 'over' Atlanta at the moment, been there a ton the past few years.

Those Jerry world trips are getting tough. At least Atlanta is an easy drive. If the kick off is early, you don't have to even get a hotel room if you're in Birmingham.

I wish we'd start having home and homes again. Doing it every year takes away from the novelty. Especially now that we're down to Duke.

Wow. It's down to the 130's on stubhub. That's crazy low for ATL being so close. I would have thought this would be one of the harder Bama tickets in the last few years.

Cheapest nose bleed is $134 on Vivid Seats right now with $42 as the cheapest parking pass. Cheapest seat for the national championship game is $670 in the upper corner of the stadium.

Prices will continue to drop too as people try to sell them and can't.

I'd imagine you'll be able to get great seats for no more than $100 a ticket by game time, perhaps even as low as $80'ish.

We're just really spoiled and have "big game" fatigue and it's a very long trek for Washington's fanbase so that will cut back on demand too.

Will be three straight games in Atl or 3/4.

The neutral site opening games really needs to end.

Go to vividseats.com and type in Peach Bowl. It shows an overhead seating chart broken down by sides. The NCG seating chart is broken down by Fiesta Bowl Winner and Peach Bowl Winner.

I'd much rather pay $150 for a ticket and drive 2 hours to Atlanta to see us play a team we haven't played in my lifetime than $500+travel to go to Tampa.

I don't understand not going to a playoff game for $150 because you are tired of going to games there.

A season opener? OK. A CFB playoff game? That'd be dumb

I haven't paid more than face value for any game in the past five years including an sec championship and two national championship games.

I will never understand why people pay more.

People take families and make a weekend out of it. If you have already been to Atlanta 2 or 3 times in the last two years it's tough.

I wouldnt be surprised if OSU fans have fiesta fatigue. 03, 04, 06, 07, 09, 16 and now 16 again
