Will season tickets include a potential first round playoff game at home?

I know I’m just a simple middle class American raising a family in the burbs. But I’m curious about how fans will afford the 12 team playoff, especially for programs that may be there often.
You could potentially have the following expenses to support your team:
1) Home playoff game (gas for driving plus tickets; maybe hotel)
2) Quarterfinal (flight tickets; multiple days of hotels; tickets)
3) Semifinal (flight tickets; multiple days of hotels; tickets)
4) National Championship ((flight tickets; multiple days of hotels; tickets)
How much money is that? $10k for two people? Does every program have that many rich people to fill up their side of the stadium for this many games? Especially through the Christmas season?

I would have to imagine the home playoff game will be treated the same way the tournament is for baseball.

If you give them your credit card again...

I’ve wondered about this as well. Has it been set that the playoff games will be played at home stadiums or are they incorporating some of the bowl games into the 12 team playoff? Like the first round is something like the Liberty Bowl and if you win that you go to the Peach Bowl and so on?

NFL has done it for years. But, only a handful of programs can afford to have consistent backing. It’s mostly a made for TV event.

Here’s the thing about economics: if not enough ppl can afford it, then prices start to come down.

Can't imagine where $10k would possible even on the cheap. I'd at least 2 - 3 times that. Tix, flights, rooms, Ubers, food, drink, souvenirs etc...

Last few years cost me a shitload. And to be honest, I’m done with it. It’s crazy
