I thought it would be interesting in what everyone paid in the past compared to the new 'cheaper' tickets we have been seeing in the CFP era. I could of done the trips below slightly cheaper, but I wanted to have a good time.
2010 BCS title game - Total for $890 for 1
$325 for Lower level seat (Don't ask how)
0 for place to stay due to Grandpa living in Scottsdale)
$165 for flights (Flew standby there & got a cheap flight back)
$250 for rent a car (Split with a buddy)
$150 for food/merchandize/entertainment
2013 BCS title game - Total for $1,160 for 1
$325 for Lower level seat (wife graduated from FSU; friend in ticket office)
$200 for 4 nights in Vegas at New York New York (Split with wife)
$220 for flight
$65 for BCS Party Bus
$0 for car; no need on the strip
$350 for food/merchandize/entertainment (Vegas more expensive)
Demand for tickets is keeping the cost low so far. I expect this to continue unless a team who has not won in a while gets in like Georgia.

Georgia makes it, I'm taking the 10% penalty on my 401k to be there

Clemson?
I think demand is low right now because the timing is shitty. Monday night game following a short turnaround from the playoff game. People don't have time to plan, extra time to take off work, and don't have a grand to spend on flight+hotel.

how? Those are the cheapest nat'l championship trips I've ever seen. And I have buddies that ride the train instead of flying. Kudos to you

But still, this breakdown was quite impressive so good for you. Is 'splitting cost with wife' really a thing?

The cheapest ticket for LSU/Ohio St was $600. Possibly because Ohio St travels well and LSU is so close to New Orleans with the superdome holding 75,000

If I remember correctly, isn't the reason the Auburn/Oregon game so expensive was because Phoenix has a lower seating capacity that the other BCS venues at that time? Less seats = fewer supply = higher cost on the resale market. Funny to think this one is that different.

This was completely out of the norm. That ticket was one of the highest, if not the highest scalped ticket in CFB history. I sold two upperdeckers for $5k.
