Ticket prices for the College Football Playoff National Championship game have skyrocketed after No. 1 Indiana<\/a> booked their ticket to the sport’s showpiece.<\/p>\n

The Hoosiers will take on No. 10 Miami (FL) in the game which is being hosted at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida<\/a>\u00a0– making this essentially a home game for\u00a0the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

However, Indiana fans have traveled incredibly well this season – including for the Peach Bowl on Friday night when they overwhelmingly outnumbered Oregon<\/a> fans in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Naturally, with the Hurricanes hoping to win their first title since 2001 and Indiana looking for their first ever football title, ticket prices were going to be high.<\/p>\n

But the second-hand market has seen prices jump to astronomical and ridiculous prices.<\/p>\n

In a Saturday morning review of the top ticket resale sites in the US, get-in-the-door prices for the national championship game were as high as $3,600.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Ticket <\/p>\n

Ticket prices for the CFP National Championship game in Miami are being lambasted by fans<\/p>\n

\"Secondhand <\/p>\n

Secondhand prices have tickets to the game at Hard Rock Stadium as low as $3,600<\/p>\n

Other listings among the more exclusive seating arrangements reached the astronomical range of over $52,000.<\/p>\n

Fans on social media were up in arms over the out-of-reach cost to attend the game.<\/p>\n

‘This is absurd,’ posted one user on X.<\/p>\n

Another remarked, ‘this is insane wtf this is terrible not just for college sports but all sports here in america look at the world cup final ticket prices…that s**t is wild’.<\/p>\n

‘Absolutely ridiculous!!! Greed!!’ another moaned.<\/p>\n

One fan noted that these high prices could reduce the impact of Indiana’s alumni: ‘and this is why yes, indiana will travel very well, but I’m not convinced it will be a massive red wash at Hard Rock because we aren’t factoring in the very large sect of wealthy, front-running Canes fans who now have the perfect be-seen status opportunity to splurge on.’<\/p>\n

While these prices are exorbitant, it’s worth noting that these listings all came before the ticket allocations were sent out to schools.<\/p>\n

Both Indiana and Miami will be allotted 20,000 tickets for both of their fan bases.<\/p>\n

\"Miami <\/p>\n

Miami outlasted Ole Miss to reach their first national championship game since 2001<\/p>\n

\"On <\/p>\n

On Friday, Indiana handily defeated Oregon to book their trip to their first ever title game<\/p>\n

The remaining tickets will be posted to the open market for the general public.<\/p>\n

Miami earned the spot in the title game after dismantling Ole Miss. Meanwhile, Indiana demolished Oregon to get this far.<\/p>\n

Betting markets have pegged Indiana as overwhelming favorites to win the championship game, despite essentially playing a road game.<\/p>\n

The Hoosiers are favored by -7.5 for the title matchup to be held in nine days time.<\/p>\n
