FB Title Game Ticket Prices Plummeting?
- Thread starter Smashcat

It's not the SEC per say. Ohio State has more fans than anyone in the SEC. This is a combination of two things.
1) It was ridiculous to expect fans to buy tickets to a conference title game, a Rose/Sugar Bowl and hotel fare, then just 11 days later go to Texas, buy tickets, air fare, hotel, and request off work. Not too many can do that.
2) Oregon has a small fan base.

It will still be a great game...and still be a sold out crowd...
but let's not kid ourselves...Bama and FSU would have shot those ticket prices through the roof...
Oregon v OSU....i'll watch... but I think that FSU v Bama, or Oregon v Bama would wave been more interesting...definitely more worthy of a $2,000+ ticket...
Saban, Kiffin, Cooper, Phylliss from Alabama....Famous Jamies...that is what sells tickets...

The bottom line is that they should continue to let the major bowls rotate as semi-final venues, but go on campus (50/50 seating; lowest seed gets home field "advantage") with the big game. This will place more pressure on the visiting team's fans to make a show of it, and even then, the unsold visiting team tickets might be first made available to season ticket holders of other schools from the visiting team's conference, before rolling back to the home team, and thereafter season ticket holders of other schools in the home team's conference, before ever being made available to the general public. Doing this might help prop up the high ticket price, and still get a good atmosphere for the game, and at the same time avoid rampant scalping.
yep! they need to go ahead and go all in on the playoff and just have everyone schedule 8 regular season games and then have a conference championship... then seed everyone 1 to 64. 1 thru 8 play for the big prize. 9 through 16 play for "we should of been in the final 8, argument". and so on and so on. games should be at the home of the higher ranked team and then the winners bracket and losers bracket champs can play in all the different bowls for the sake of keeping the bowls alive. then fans dont have to spend $30,000 to go to 2 games and can spend $12000 to go to 5. lol
I would be very curious to have seen how many actual tickets ever sold for $2,000+... I would say that would have been a very small market.
Personally, I'm not paying $2,000 to see Ali vs Frazier IV...ok, maybe I would but Jolt'n Joe will first have to crawl out of his grave.
