This season, the secondary market ticket prices for the two College Football Semifinals are insane. Tickets to see the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide take on the No. 1 Michigan Wolverines at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA, start at over $700 for the cheapest seats. Tickets to see the other semifinal in the Sugar Bowl as the No. 3 Texas Longhorns face the No. 2 Washington Huskies are cheaper, but not by much. Those tickets start at just over $550 but quickly jump up to over $600 before you are even out of Level 600 seating.

There are plenty of reasons for the ticket price surge for the pair of games this coming New Year’s Day. Interest spiked when the undefeated Florida State Seminoles were left out of the playoff field. The four schools bring big brands to the table, with Michigan, Alabama, and Texas having a big money fanbase across America. This is also the last year of this format, with the playoff field expanding to 12 teams from the 2024 season onward.
The fear of missing out is real in this case. The two games should both be good – which helps – with no weaker team in the field (as was the case with the overachieving TCU last season.) Tickets will only ramp up in price from here onwards, so we advise buying now.
