How College Football Playoff tickets are sold

First-round games are played at the home stadium of the higher seed and sold by that school. The quarterfinals and semifinals are played at the major bowl games, which sell tickets through the bowl and the two schools. The National Championship is sold through the playoff, the two finalists and official hospitality partners.

Each school receives an allocation for its fans, usually offered first to donors and season ticket holders. Everything else reaches fans through the resale market, where listings appear the moment a matchup is announced.

What moves the price

Travel distance and fan base size decide most of the price. A program with a large, nearby fan base fills a bowl at high prices, while two teams whose fans face a long, expensive trip leave more seats for resale and push prices down.

Timing is tight. Bowl matchups are set only days or weeks before kickoff, so prices move fast in the first hours after the bracket is published and again in the final days before each game.

Reading the numbers on this page

Each row is one game with its cheapest and median listing before fees and the number of listings. Rows are named after the bowl and the round, since the teams are only known once the bracket is set.
