As the College Football Playoff (CFP) national championship game between Ohio State and Notre Dame approaches, ticket prices are reaching new heights. The price for the cheapest ticket on Ticketmaster has hit $1, 946, and that's just one day before the big match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. If you want a seat closer to the action, you'll have to shell out at least $2, 500 for a lower bowl ticket, and the priciest tickets are selling for over $6, 000.

While these prices might make fans wince, there's some consolation: once inside, they can enjoy affordable concessions. Mercedes-Benz Stadium is keeping its fan-friendly prices for this game, with items like sodas, pretzels, and popcorn all costing just $2. It's a bargain compared to the ticket prices!

The demand for tickets is off the charts. StubHub has reported that this game is set to be their best-selling CFP national championship game ever. Vivid Seats is also seeing high demand, with this game being their hottest college football ticket since 2009.

Where are the fans coming from? Ohio is leading the pack with 17% of ticket sales, followed by Illinois at 6%, and Indiana at 4%. Both schools have sold out their full allotment of 20, 000 tickets each.

The excitement is building, and the game kicks off at 7:30 p. m. on Monday, with ESPN broadcasting the event.
