Not sure if this should be posted here OR if this post in itself is a jinx. If so, please forgive me and understandably take it down.
As a Tampa Buckeye I looked into getting tickets to the National Championship game should the Buckeyes go & I figured I'd pass along what I found.
It's possible to purchase tickets at face value ($450 & $550) without being stuck with seats for a game in Tampa (ugh) featuring two teams you don't give a shit about. It seems reasonable option verses paying a scalper double the price in December.
1. Go here... https://collegefootballplayoff.teamtix.com/content/home
2. Click on whichever game you're looking to reserve for, then the team
3. As I understand it, you pay the premium (right now it looks like around $80) and if the Buckeyes go to the big game, your card is automatically charged for either $450 or $550. If they don't, you lose your $80.
I'm guessing the fees will go up every week depending on the rankings. Unfortunately, I don't have $1000 to spend on tickets but perhaps you do. And, I hate to see anyone pay scalpers for something they should be able to enjoy without breaking the bank.
Now, the fact that it's here in Tampa baffles me, but that's a whole other posting.
