How To Get Cheap College Football Playoff Championship Tickets

TickPick is an excellent spot to buy cheap College Football tickets. Remember that the prices will not be at face value, but we still offer the best price compared to our competitors. With the massive fan bases of the teams still vying for a birth in the CFP, market prices are anticipated to be higher, but that doesn’t mean that good deals can’t be had – if you know where to look.

With high prices come high service fees with many marketplaces, but not TickPick. At TickPick, we have no service fees, making us your source for College Football Championship tickets for the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the guaranteed best prices of any other major secondary ticket marketplace. Given this annual event’s high face values and extreme resale value, prices can get out of hand quickly when you factor in the fees that every other marketplace aside from TickPick will charge you on top of the listed price.

When Is the Best Time to Buy College Football Playoff Championship Game Tickets?

The CFP Championship is one of the most significant sports events yearly and is even more critical for many football fans than the Super Bowl. We at TickPick field numerous calls and emails from fans interested in securing tickets to this game, and we’ve essentially handled it as we would for the Super Bowl, given the extreme value and high demand for these tickets that only increases as the matchups shake out.

We’d tell an interested buyer that if you’re comfortable with prices where they’re at, we’d suggest buying now rather than risking the prices continuing to increase as the championship matchup is set.

Why Should I Buy Tickets for the CFP Championship Game Through TickPick?

In short, securing your tickets through TickPick is the way to save money because of our no-fee pricing structure, which makes a much more significant difference in the total price of tickets as prices for an event like this get higher.

When a fan is looking to purchase a ticket for a major event like this that is listed on both StubHub and TickPick, for example, the price will ultimately be higher (usually by hundreds of dollars) once the fees are applied on other sites like StubHub who tack on fees at the end.

When Will I Receive My Tickets for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game?

With major events like this, the teams often do not allocate tickets until the week of the event. The reason for that is that the matchups aren’t predetermined, so once they become apparent, the schools are allocated tickets by the venue and NCAA that go to donors, alumni, current students, etc. These tickets may hit the resale market well ahead of when they’re received by the brokers who can list them for sale.

Most tickets for the CFP Championship in recent years have been mobile entry only. Please keep in mind that mobile tickets may not be available until 24-48 hours before game time, but as soon as the seller is granted access to them from the venue, they will then take the time to manually transfer them to the buyer’s account to be claimed on their mobile phones.

TickPick’s Guarantees

As always, TickPick provides our buyers with a BuyerTrust Guarantee on all tickets, assuring any buyers that tickets purchased through us will be secure and 100% valid for entry. Sellers stand to lose a lot of money should their tickets never work for any event, let alone one with high values on tickets like this, so they have every reason to ensure there will not be any issues. 

Furthermore, many tickets for this event will be via the aforementioned mobile entry, a system implemented by the venue to prevent fraud (the mobile QR codes aren’t released until a few days before the game at most and cannot be duplicated). The rest of these tickets are hard-stock and issued directly from the venue. They have systems to verify and ensure they cannot be counterfeited.
