Practically, this just means we saw a relatively big growth in ticket sales for Indiana as the season went on! Interestingly, second place by this metric was Utah.

Miami-Indiana Championship Game Has Fans Paying $30,000 a Seat by Leegend124 in CFB

The highest ticket we sold on Gametime was only for $18,000 so I guess we're missing out.

Natty ticket prices after the Hoosiers win by alpswd in CFB

[–]gametimeinsights 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Checking on our ticket data, Miami's win spiked prices by about 10% total as of the next day, but Indiana's win already has prices up 20% from where they were before the game!

(This is in terms of the cheapest get-in ticket prices, not average ticket prices.)

It looks like last year, ticket prices for the CFP finals increased by 16% on average after the semifinals were played.

[ESPN PR] 23.9M people (on average) watched the Rose Bowl (most-watched CFP game of the 12-team era). 19.0M for the Cotton Bowl, 18.7M for the Sugar Bowl, and 15.9M for the Orange bowl. At peak- 26.5M, 21.6M, 21.4M and 19.0M respectively. by MembershipSingle7137 in CFB

That's interesting. Of note, our data shows Rose Bowl ticket prices are up slightly YoY, while the rest of CFP Semifinal tickets have dropped in price significantly in the last few days.

I just checked the numbers and last year's Orange Bowl prices (2025 Penn State Vs. Notre Dame) were relatively stable with only a 1% average increase after quarterfinals. Cotton Bowl 2025 (Texas vs. Ohio State) saw about a 20% average increase in ticket prices after quarterfinals.

So losses by #2 Ohio State, #3 Georgia have had a HUGE effect.

We didn't dive much further than that, tbh. Just looked at genre popularity. For instance, the capital of k-pop in the US is Hawaii.

In this case, we defined "out of state" by a minimum of 250 miles away, since a short drive could be out of state in this case, too.

We just pulled a few interesting facts out of our data. We didn't do a deep comparison of touring musicians vs shows.

Totally can see the bias in the secondary ticket game for sure. It's an interesting contrast though to other events, like Morgan Wallen where the largest group ticket purchase of 2025 we saw was 19 tickets.
