per ESPN:
So many Georgia fans were looking for title game tickets in the moments after the Bulldogs' 54-48 Rose Bowl win over Oklahoma that StubHub's page listing tickets to the Jan. 8 championship crashed for more than 30 minutes on Monday night.
When the page started working again, the cheapest seat to the game, which will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, was $2,480.
The high sale on StubHub was $104,457, which is what someone paid for 10 seats, including all fees, on the 50-yard line on the Alabama side.
On the site of StubHub's competitor, Vivid Seats, the average paid price for a ticket jumped 37 percent after the Bulldogs clinched a spot, a company spokesman said. Before Georgia's win, the average paid price for a ticket to the title game was $2,218. After the Bulldogs defeated Oklahoma, the average paid price has been $3,037.
Vivid Seats' average ticket sale for the game, as of 9 a.m. ET on Tuesday, was $2,733.
StubHub's average paid price on its site through Tuesday morning was $2,243. If that price holds, it will be one of the most expensive title games ever, topping the 2013 BCS title game between Alabama and Notre Dame by more than $600 a ticket ($1,640).
