Super Bowl vs. National Championship tickets: Price comparison, benefits, seating capacity, halftime show, and more explored

The Super Bowl and the CFP National Championship are the biggest games in American football. The former determines the champion in every NFL season, while the latter determines the best college football team in the nation.

The prestige of both games and the demand for in-game attendance causes a surge in their ticket prices. For example, the average ticket price for Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles was $8,000, per MLive.com’s Anneice Coady.

With the showdown between the Michigan Wolverines and the Washington Huskies being only days away, here are some details regarding the tickets for the games.

Super Bowl vs. National Championship tickets – price comparison

While the CFP National Championship can command a massive crowd but the price for watching the game in person is nowhere near what the Super Bowl can command. Based on the rates published by major ticket reselling websites like Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, StubHub, and Ticketmaster, the cheapest ticket for the Michigan-Washington showdown is close to $900.

Meanwhile, ticket prices for Super Bowl LVIII are available at higher rates even before the participants are determined. Coady wrote that the average price is a whopping $6,800. Vivid Seats’ lowest price is $6,704 for the farthest section at the corner of Allegiant Stadium’s upper endzone.
