Thousands of Ohio State fans excited for their chance to attend the first College Football Playoff game at Ohio Stadium experienced frustration on Thursday.
After season ticket holders claimed seats earlier in the week, tickets on sale to the general public Thursday sold out in minutes, leaving those thousands of fans to purchase seats on the resale market at much higher prices.
An Ohio State football spokesperson said Sunday that tickets for Ohio State-Tennessee
would start at $100. Hours after the general public sale, however, resale tickets started at $245 in C deck and ran well over $1,000 in AA deck and Club Level. The most expensive ticket available on
Ticketmaster is $3,600.
There are several reasons for the price hike, including, but not limited to: Ohio State-Tennessee being a historic event as the first CFP game at the Horseshoe, Tennessee fans traditionally traveling to road games in droves and – while unconfirmed by the Ohio State athletic department – the presale code to purchase tickets for the contest leaking online.
The battle between the Buckeyes and Volunteers will be the first CFP game at the Horseshoe and the first December game in the stadium's 102-year history. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said Sunday that his team and Buckeye Nation should be excited to take part in that.
"We're excited about playing the first-ever playoff game in Ohio Stadium," he said. "Ohio Stadium's been around a long time, over 100 years. There's been a lot of great games, but never a playoff game like this. A night game, 8 o'clock, it's gonna be electric. Our guys are going to be excited about this."
A leaked presale code allowed “rabid” Volunteer fans to swoop up tickets for Ohio State's CFP matchup with Tennessee. Now, only resale tickets are available at higher prices.
