Wisconsin–Notre Dame Ticket Prices Top Soft Week 1 Resale Market

Week 1 college football ticket prices are relatively modest at the top end of the market, with just two games featuring get-in prices above $100, according to official ticketing partners and secondary market listings. The Wisconsin–Notre Dame clash at Lambeau Field, part of the Shamrock Series, is priced at $170. Meanwhile, LSU's Lane Kiffin is making his head coaching debut in Baton Rouge on Saturday, as the Tigers potentially play former NFL players amid controversy.

The most expensive get-in prices during Week 1 include Clemson–LSU at $110, Washington State–Washington at $88, Colorado–Georgia Tech at $85, and Baylor–Auburn at $80. Colorado's matchup against Georgia Tech is the Yellow Jackets' second-most expensive home game of the season, topped only by their upcoming visit from Tennessee. Colorado is experiencing less demand than previous seasons from college football broadcasters, as ESPN will broadcast the game in primetime Thursday night.

Looking ahead to Week 2, Ohio State's matchup against Texas could be the most expensive game of the college football season. With a current get-in price of $528, the game in Austin is expected to draw significant attention and viewership. Last year's Week 1 game between Ohio State and Texas in Columbus had a get-in price exceeding $330, making it the most-watched Week 1 college football game on record, averaging 16.62 million viewers on Fox.

Other notable pricey games from last year's Week 1 included LSU-Clemson at $250 and Miami–Notre Dame at $200.
