Here’s all the info you need for purchasing tickets to the 2017 College Football Playoff.

The College Football Playoff has been officially announced. On Sunday, it was decided that the Alabama Crimson Tide, Ohio State Buckeyes, Clemson Tigers and Washington Huskies would be the four teams to compete for a National Championship.

The No. 1 Crimson Tide will take on the No. 4 Huskies in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. The No. 2 Clemson Tigers will return to the site of their National Championship Loss in Glendale and host the No. 3 Buckeyes, who won the Fiesta Bowl over Notre Dame last season.

With two incredible battles set to take place before the final two do battle in Tampa Bay, there will be plenty of fans that will try to get tickets to the College Football Playoff. However, there are some things to remember while trying to get tickets to the Peach Bowl and Fiesta Bowl.

More than 50% of tickets are allocated to the schools participating in the game and then there is a random drawing for the public. It’s not an easy task to get your hands on some tickets to the big game but luckily that’s what the secondary market is for.

Resale sites like StubHub are able to hook fans up with the tickets they want to get. They usually are more pricey than face value but both games thus far have reasonable costs to get in. According to current prices, the Peach Bowl is a bit more expensive to get into than the Fiesta Bowl.

So the good news is that there are a variety of avenues to going to one of these games. If you aren’t able to get a ticket through the school or via a drawing, then you can go to the resale market or purchase a premium package that includes hotel accommodations.
