Based on the cheapest ticket, this year's National Championship is the 6th cheapest since 2011. Georgia's 2018 appearance in the Championship game, also against Alabama in Atlanta, is the most expensive we've tracked.
 
This is the second time the National Championship game will be played in California. The last time was in 2019 when Clemson beat Alabama at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. That game had an average price of $868, and a get-in price of just $202. Those prices are currently 50% and 53% less than this year's game.
