So we fill an 80K+ seat stadium weekly...50K+ are IPTAY

and Clemson advised they would have 17.5K left for fans of their national championship ticket allotment after receiving thousands more requests than they can accomodate.
Bama...even crazier than that.
And people are expecting a "flood of tickets" come Thursday to be available to the secondary market.
Math is your friend.

This "flood of tickets" that has been mentioned...

may occur but if it does (and that's a big if IMO), the prices will still be significantly in excess of face value.

I read the market is down to about 1200 tickets available earlier. I bet it never goes over 4500 available, even when the allotments hit. And I agree, it won't drop much if any.

Cusschamp isn't a bad recruiter...

He's just a lousy coach.
He had infinitely more resources and talent at Florida and still managed to step on his own johnson with golf shoes.

People order more tickets "just in case" Then people will decide not to go and sell. And tickets drop for EVERY GAME 2-3 days before the game.

Look man, you may be right (I have zero confidence in that and neither do the professional brokers who do this for a living), but prices are not going to spike I can promise you. The get in price for the 2013 BCS game was $500 and the average dropped 47% by gameday. That game had the best traveling fan base in the country (Notre Dame) who had not been to a championship in 20 years and who hadn't played in two postseason games before that championship or the year before, thus fatiguing the fan base. It was also three national championship games ago for Alabama. The fact that this game is in driving distance for both fan bases also means that people can wait until the day before to decide if they're going to go which means tickets sit on the markets waiting to be dropped in price. I'll come back and eat crow if not. For you to continue to post this tells me you're hoping prices don't drop cause you're trying to make a profit? No?

No, you're just paranoid and trying to convince yourself I'm only posting to pad my own back pocket. I have my three tickets and am not reselling.

My daughter worked for a large ticket broker while in college. She called today to see if he had any available and he told her that based on demand it will be 70:30 Clemson:Tide. He is now selling tickets in Bama sections to Clemson fans for 1000.

That would be amazing to see on TV. 70% of the stadium wearing Orange, even peppered throughout the Alabama sections!
Hopefully with the extra # of people in the stadium the 12th man would be in full effect, throwing Hurts snap counts off.
