Are you kidding? The game is in Atlanta with the home team playing against their very close neighbor to the west. It's an all SEC game right dead smack in the middle of SEC country.

A more realistic approach to this exercise is to look at the national ratings of the game. All the NY6 games and playoff games had a bump in the ratings. Lets see if this trend continues for the championship game between two teams located 250 miles apart.

Well, we won't expect the same bump for the title game, because the other NY6 got the bump because they weren't on New Year's Eve like they were last year, and that doesn't apply to the title game.

And $1800 a ticket is $1800 a ticket. It surely means lots are interested, though of course the national TV ratings will matter as well. I mean, IIRC, for USF vs UCF a month or so ago, you could get in to the game for $40, even though it was two teams 75 miles apart, etc.

Yea, once again..... the game is in Atlanta. Put that game in Dallas, LA, Detroit, or anywhere else..... and the ticket prices will be comparable to other years. Did you just really compare a conference AAC game to the CFP championship? Dude, you are trying too hard.
