Last week, tickets for the Cotton Bowl between Texas and Ohio State were soaring. The skyrocketing prices had nosebleed tickets for the College Football Playoff semifinal in Arlington going for more than 50-yard line seats for the Peach Bowl were sold for.
The cheapest tickets on SeatGeek were $354 in section 436, the highest tier at AT&T Stadium. Most upper deck tickets were north of $500. Fifty-yard line seats at the Cotton Bowl were running around $1,800.
But as the temperature has dropped in North Texas, so have the ticket prices. Many Ohio State fans have cancelled their trips and flooded the secondary ticket market. Numerous Longhorns fans decided to cancel their trips to Dallas, too, based on the price collapse.
Tickets that cost $500 or more last week are down to $175 dollars on SeatGeek. The highest priced seat is under $1,200.
The Dallas area is bracing for a snowstorm Thursday that will make travel tricky at best or impossible at worst based on where fans are coming from. The forecast predicts one of the top five snowfalls in DFW history. With so many travel cancellations, the Longhorns may have a bigger home crowd advantage than first anticipated.
