CFP Championship Ticket Requests
I don't see any other posts about this yet, but I got a response today for my CFP championship ticket request from the athletic department. I was not surprised to see that the cutoff this year was 205 points, which was higher than last year when it was 160 points. I had anticipated not getting a ticket through the department and pursued the CFP RSVP option, though I would have been pleasantly surprised if this had worked out for me. I hope other readers here got better news than me.
Here was the email:
Thank you for your ticket request for the CFP National Championship Game on Monday, January 8, 2024. Unfortunately, we were not able to fulfill your request. We received more than 25,000 ticket requests for our allotment of 20,000 tickets. While we instituted ticket limits to assist as many donors as possible, we were only able to fulfill requests for those with at least 205 priority points.

Welp.
Guess I'm dropping $2500 on the secondary market if we get there
December 15th, 2023 at 8:18 AM ^
If Washington beats Texas the get in price will be cut in half.
December 14th, 2023 at 9:46 PM ^
I can’t understand why nobody in the athletic department was smart enough to suggest using Photoshop to switch the colors for the Rose & Sugar winner placement.
December 14th, 2023 at 11:26 PM ^
Had the same thought
December 15th, 2023 at 1:08 AM ^
Is this the actual seating? Like I can look for seats in the red section if we win?
December 15th, 2023 at 7:12 AM ^
Yes that is what the athletic department sent out in the email. So the red sections are tickets Michigan would have.
December 14th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
In other words, donate more you cheap bastard.
December 14th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
Got four tickets at the $800 level.
December 14th, 2023 at 10:41 PM ^
Which sections are at the $800 level? Alumni travel packages have upper sideline for $575. I assume that’s 600 level.
December 14th, 2023 at 11:27 PM ^
$575 is 600 level.
December 15th, 2023 at 5:50 AM ^
Email indicated my seats are 100/300 level endzone or 500 level sideline/corner.
December 14th, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
I got 3 tickets at the $475 level (600 level endzone) and was surprised. I just barely snuck past you at 219 priority points
December 14th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
Well, this at least eliminates that tinge of possible regret that could have popped up. Only at 191 so wouldn't have made the cut.
December 14th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
Good job, jinxie
December 14th, 2023 at 11:23 PM ^
If anyone bought tickets and then gets a set for Christmas and therefore has extra, I'd really like to take my dad. We already have plane tickets (because he still had credit from when he bought plane tickets last year and we shat all over the field in Glendale and didn't go) and I have backup plans to send my sister with him if I can't work out my radiation schedule (but I'm having it done at UM Health West, so I think they might understand???) Alas, my measly 161 points didn't make the cut this year.
Happy to buy them off of you at a reasonable price. Please don't let the fact that they are 0-2 in playoff games I've attended, and 3-0 in B1G championship games that I haven't sway you.
Unrelated note: Did the school just get less tickets this year? I got tix last year with my 160ish points, and NRG seats about 2K more than SoFi.
December 15th, 2023 at 5:39 AM ^
Likely will be able to help you out with this.
December 15th, 2023 at 1:56 PM ^
You can send me a message on Facebook to discuss a reasonable price. Matt Kosinski. I have a picture of my daughter in front of our Christmas tree as my profile pic
December 15th, 2023 at 12:06 AM ^
four at $900 per
corner level 100 or 300 per my email
December 15th, 2023 at 1:26 PM ^
Got six at the $900 level, and it said the same: corner 100 or 300
December 16th, 2023 at 8:25 AM ^
Mbasrfun, what priority points were you at for these, curious. I am getting tickets through my father-in-law and he is around 670 points. For some reason he can't find the email but I submitted the request for him so I know he should have one.
December 17th, 2023 at 5:57 PM ^
Around 1400 points or so… got the email last thursday at 12:20 in case that helps!
December 15th, 2023 at 7:17 AM ^
My 340 points were good for 3 tickets at $675 per, in the 500 section.
December 15th, 2023 at 9:49 AM ^
I got a pair of good goods.
Who needs em? The bidding starts at.....
December 15th, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
Does anyone know what the Alumni Association National Championship packages are going for? 2-nights with hotel but no air? Not currently a member but cant see prices without paying for membership.
December 15th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
It's sold out on the website but it was $1900 a person for the 2 nights with hotel but no air 😵💫
December 15th, 2023 at 10:55 AM ^
Much appreciated. Looks like secondary market plus a hotel on points (albeit a bit farther away) is going to be cheaper.
December 15th, 2023 at 1:31 PM ^
All that is left are 3-night packages for land-only, three hotel choices, starting at $2,500 per person. Team Hotel is $3k pp.
January 2nd, 2024 at 1:20 AM ^
What is the team hotel? I cannot find that anywhere.
December 15th, 2023 at 11:27 AM ^
I got 3 at the $575 level for me, wife, kid. We’re trying to make it work (obviously have to get by Alabama) but it may not because I’m supposed to be on some work travel that week…if I can’t get our schedules to align correctly, these tix MIGHT come available to my MGoBlog brethren.
December 15th, 2023 at 2:19 PM ^
I’d be interested in your 3. Email me at [email protected] if they become available.
December 15th, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
Sweet--I'll be in touch if it looks like we won't be able to make it.
December 15th, 2023 at 12:24 PM ^
I’m looking for 3 if anybody is unable to make it work. Flights and hotel are lined up. Just need to find a way in to watch us dominate in person.
December 15th, 2023 at 7:03 PM ^
If you find someone with 4 I’ll take the extra single! Going solo for this trip.
December 15th, 2023 at 1:20 PM ^
It looks like the Alumni Association has tickets available as part of a tour, but the package prices are holy crap high. $2,500 per person for land-only, tickets not included.
FWIW, I booked a Hilton property 10 miles from the stadium for $350. I'll take my chances for tickets.
Pro Tip: Austin airport is a 2.5 hour drive to NRG Stadium. Way cheaper if you can make the logistics work. (note: look into Vonlane, a van service between Austin and Houston. They are awesome)
December 15th, 2023 at 2:01 PM ^
Would love to get a pair if anyone ends up with (2) they are willing to sell. Was able to take my son to his first Ohio game this year and would be an amazing experience for us to go to this game too.
December 15th, 2023 at 4:34 PM ^
I have the flight and hotel booked. Would just need 1 ticket. If anyone has 1 extra I would love to work something out.
GO BLUE!
December 15th, 2023 at 6:25 PM ^
Barely, I have 206, and thats only because this year I donated extra so that our total would be a whole number amount.
The wife has a cousin in Houston that we can stay with so we just need 2 round trip flights.
It’s meant to be!
December 15th, 2023 at 7:08 PM ^
Also got 4 at 800. Now have to quick decide if 2 of us are going or 4, and how much trouble I’ll get in for ditching work
December 16th, 2023 at 12:05 AM ^
I also did not make the cut for points and already took the days off work. If we make it past Bama, I will be going.
If anyone is unable to make it, I will buy your tickets and tack on a little extra as a thank you! Myself, dad, and brothers are all planning to go one way or another so please reach out!
Thanks for considering and Go Blue!
December 16th, 2023 at 8:32 AM ^
For those who received tickets, what was the email address it came from? My father-in-law should have received one but can't find the email. Thanks for any assistance!
