Does anyone know the website where you can prepay for tickets to the national championship game in San Francisco, and if your team makes it, you get the tickets? I want to go ahead and buy 2 before the LSU win and the prices go up.

This is pretty cool. Vols fans can get seats in the lower level for as low as $0.59.

Boogs seats in the upper level $4.80.

Bama ... $400.00

LSU ... $50.00

of course you still have to buy the ticket. Lower level is $575 and upper level I’d $475.

The reason I’m not even thinking about going is that it’s in Santa Clara. I would love to visit San Francisco but watch a national championship there no thanks. It’s an outdoor stadium and a ridiculously long and expensive flight.

Ok, I just rolled the dice and bought two reservations for $400 each. Fingers crossed ��
I went to the '11 and '12 NC games using this service. A little less expensive then, but still pretty pricey. We drove to NOLA and saved some money but had to fly to Miami.

A trip to Cali will be outrageous.

Flights are going for $520 out of Birmingham and I am staying with a friend in SF, so it won’t hurt the budget too bad.

Flights to Cali from Birmingham will be double by then. I flew to SoCal in Oct last year, and it cost me $360 round trip from Atl, my Dawg frienemies went in Dec from Atl and it cost over a grand round trip.

IF Bama qualifies for the CFP, it's a great deal to be alble to purchase reasonably priced tickets.

The year we were in NOLA, the morning after the game, we were in the elevator of our hotel and a Bama couple got on to ride down with us. We exchanged our Roll Tides and then started talking about the game. He told us a terrible story. He said they came to NOLA without tickets and about an hour before the game he bought two tickets off the street for $900 each. They had all the cool looking features of the real tickets, but when they got to the gate, they were told they were counterfeits. We asked what they did and he said they came back to the hotel and watched it on TV.

What's even crazier is this: My friend and I and our wives got into the stadium about 1.5 hours before the game. Our wives went to the ladies room sometime before the game and came back and told us there was a woman telling the story that when she and her husband got to their seats there were people already sitting there. They had a discussion about the seats and they both had tickets to those seats. They called an usher and the usher looked at both tickets and said "These are real and these are fake." Thing is, the fake tickets were scanned and worked so the other couple got in with fake tickets that they had bought on the street just like the couple from the hotel. Our wives asked the woman what the usher did. She said he told the couple who had the counterfeit tickets that they had to move, but that he wasn't going to have them escorted from the building because he realized they had been duped. True story!

If Bama gets to Santa Clara then it will be the cheapest national championship game ever in terms of tickets.

Might be worth it to drive to ATL.....might save $200-$300 on airline tickets. Flying into SF is expensive!
Wife is flying to San Jose, 2 rt’s were only $600 (out of Mobile).
It’s a short drive to Santa Clara.

If it were only fans buying tickets, I'd agree. But Mrs. Basket Case and I have been to all of our BCS and CFP-era championship games, and I can tell you, it's getting increasingly corporate. Starting down the road to the look and feel of the Super Bowl. Not there yet, but the evolution from Pasadena in 2009 to Atlanta last year is noticeable.

For anyone going to Santa Clara (assuming we make it there), an option to consider is an over-and-back flight through one of the travel agencies.

If you look at it as a plane ride, it's ridiculously expensive. But if you look at it as a substitute for a more conventional plane ticket, 2-3 nights in a San Francisco hotel, attendant food and beverage, and a rental car, it gets a lot more palatable.

Notwithstanding the fact that you'll leave SFO at about midnight to 1AM, and get back to BHM at about 6-7AM, it's the most time-efficient as well.

We did that for Pasadena, and were wiped out the next day. But it is the most time-efficient, and the money's about the same as a traditional trip, maybe slightly less.

Only way I'd want the same day out and back trip is if Bama lost. While expensive, part of the fun is travelling, staying a few days in a neat place, and celebrating the victory the day after in the place where it happened.

If time is an issue, it's probably the best thing, but if you have a few days, I'd much prefer the other way since I enjoy travelling.

I took my family to the Bay Area on vacation in August. We flew Delta and the flight was very enjoyable. It was a little over four hours. We flew from Atlanta to San Jose. I recommend flying to San Jose because the traffic is not nearly as bad as San Francisco plus there is an In-N-Out Burger close to the car rental station.

I had friends go to the 2009 and 2015 NCGs and said folks were practically giving them away. But the flights and hotels equaled out a NOLA or ATL cost.
