Most Expensive Weekends 2015
From CheatSheet: The 10 Most-Expensive Cities to be a College Football Fan
The price of tickets, high as they are at times, is only part of the equation. If you're coming from out of town to see your team play, you probably need to spend the night... so CheatSheet combined average ticket price with average hotel room rates to get a top 10 most-expensive weekend list:
Rank | Team | AP Rank preseason* | Avg Home Game Hotel, $ | Avg Home Game Tkt, $ | Total Cost, $ |
| 10 | Florida St | 10 | 221 | 72 | 293 |
| 9 | Oklahoma | 19 | 160 | 167 | 327 |
| 8 | Baylor | 4 | 180 | 153 | 333 |
| 7 | Ole Miss | 17 | 237 | 102 | 339 |
| 6 | Ohio St | 1 | 131 | 210 | 341 |
| 5 | Clemson | 12 | 217 | 125 | 342 |
| 4 | Auburn | 6 | 197 | 173 | 370 |
| 3 | Georgia | 9 | 190 | 195 | 385 |
| 2 | Alabama | 3 | 234 | 200 | 434 |
| 1 | Notre Dame | 11 | 214 | 349 | 563 |
OBSERVATIONS:
1. It must be very expensive to follow Notre Dame - they seem to be on this list every year!
2. I'm a little surprised at how high hotels around Clemson are; 2015 ticket prices probably got a boost from a home schedule that includes Notre Dame, Georgia Tech AND Florida State.
3. How did FSU make this list with an average ticket of only $72? It's all in the hotels...
What are your thoughts? Have any of you stayed in a hotel at one of these locations, and if so, are these prices about right?
So, are hotels in Tallahassee REALLY $221 per night?
ReplyDeleteYes....isolated city, price gauging is common.
