Indiana Hoosiers Fans Driving Major Demand for College Football Playoff Tickets

Indiana football is just two wins away from one the most remarkable turnarounds in college football history. 

When Curt Cignetti took over as head coach two years ago, Indiana had not had a single double-digit win season in its 125-year existence. Cignetti turned a 3-9 team in 2023 into one that finished with an 11-2 record and College Football Playoff appearance in his first season at the helm. 

He made another leap in Year 2, with Indiana the only undefeated team remaining in college football at 14-0 and has the Hoosiers in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff.

The Indiana fanbase has certainly embraced this wild ride, as the Hoosiers have been coming out in full force for the 2025-26 College Football Playoff. Let’s break down the latest CFP ticket numbers here at SeatGeek.

Indiana Leading Ticket Demand for the 2025-26 CFP Quarterfinals and Semifinals

After finishing as the No. 1 seed, Indiana had a first-round bye for the CFP, which featured on-campus games. For the quarterfinals and semifinals at neutral sites, no program has drawn more interest than Indiana.

The Peach Bowl semifinal this Friday between Indiana and No. 5 Oregon has an average resale ticket price of $520.97 at SeatGeek, making it the most in-demand ticket of any neutral-site game this CFP. Among all tickets sold at SeatGeek for the Peach Bowl, an incredible 47% of purchases have come from the state of Indiana. Coming in second is Georgia at 9%, the host state of the Peach Bowl. 

Indiana’s ticket demand isn’t limited to the Peach Bowl. Indiana against No. 9 Alabama in the quarterfinals at the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day had the second-highest demand of any neutral-site game, with the average resale ticket price at $494.28. The state of Indiana was responsible for a leading 24% of the purchases for that showdown, followed by California at 21%. 

The only 2025-26 CFP game that surpassed Indiana’s games in demand was the first-round matchup between No. 11 Miami and No. 6 Texas A&M, with that contest hosted by Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. The average resale ticket price for that clash was $613.23.

Even last season, Indiana’s first-round affair against Notre Dame had the second-most demand (average resale ticket price of $769.29) of any 2024-25 CFP game, which was only behind the national championship between Ohio State and Notre Dame. That’s right, Indiana-Notre Dame in the first round topped the semifinal matchups featuring Ohio State-Texas and Notre Dame-Penn State.

With Indiana approaching history, fans looking to secure tickets for the Peach Bowl or potential national championship should check SeatGeek for the latest ticket options and best deals.
