Can you still get a ticket to see UM in the championship game? What’s the cost?

Now that the Miami Hurricanes have made it to the national championship game, there’s one big question left: What about tickets?

Get ready to summon a Brink’s truck to your house if you want to be in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium in MIami Gardens on Jan 19.

And if you don’t, catering a watch party at home for your 12 friends might be cheaper than a single ticket to see UM play Indiana, which is led by Miami native and Heisman-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

Just like the Super Bowl, a college national championship game ticket could cost you a few thousands bucks on secondary-market sites such as Stubhub.com and VividSeats.com.

OK, everyone, take a seat and take a deep breath. Here’s what we found so far:

On StubHub, the least expensive ticket available is about $3,000 for an upper-level seat. The most expensive ticket on StubHub is just under $50,000 for a seat several rows away from the field. A knee replacement is cheaper.

A limited number of tickets will be available for 2026 UM season-ticket holders or Hurricane Club members to purchase. The Hurricane Club is a fundraising organization that supports the university’s athletes.

Those ticket holders or club members can buy tickets this Tuesday, Jan. 13, at noon and 2 p.m.

But there’s a catch: To qualify for a 2026 presale time slot, fans will need to buy 2026 football season tickets or 2026 Hurricane Club memberships by 12:59 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12.

Some students are desperate to get a seat for the big game. A limited number of student tickets will be made available.

“Doesn’t matter how much it is,” said UM junior Courtney Hartung, 20, a marine biology and ecology major.

“I’m going to be sitting in that stadium for my family, for the Canes, for myself as a student growing up with the Canes, and I’m absolutely 100% going to be there.”
