Last week, tickets for the Cotton Bowl between Texas and Ohio State were soaring. The sky-rocketing prices had seen nose-bleed tickets for the CFP Semifinal in Arlington eclipse 50-yard line seats for the Peach Bowl.
The cheapest tickets on SeatGeek were $354 in section 436, the highest tier at AT&T Stadium. Most upper deck tickets were north of $500. 50-yard line seats at the Cotton Bowl were running around $1,800.
But as the temperature has dropped in North Texas, so have the ticket prices. Many Ohio State fans have cancelled their trips and have flooded the secondary ticket market. A lot of Longhorns fans have decided to cancel their trips to Dallas too.
Tickets that cost $500+ last week are down to $175 dollars now ahead of the storm on SeatGeek. The highest price seat is under $1,200.
The Dallas area is bracing for a snow storm Thursday what will make travel tricky to impossible based on where fans are coming from. The current forecast predicts one of the Top 5 snow fall event in DFW history. With so many travel cancelations, the Longhorns may have a bigger home crowd advantage than first anticipated.
