Peach, Orange Bowls on opposite ends of ticket spectrum
Dec. 18, 2014



"Imagine you're a college football fan who wakes up on New Year's Eve in Atlanta and decides to take in a football game that day. Because it's almost 2015 and who has cash and the time?, you ignore the local scalpers and instead head to StubHub.com to buy two seats to that day's Peach Bowl.

That'll be at least $84.15 each, the fifth-highest non-playoff price for this year's bowl game schedule according to the website's search engine. It appears that No. 5 TCU vs. No. 9 Ole Miss is a hot ticket.

Now say you're not in Atlanta, but instead in Miami and wants two seats to Dec. 31's Orange Bowl between No. 7 Mississippi State and No. 12 Georgia Tech."
That's a bargain, at $5.25 a seat-the lowest price of any bowl game."

Moving the Orange Bowl to New Year's Eve (8:30pm EST) does little to promote attendance.

The Orange Bowl screwed themselves when they aligned themselves with the ACC. They haven't had two good teams for a game in many years.
