The cheapest at the time? $618. Now? $139.
The most expensive? Around $1,564 for a seat in the bowl at the 50-yard line, compared to a max of $5,211 at the beginning of December.
The Statesman did a calculation of what it would cost to attend the game, including the flight costs, hotel prices and tickets. The bill came out to a potentially whopping $8,551 but if you'd like to make a last minute decision, buy a ticket and travel seven hours by car? That tag drops significantly.
Texas has a chance to make the CFP Championship for the first time in its history. The Longhorns will need to hand the Huskies their first loss of the season in order to face either Alabama or Michigan in the finals.
