With rising airfare/hotel costs cutting into my willingness to travel, we’ll see how many of the below plans I go through with:
Sept 10: Mississippi St @ Arizona
Sept 24: Toledo @ San Diego State
Oct 8: Washington @ Arizona State
Oct 29: Arkansas @ Auburn
Nov 12 TCU @ Texas

Going to use this thread as my own way of tallying total costs of attending college football games this year. Will include the bigger line item charges such as tickets, air fare, car rental, hotels. Will NOT include costs for beer bought for tailgates, meals, stadium concessions, etc. Depending on how many games I usually attend yearly (5 to 7) I’m guessing I spend $4k - $6k.

Yesterday bought 2 tickets to Toledo @ SD St for a total of $175. To answer how tix to a game between the MAC and MWC can cost over $80 a ticket, San Diego St upped their tickets prices by because of their newly constructed stadium (see below), which doubly serves the purpose of lowering the supply of seats.

Total Spent so far: $175

Nebraska is planning a similar upgrade
So long as it improves egress to and from North and South Stadium it'll be a winner.

Jack Murphy/Qualcomm was such a miserable TV viewing experience

I tallied up my totals for one season back when I had season tickets for home games in Austin, and also attended the TX-OU game at the Cotton Bowl.  It was terrifying so I never did it again.

hah, I asked my daughter to track her spending on dining out for a month.

She said that would just be depressing

Never attended the games again or never tallied the total again?

My dad, brother, and I traveled to every (at the time 11, then 12, then 14) B1G stadium to watch the Buckeyes. I'm sure if I added it up the costs would be staggering but dad isn't around anymore so the memories are priceless.

Heh, never tallied it again.  I had season tix for about 25 years counting my student years.  Finally let them go 4 or 5 seasons ago.

And no doubt the time spent with your dad is priceless.  No way to account for that financially.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - United Airlines is adding more flights to help college football fans travel this upcoming season.

United Airlines is adding direct flights from Lincoln to Detroit, Michigan ahead of Nebraska playing at Michigan on Nov. 12, as well as flying bigger planes from Lincoln to Iowa ahead of the Huskers playing Iowa on Nov. 25.

A round-trip flight from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Lincoln is being added on Sept. 16 when the Huskers take on University of Oklahoma on Sept. 17 at Memorial Stadium.

Huskers will have their season opener with Northwestern at the Aer Lingus Classic in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday, Aug. 27.

The airline is adding more than 120 flights for more than 45 of the season’s biggest games and using larger aircrafts to help more fans get in on the action.

According to a recent survey of the airline’s loyalty customers, more than 80 percent of avid college football fans are likely to fly to see a game this season.
