F
or a team that hasn't
won a big-time bowl
game in 22 years, or
claimed a national cham-
pionship in almost 27
years, and has lost almost
40 percent of its home
games in the last eight
seasons, nothing can ever
scratch the paint or bend
the bumper of the Notre
Dame football program.
The proof is in the prof-
its.
According to an analy-
sis based on current list-
ings from ticket broker
TiqIQ.com and recently
revealed in a story by
Forbes, the secondary (re-
sell) value of 2015 Notre
Dame football tickets is
the highest of any college
program — and it's not
even close in this revenue
rout.
For each of the seven
Irish home games in
2015 — which includes
the Shamrock Series
matchup with Boston
College at Fenway Park
in Boston — the average
Notre Dame single ticket
is reselling for $332.09.
That is nearly $100 per
seat and almost 40 per-
cent higher than second-
place Georgia at $235.47.
Notre Dame's 2015
UNDER THE DOME
STILL RELEVANT
Notre Dame remains easily
the top ticket in college football
Fighting Irish fans have spent an average of $332.09 for single-game Notre Dame tickets in the secondary
market, which is the highest preseason price for any college team in the last five years.
