If you're a Buckeye fan desperate to witness the team win its ninth national title, we hope you've been saving your pennies.

The intrigue: After a dramatic 28-14 win over Texas, the Buckeyes travel to Atlanta for next Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship against Notre Dame at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

If you want to go: Good luck.

Tickets sold out immediately, but some resale options are fluctuating wildly, starting around $1,600 as of Monday.
Round-trip flights will set you back nearly $500 for a budget option, but over $800 is more likely (even as Southwest adds flights for fans).

The big picture: The title game is the capstone to the inaugural 12-team playoff.

Fans griped about early round blowouts, but the championship will feature two of the highest-profile teams facing off.
