Gators, Buckeyes faithful spending big bucks for BCS championship
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Susan Jackson started scouting for tickets to the national championship game right after top-ranked Ohio State beat Michigan in November. She kept tabs on the prices as she waited for the Buckeyes' opponent to be selected, and, finally, she purchased three club-level tickets Sunday. The price tag: $9,252, counting the broker's fee and shipping. Jackson, a Phoenix resident, who won't have to pay for airfare or a hotel stay, isn't the only one shelling out big bucks for the big game experience. The game in Glendale, Ariz., between Ohio State (12-0) and No. 2 Florida (12-1) is still three weeks away, but travelers who have yet to make plans likely will have to pay at least $400 just for airfare, more than double that for a ticket and they'll be lucky to find a hotel room in a nearby city — forget about Glendale, it's pretty much booked.
