TCU fans can still snag tickets to the College Football Playoff National Championship.

The TCU Horned Frogs and Georgia Bulldogs will face each other in the championship game at 6:30 p.m. Monday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. ESPN is broadcasting the game both on television and radio.

As of Wednesday, there are over 8,300 championship game tickets available on StubHub’s website. Ticket prices vary depending on seating, but start at $395 and gores up from there.

Leading up to the game, StubHub has released a few tips for fansTCU looking to buy tickets ahead of Monday’s matchup:

  • Never buy tickets off the street — When buying tickets with cash or payment apps, there’s no way to track the purchase to recoup any money if issues arise.

  • Use a trusted service — StubHub is an official partner with TCU and Georgia, selling verified tickets that come with a FanProtect guarantee.

  • Be a savvy shopper — If searching for tickets for a group, try looking for single tickets next to each other to shave money off any package deals.

  • Be careful online with tickets — If sharing images of tickets on social media, people should be careful not to post the barcode, which anyone could copy to steal the ticket.

Monday’s game is on track to surpass the total sales of last year’s championship game between Georgia and Alabama, which according to Stubhub was its fourth highest-selling event globally.

In fact, the total sales for this season’s championship game, Fiesta and Peach Bowl’s, have already equaled last season’s three-game total, according to StubHub.

This season’s Fiesta and Beach Bowl semifinal games had a 15% higher total sales over last season. In addition, the Peach Bowl outsold the Fiesta Bowl this season by nearly 15%, according to the virtual ticket vendor.

“This year’s playoff games have been some of the most exciting in recent memory, with TCU’s upset over Michigan clinching their first-ever championship appearance and Georgia’s last-minute comeback victory over Ohio State,” StubHub spokesperson Adam Budelli said. “The result is a high-demand, highly-anticipated national championship game that is on track to surpass last year’s championship game on StubHub.”
