I think we all knew this was going to happen with ticket prices during the coronavirus pandemic. With capacity limited and demand probably still incredibly high, prices are going to go through the roof.
When supply is limited and demand is high, then the price increases. That’s just basic economics and college football tickets aren’t exempt.
