If you feel like purchasing single-game tickets to watch Florida State this year is a significant expenditure, you’re probably not alone.

According to Vivid Seats, median ticket prices to see the Seminoles sit at $110. While that may seem like a lot, it ranks only 18th nationally and is less than half of the cost to see Notre Dame.

Notre Dame had the highest median ticket price at $229 per contest. Florida State’s most in-demand match-up for this season is the Nov. 26 rivalry showdown with Florida. The median ticket price for that game is listed at $258.

That game however, ranked outside the top 25 when it came to median ticket prices for a single game. The highest median price for any game this season according to the data is $499 for the Nov. 26 Alabama-Auburn showdown in Tuscaloosa and the Sept. 17 contest between Ohio State and Oklahoma in Norman.

Ticket prices to see the Seminoles away from Tallahassee are also high. According to Vivid Seats, FSU has the fourth highest impact on opposing median ticket prices at +149 percent.

That means where the median price for a team like Syracuse was normally $100, it would be $249 when FSU came to town. Only Notre Dame, Michigan and Alabama were higher in that category.

The Seminoles will play six home games and five road games in 2016, but the season begins on a neutral field in Orlando. The Seminoles open the season against Ole Miss on Sept. 5.
