Tickets -- We recommend using TicketNetwork or ScoreBig for major sporting event tickets. They offer a wide range of options on ticket location, pricing, and travel packages.
Some other strategies: Enter local contests and sweepstakes, or Enter the College Football Playoff random ticket drawing to get tickets at face value.
Airfare -- Use Expedia or Kayak to check all possible flights.
Hotels & Accommodations -- Look at all options including budget hotels, bed and breakfasts, vacation home rentals, and family / friends. Here are some options:
- Airbnb
- Hotels.com
- Booking.com

Transportation -- Since traffic and parking will be a nightmare see if you can carpool, take public transportation, or even walk if you're lucky enough to be close by.
