NOTRE DAME-USC TICKETS STILL GETTING THE BIG BUCKS: Just because a marquee college matchup has lost a little luster, doesn’t mean the ticket prices have tailed off.

This weekend’s game between Notre Dame and USC can still fetch a hefty sum, with seats going as high as $1200.

Who wouldn’t want to shell out that much dough to see a 1-6 team host a squad that’s lost to Stanford and barely beat Arizona?

INSIDE SOCAL further notes that the average cost to see the Irish face the Trojans is hovering around $500 a pop. Even more interesting is that one ticket site says almost half their ND-USC inventory was purchased by California residents.

Because there’s nothing like escaping Los Angeles for northern Indiana in mid-October.
