You might think that after a 4-8 season, the national interest in the Notre Dame Fighting Irish might have lessened. Well... maybe it has and maybe it hasn’t, but the exploitation and general fleecing of a fanbase hasn’t diminished one bit.
According to Coaching Search, Notre Dame’s game against the Georgia Bulldogs in South Bend tops the list of the most expensive game for the 2017 season.

The September 9th matchup has been a game that both sides have had circled on their calendar since the announcement. Georgia pretty much never leaves the Southeast for a football game, and this game commands a $499 market price.
Notre Dame also landed at #10 for their home game against the USC Trojans with a price of $210.
Notre Dame has always commanded an audience with their national following, but the fact that they are coming off such an awful season and still is able to make ticket prices rise is impressive.
Just not impressive to Joe Fan trying to not break the bank.
