(DETROIT NEWS) - After Michigan's dramatic Rose Bowl victory Monday night that locked their spot in the National Championship, fans are eager for the team to take on the University of Washington Huskies, who won the Sugar Bowl on Monday.

But even six days before the game, tickets are going for thousands of dollars apiece.

Delta Airlines says they are offering additional flights from Detroit to Houston. 

According to the College Football playoff, the only place to get official tickets is through Ticketmaster.  As of Tuesday, the lowest price for seats was more than $2,300 for two tickets.

The majority of tickets are allocated to the two schools playing. Those tickets are sold directly through the respective universities. The tours authorized by UM are through the alumni association. Alumni association members have the option to buy full packages that include tickets, hotels, souvenirs and more. Anyone 18 and older can become a member of the alumni association, though, regardless of whether they are an alumnus. Memberships are $74 for a year.

According to the university's athletics page, tickets will not be available to the general public.

It's worth noting that NRG is smaller than Michigan Stadium — by more than 35,000 seats. The Big House is famously one of the largest stadiums in the world.
