At State College, where football has long reigned as king and fans are near fanatical in their attendance, the frenzy for football tickets has recently reached an all-time high. With requests for home game tickets at an unprecedented level, prices on everything from parking passes to hotel rooms to home rentals have soared beyond belief. Parking passes were going for $500 on eBay, and hotel rates have doubled—and in some cases nearly tripled—reaching as high as $650 per night at some hotels.
