To honor those injured and killed in the Boston Marathon bombings, Notre Dame players wore helmets with a B and a shamrock logo on them during the Blue-Gold spring football game, April 20, 2013, in South Bend, Ind.

What does it cost to go to a college football game these days? A lot at certain schools. A survey of average ticket prices published by Business Insider, shows that Notre Dame leads the TiqIQ price rankings with an average price of $294, the highest in the nation.

Attending a game at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind., has long been a special experience given the school’s football tradition, but making the national championship game last year only put a higher premium on tickets this year, resulting in a 43 percent increase. Following Notre Dame in the rankings are Ohio State ($246), Michigan, ($230) and Nebraska ($210), all members of the Big Ten Conference.

In case you’re wondering, at Alabama, which has won national titles three of the last four years, the average ticket price is $179.
