It’s been less than 24 hours since Alabama fended off Clemson to claim the second annual CFP championship, but like the old saying goes, it’s never too early to start looking ahead. The 2016 schedule will kick off with a bang, too, as several SEC teams are hosting massive games in early September.

Sure, eight months remain before opening kickoff, but who are we to tell you to curb your enthusiasm? Take a look at four of the most expensive (and exciting) games on the secondary market during opening weekend below, according to TiqIQ.com:

9/3/16 Texas A&M vs UCLA  |  Avg. Price: $778.39  |  Get-in: $175

Texas A&M will open its schedule hosting UCLA in what will be the Bruins’ first-ever trip to Kyle Field. Such a historical game (the two teams have met just five times since 1940) is garnering huge ticket demand on the resale market. The average price for Texas A&M vs UCLA tickets is currently $778.39 and the cheapest ticket available is $175. The big demand bodes well for the Aggies, who despite obvious question marks under center will still own major ticket prices for their home opener in College Station.

9/3/16 Georgia vs North Carolina  |  Avg. Price: $521.54  |  Get-in: $282

45 years have passed since Georgia and North Carolina last met in the 1971 Gator Bowl, and nostalgia is a driving point for ticket prices in the months leading up to their latest matchup in September. It will be Kirby Smart’s first regular season game as Georgia head coach, and best believe nerves will be high as Bulldogs take on a Tar Heels team looking to break from the shackles of mediocrity. Georgia vs North Carolina tickets currently own a secondary market average of $521.54 and the get-in price is $225.

9/3/16 Auburn vs Clemson  |  Avg. Price: $503.87  |  Get-in: $220

Clemson came just short of the perfect season, and there is little doubt that the team makes another run to the CFP again next season. The Tigers kick things off at Jordan-Hare Stadium when they take on Auburn, who struggled to find any sort of rhythm on the field in 2015. They’ll have home field in their favor when they try to cut down the National Championship finalists, beginning a five-game homestand to start the season. The average secondary market price for Auburn vs Clemson tickets is $503.87 and the cheapest ticket is currently $220.

9/3/16 Alabama vs USC @ AT&T Stadium (Cowboys Classic)  |  Avg. Price: $404.90  |  Get-in: $129

It’s fair to say that every game Alabama plays next season will fill the stands, and the opening game of the season against USC in the 2016 Advocare Classic will be no different. Take the perennial powerhouse and defending national champion to Dallas’ AT&T Stadium and ticket demand will reach even greater heights. 2016 Advocare Classic tickets currently average $404.90. As it stands now it will be Alabama’s second most expensive game of the season, trumped only by the 2016 Iron Bowl against Auburn, which owns a $502.20 average. The cheapest Advocare Classic tickets can be found starting from $129.
