Fans wanting to cheer on Georgia or Alabama alongside more than 70,000 of their closest friends still have plenty of options. Online brokers are still showing a good bit of inventory.

Tickets aren't a steal by any stretch but haven't climbed back to the eye-popping levels they started at shortly after Georgia's historic Rose Bowl victory.

NEW: Plenty of rooms, but Atlanta hotels are holding out for top dollar

At the moment Vivid Seats has seats starting at $1,393. Earlier this week the lowest price was more than $1,900. Stubhub's lowest priced offering is $1,428.

The biggest bargain, relatively speaking, appears to be in the suite seats. A private, 30-person suite on the 40-yard line was listed for $196,473 - $6,549 per spot - earlier this week. At the moment there's a 22-person suite going for $87,113 - $3,959 each.

And if you don't mind a ticket in a shared suite, that sort of real estate can be had for $37,50 at SuiteHop .
