Very few people. It's likely a bunch of these scalpers weren't able to offload their tickets at these prices

    Very few people

    A very small percentage of people still turns into a large number of people in a population large enough.

    How many people in the US can afford to pay $10,000 per year on entertainment? Maybe anyone who makes more than $200k per year? That might be 5% of the population, or about 17 million Americans. Not all of them will be fans of college football, much less one of the two specific teams playing, but it's still not that hard to find a few tens of thousands of humans with lots of disposable income and the means to make their way to a specific game.
