Jeebus Christ our ticket prices are a bit nuts

[dkmightyhammer]

Me and my son are looking at doing another game this year. So we go looking for tickets. Holy Big Bag of Bucks Batman! The tickets for the opener are already $300 and up. The cheapest seats for the Denver and Dallas games are $250 and up. We could go to the Raiders game for a bargain price of $168 and up. Seattle had the highest priced tickets last year and with us winning the SB it looks like it's got worse.

Meanwhile, if we decided to go to the Hawks at Arizona game we can get seats starting at $80 and up. We are flying either way since we live near Calgary. Might just have to do Christmas in Arizona to save some bucks and stay warm.

Great. My wife and I are flying out to a game this year. We seriously want to go to the home opener and we talked about the Dallas game. I'm going to have to take out a second mortgage it seems.

If you want the home operner go to venue kings. They have quite a few seats around $250 right now. They are trying to dump inventory so those prices won't last long, but they are nearly $100 seat less than other sites right now.

Thanks WizardHawk, I appreciate the info. Will check it out.

Venue Kings is a good place to buy tickets on some occasions. Just remember to check the final price before you buy.

What I mean by this is on Stubhub, the price listed is the price you will pay for (with stubhub commission + delivery fee + whatever else fee already included). With Venue Kings it'll show a lower "ticket price" but after you click to buy and they add on the fees it comes out to being around the same

For example I just clicked on a $248 ticket (lowest priced ticket for seahawks-gb) and the added on fees was $54 + $8 shipping so it comes out to $310 which is higher than Stubhub's lowest ticket ($307)

This is not the time to buy single tix as the only ones available yet are those who have recuring season tix looking for a major payday. Once the single tix go on sale, of course there gone in 5 minutes, but that's when all tixs are out there.

But GB game is going to be bucks no matter what since it's a primetime opener. But I would wait till the single tix sale happens. Then the reseller sites are flooded with inventory and prices will normalize and choices will be better.

But were the SB champs. Prices will be really high this year. GB game is one of those games like SF where everyone is going to be trying to get tix.

GB will be great because it's always fun to beat them.

But god I'm looking forward to the Cowgirls game. I just get perverted pleasure watching us manhandle them at CLink. That's football pron to me.

If you can wait until closer to the day of the game, prices will drop. Last years playoff games were crazy the monday or tuesday before, then the day before the game they were much more reasonable.

No reason for the scalpers to NOT ask for the moon right now....

Being both a buyer and a seller last year. I agree with gowazzu. Waiting gets you much better pricing , the down side is getting to pick where you sit. Waiting gives you less options at times as far as great seats.

Waiting till a few days before the game and monitoring the downgrading of prices by more motivated sellers is always a good call, cause of electronic tickets are available, the is no worries.

But again, the demand for GB is going to huge. The SB banner gets raised properly. Lots of pregame festivities. It's Fn Green Bay coming back to Clink. The city is going to be a madhouse right out of the gate that week.
