There has got to be a better way to try and score tickets for one game.
I was thinking about flying in to KC to see the Bengals game, but not if that's what it's going to take to get inside.
Also just sat through the queue to try and get Chiefs/Panther's tickets. There were eight non-resale tickets available. Resale is going for over $1000 in the lower deck - FOR THE PANTHERS!?
Ticketmaster has lost its ever-lovin' mind. [Reply]
Donks game is the cheapest...starting at $200.00. So that would mean 2 tix, gas to drive down and back, parking fee (I think 60 bucks) tailgating booze...
So like 600 bucks for the experience. Wife would never go for that. Hell, I can't justify it. Guess I'll just have to see. I really wanna go but I can't justify that kind of jack. [Reply]
This is event ticket resale 101. There is tons of hype around the schedule since it just came out. Plus the events are a minimum of 3.5 months out. What does any resale agency or individual have to lose by jacking up the prices? I promise you the few days before the game you want to go to, you'll pay at least half off what they are being sold for now. [Reply]

That's not a guarantee. There are a lot of factors that will go into it (weather, both teams records, etc. ). I recall last year the owner actually escalated in price after they first started going on re-sell. There will be a game or two where the bottom falls out, but most of these are prime time games where the price is going to remain high. [Reply]

Yeah, I was thinking specifically about the Bengals game that the OP referenced. That's a Sunday afternoon game. I will bet you that he can find a ticket for much less than what they are being posted for now the week of that game. [Reply]

And the Panthers game is in Carolina. Maybe people have more money out that way? [Reply]

The trouble with that is there’s no way to economically book a plane and hotel a week out. If you’re an out-of-state fan, you can’t realistically scarf up a ticket the day before.
Not gonna lie. We won't be able to go to the home opener, so I jacked our price up for that game. Home opener, Thursday night game, current (repeat) SB champs, AFC championship rematch, and they'll raise the flag from the last SB win. Supply and demand. Demand will be super high for that game, so we're striking while the iron is hot. [Reply]
