Patriots Divisional Round Tickets Averaging Nearly $500 Per Seat On Secondary Market
Another NFL regular season has come to an end, another year as the top seed in the AFC for the New England Patriots. Despite all of their recent success and almost annual trips to the Super Bowl, Patriots divisional round playoff tickets are higher than they've been since at least 2011.
According to data from TicketIQ.com, the average asking price for a ticket to New England’s AFC Divisional game on Jan. 13 is already $480, making it the most expensive ticket for a divisional game in New England since TicketIQ.com began tracking data in 2011. The next most expensive game was last year’s divisional game against Houston, for which the average cost was $458. In fact, only two non-Super Bowl playoff games since 2011 have cost more – the 2017 Conference Championship against Pittsburgh ($758) and the 2015 Conference Championship vs. the Colts ($591).
The Patriots, winners of the AFC East, have a bye in the wild-card round and home-field advantage through the playoffs. The soonest they could play their most recent archrivals, the Steelers, would be in the AFC Championship at Gillette Stadium. New England will host the lowest remaining AFC seed after the wild-card round on Jan. 13. Kansas City, Tennessee and Buffalo, whose last playoff appearance was in 1999.
The current average price for the Patriots game is the highest among the four teams with first-round byes. The Eagles, winners of the NFC East, are the only other team with home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
