Colts Wild Card Playoff Tickets Averaging Less Than $200 Per Seat
January 1, 2015
Andrew Luck and the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts ready to welcome the Cincinnati Bengals to Lucas Oil Stadium this Sunday in a pivotal AFC Wild Card Game. Surprisingly enough, Luck’s rise to superstardom hasn’t elevated secondary ticket prices when playoff implications are on the line. Sunday’s game will be the cheapest among all Wild Card matchups this weekend, with the average price for Colts vs Bengals tickets listed at $155.20 and get-in price starting at $58. Luck will look to lead his team into a second straight Divisional Round Game, where the Colts fell to the Patriots in a 43-22 blowout at Gillette Stadium just one season ago.

The Andrew Luck era continues to be a great success for the Indianapolis Colts. Indianapolis clinched the AFc South title last week and they will make their third straight playoff appearance since drafting Luck in 2012. This will also be the Colts' 14th playoff appearance in the last 16 seasons.
Regardless of how the final two weeks play out for the Colts, they're clinched a home game for the Wild Card round. However, the Colts can certainly drop down the No. 4 seed in the playoffs which means their potential Divisional Round opponent is yet to be determined and could either be New England or Denver.
The Colts' Wild Card opponent is also still yet to be determined, too. If the standings played out like they currently are, Indianapolis (as a No. 3 seed) would be hosting the No. 6 seed Ravens. However, there are nine teams vying for three playoff spots heading into Week 16 and there are plenty of scenarios that would change seeding placement in the AFC.
Of the three AFC teams that have clinched a home game so far, Colts playoff tickets are by far the least expensive on the secondary market. However, the Colts also had the least expensive regular season average of the three teams in question at Lucas Oil Stadium. According to TicketIQ, the average price for a games currently going for $181.42 on the secondary ticket market, which is 49.7 percent above the regular season average for tickets at Lucas Oil Stadium for Colts games. The get in price is just $54.
That price is currently less expensive than the Week 7 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which had an average price of $216.12 and the Week 11 game against the New England Patriots, which had an average price of $200.67.
