(UPDATE 11/21/16) Thinking of attending Thursday's NFC East showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins? Expect to pay up if going through the secondary market.

With three Thanksgiving games on the docket this Thursday, none will be more expensive than the divisional meeting at AT&T Stadium. In fact, it will be the second most expensive Thanksgiving game since 2011, according to TicketIQ.

As it stands now, the average resale price for Cowboys vs. Redskins tickets is $509. That marks a 5 percent jump from last Thursday's average of $485. The cheapest tickets are listed from $79 each. Credit that price boost to both teams' Week 11 wins, as the Cowboys improved to a league-best 9-1 while the Redskins sit at 6-3 on the season. Thursday's game in Arlington is trumped only by a 2014 Thanksgiving meeting between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks at Candlestick Park, which owned a $618 average.
