NFL Tickets News

Coming in at number 8 on FanSnap’s NFL FanDemand rankings is the Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens are a real threat to win the AFC North this coming season. Third year starter Joe Flacco will look to lead an improved offense into the post season. The Ravens did a good job of bolstering the receiving core around him as well, with the signing of Anquan Boldin. He, with veteran Derrick Mason, can really stretch defenses, and this duo is one to be feared by any defense in the league. And when you one of the top running backs in the league, Ray Rice, you have a potent offense that will put up some serious points and yardage.

The fact that Baltimore Ravens tickets are ranked 8th on FanSnap’s FanDemand rankings is a testament to the overall excitement around the team and its potential to win  games this season.

The Baltimore Ravens start the season off on the road against the New York Jets, which is one of the most exciting match-ups of the opening week. Both teams are drastically improved since last year, and whoever comes out on top will be in good shape for the rest of the season. Check out some great deals on Ravens-Jets tickets at FanSnap.

At #9 on FanSnap’s FanDemand list is the Washington Redskins.

The ‘Skins are a much changed team since last season. The organization has made a number of important signings and trades. Among the most important is the signing of ex-Denver Bronco coach Mike Shanahan, who will undoubtedly change the nature of the team and the way it plays.

The Washington Redskins other key addition is quarterback Donovan Mcnabb, who will have to play a few games against his previous team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Rounding out the attack for the Redskins is Clinton Portis, who played a season under Shanahan in Denver in 2002-2003. Portis won a Rookie of the Year award under Shanahan’s run heavy offense, so look for him to have a killer year under his old coach.

Washington Redskins tickets are among the hottest in the country this season, and their tough schedule proves this point. The ‘Skins start with their home opener against the Dallas Cowboys, one of the most anticipated match-ups of the opening week. Check out FanSnap for some Best Value Cowboys-Redskins tickets. For example, find seats in Zone A Club Level 320 for $330, which is 61% off the average price of tickets in this section.

And don’t miss the game when McNabb’s old team, the Philadelphia Eagles come to DC on November 15. For the best possible Eagles-Redskins tickets at the greatest possible value, look no further than Fansnap.

To kick off our NFL Ticket Preview special, we start with #10 on FanSnap’s Pre-Season Rankings, the San Diego Chargers.

The Chargers are always a well respected team coming out of the West Coast. This year, they are on the hunt for their fifth straight AFC West title, without the likes of star running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Although this puts a serious damper on the Bolts running attack, quarterback Phillip Rivers may be among the most talented in the league. With tight end Antonio Gates and wide receivers Vincent Jackson and Malcolm Floyd completely the passing game, Rivers will lead an extremely potent Chargers offense, with a keen eye towards the playoffs.

San Diego Chargers tickets are highly sought after this year, which is understandable considering the more anticipated match-ups within their schedule. The New England Patriots are due to visit Southern California on Sunday October 24th. Average prices for Patriots-Chargers tickets are $303 on the secondary ticket market: this is 12% increase over their season long average ticket price of $272.

Last month, FanSnap released their NFL 2010 Pre-Season Rankings: Average Ticket Prices for Upcoming Season. Among the top ten teams with the highest average ticket prices were a few surprises, as well as a few expected results. But this is the list we will use as our base for our NFL team-by-team ticket preview. In case you forgot:

We’ll break the top ten down, team by team. We want to give you an idea of what the hottest match-ups, according to ticket prices, are for each teams schedule. We’ll also briefly look at the first few games of the season and point out FanSnap infamous “Best Value Tickets”. So for all for your NFL ticket needs, remember one word: FanSnap.

We all recall Brett Favre retiring and then unretiring and re-retiring and re-unretiring. Favre has caught flack for being indecisive in the past and has always taken it in stride. Last year, Vikings fans expected Favre to join the team for the 2009 season. When, instead Favre announced his retirement Vikings ticket prices on the ticket market dropped dramatically. Ticket prices stayed down for weeks until Brett Favre announced he would re-unretire and indeed play for Minnesota in 2009. The Favre Effect on Vikings tickets was dramatic.

This year Vikings fans suffered similarly when Favre debated returning for the 2010 season after ankle surgery. After an indecisive off-season. Favre is back with the Vikings for another Super Bowl run. Fans too are on board. Demand for Vikings tickets on the ticket market has jumped by an average of more than $50 per ticket for home games.

The hottest Vikings home games are:

1. Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings tickets average $230
2. Dallas Cowboys @ Minnesota Vikings tickets average $182
3. Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings tickets average $150
4. Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings tickets average $122
5. New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings tickets average $121
6. Buffalo Bills @ Minnesota Vikings tickets average $98
7. Miami Dolphins @ Minnesota Vikings tickets average $98
8. Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings tickets average $91

The hottest Vikings away games are:

1. Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints tickets average $587
2. Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers tickets average $466
3. Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears tickets average $311

There are a number of different underlying stories to look out for this weekend. Tim Tebow, two-time National Champion and Heisman Trophy Winning quarterback for the Denver Broncos may make his home debut at Invesco Field.  It should be interesting to see how he fits in with the new Denver Bronco’s offense.

We will also see the re-uniting of coach Mike Shanahan and Clinton Portis in Washington. The duo was once potent in Denver from 2002-2003, where Portis won a Rookie of the Year Award under Shanahan’s run heavy offense. Can this team, with the addition of star quarterback Donovan McNabb, mesh well enough in the pre-season to come out firing in September?

The NFL Regular Season is fast approaching, and for football fans anxious to get to the start of the action, they can wet their football palettes in the next few weeks with pre-season football. This weekend, pre-season match-ups will give fans a glimpse into the potential of their team for the upcoming season.

FanSnap collected data from out “FanSnap 60″ in order to look what preseason match-up is most sought after by the fans, according to average ticket price on the secondary market.

1. Detroit Lions @ Pittsburgh Steelers: $94
2. Oakland Raiders @ Dallas Cowboys: $91
3. New Orleans Saints @ New England Patriots: $90
4. Carolina Panthers @ Baltimore Orioles: $81
5. Cleveland Browns @ Green Bay Packers: $78

Pittsburgh Steelers tickets this weekend are drawing the highest average price, which isn’t  at all surprising, considering the Steelers often have some of the hottest tickets in the league.

Although the Cincinnati Bengals are not on this list, an interesting number to note: Before Terrell Owens signed with the Bengals on July 27, ticket prices for this weekend’s preseason game were only $36. As of today, August 12, they are averaging $59, a 58% percent increase.

Don’t miss your chance to see number one pick, Sam Bradford line up in the huddle and throw his first professional pass. St. Louis Rams tickets go on sale tomorrow, August 6 at 10 a.m.

What can we expect from the former Oklahoma Sooner who sat out most of last year with a shoulder injury? Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo had this to say about his QB: “He’s got some feisty to him. I think that’s good in a quarterback.”

The team is going to need that spunk to reverse last year’s NFL-worst 1–15 record. The Rams bring back Steven Jackson who’s hopefully in store for another Pro Bowl year. The featured back rushed for 1,416 yards last year, second in the NFL and the fifth year in a row he’d topped 1,000.

The Rams have a favorable start to the season facing a post Kurt Warner Cardinal team, followed by games with Oakland and Washington. See below for the full Rams’ schedule and keep it right here for the latest on all the hottest NFL Tickets.

Raider Nation get ready! Oakland Raiders single game tickets go on sale to the public tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

With the addition of Jason Campbell and a return of one of the league’s top pass defenses, the Raiders should be one of the most improved teams in 2010 and will hopefully break their streak of losing seasons.

Of course Campbell won’t solve all of the team’s issues alone. Will his offensive line step up? Will Darren McFadden and Michael Bush be able to sustain a running game? And will the run defense manage to hold off some of the best backs in the league? We’ll find out the answer to that last question in week one when the Raiders match up against Chris Johnson and the Titans in Nashville. The team’s home opener will be in week two. Grab Raiders-Rams tickets to be in the stands to cheer on the team.

The Raiders have a winnable schedule, facing only three teams that made the playoffs last year. See below for the 2010 Raiders schedule and stay tuned right here as the season goes on for the latest on Oakland Raiders tickets.

Seattle Seahawks tickets went on sale today for those hoping to be on the sidelines for Pete Carroll’s first season.

This is going to be an intriguing year for the Seahawks. Carroll, starting his 3rd stint as an NFL coach, is already making waves trading key players away and bringing in new talent to challenge veterans. QB Matt Hasselback returns and the team desperately needs him to stay healthy to have a chance to win. He has two of his favorite receivers back in TE John Carlson and TJ Houshmandzadeh, not to mention the addition of rookie Golden Tate who should also get solid playing time.

On the defensive front, there’s no where to go but up. The team ranked a lousy 30th in the NFL in pass defense. Look for former Longhorn and first round draft pick Earl Thomas to get the start at safety and hopefully make some big plays.

In case you missed out on getting Seattle Seahawks tickets from the box office, you can always search for them with FanSnap. We can help you find great deals on all the hottest NFL tickets.

This week, we compared the overall average ticket prices for home game by each NFL team. The results were significant and telling: the average price of a ticket to and NFL home game at this time last year was $154. In 2010, tickets average $252. That’s right: a 64% increase in NFL ticket prices from the 2009 season to the 2010 season.

To make sense of this increase in NFL tickets, it is important to look at the overall state of the economy from last year to this year. Simply, our nation is in better economic shape now than it was a year ago — at least in the minds of fans. And, with this improvement, NFL fans are more capable of purchasing tickets and attending games. That is to say, demand for NFL tickets has increased, and with that demand comes a higher price for your average ticket.

At this time last year, the Dow was at was dangerously close to dipping into the 8000s. It’s up to 10497 today. The NASDAQ too is up 15%. Other indicators are also trending up, but not as much as the market for NFL tickets.

It’s a new era of football in Carolina. Want to be in the stands to check it out? Tomorrow’s your big day. The team is putting Carolina Panthers tickets on sale at 10 a.m.

With nine new starters this will be quite a different Panther team than what fans saw last season. QB Jake Delhomme is gone as is the star of the team’s defense, Julius Peppers. Replacing Delhomme is likely to be Matt Moore, at least for the start of the season. But look for rookie Jimmy Clausen to get ample playing time. Whoever it is, they’ll hopefully be throwing to Steve Smith, one of the game’s great wide-receivers. Smith broke his arm playing flag football this summer but is expected to be back in time for the start of the season. The Panthers also have a dangerous running back tandem in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. If the team is going to be successful, they need another strong year out of those two.

A lot of people are overlooking the Panthers due to all of the changes, but this still is a dangerous team that could wreak some havoc. They are in a division with the defending Super Bowl champion Saints and the up and coming Atlanta Falcons so the playoffs are probably a long shot, but the newly acquired youth also brings a lot of energy and optimism.

Like all teams, the Chargers roster saw some changes but none bigger than the change at running back. After nine years of LT, fans will be looking at a new face, rookie Ryan Mathews. First chance to see him will be the team’s preseason opener on Aug. 14 against the Chicago Bears. The Chargers also host a pre-season game against the Dallas Cowboys. In addition to Mathews, the team is clearly expecting big things out of Antonio Gates. They gave him a nice contract extension this week making him the highest paid TE in the league.

Big games will be plentiful at Qualcomm this year. The home opener is a face-off with Maurice Jones-Drew and the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 19. Hot tickets should include:

**Patriots-Chargers tickets on Oct. 24

**Titans-Chargers tickets on Halloween Day Oct. 31

**Broncos-Chargers tickets on Nov. 22

Once again the Chargers should be in hunt for the division title. They’ve now won the AFC West five straight years, but still the Super Bowl has alluded them. Will this be their year? Make sure to grab your San Diego Chargers tickets so you can be in the stands to watch this exciting season.

Chris Johnson had a monster year last year as many fantasy football players know. Can he repeat is the big question? Tennessee Titans tickets go on sale tomorrow giving football fans a chance to check out the phenom in person.

In addition to Johnson, the team is chocked full of players who could break plays at any minute. Vince Young will lead the team at QB. He shocked his many doubters taking over for a win-less Kerry Collins and leading the team to a 8–2 record as the starter. His primary target was rookie Kenny Britt. Even in his first year Britt proved to be a dangerous weapon, leading the team in receiving yards. Chances are he’ll continue to be a prime target for young and should easily top last years total.

While the Titans offense is definitely exciting to watch, the defense ranked a woeful 28th in the league last season. The team drafted a number of players to add to the unit and also has seen some injuries heal so fans have a lot to be optimistic about.

Unsure which Tennessee Titans tickets to grab? The team has a great schedule. They open with the Oakland Raiders on Sep 12 and also have exciting home match-ups against the Steelers, Broncos, Eagles, Colts, Redskins, Texans and Jaguars.

Miami’s had a lot of sports excitement this month with LeBron’s DECISION. But now its time to turn to football. Miami Dolphins tickets go on sale Saturday — the same day training camp begins.

Fans that are attending training camp have access to a special pre-sale an hour before Dolphins tickets go on sale to the general public.

Outside of LeBron another big time player made his way to South Beach during the off-season. Brandon Marshall, the former Bronco could light up the Dolphins passing game and be the play-maker the team has been looking for. He should provide a nice balance to the running back tandem of Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown.

The Miami Dolphins have a tough season and match-up against some of the NFLs top teams. The team’s first home game is against New York Jets on Sept. 26. The game will be part of the NFL’s signature Hispanic Heritage series and include a performance by Grammy award-winning artist Marc Anthony. The Dolphins-Jets ticket should be a popular one as well as Dolphins-Patriots tickets for the Oct. 4 Monday Night Football game.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald posted a message today on twitter, “We need you filling stadium and being loud again!” Fans ready to heed his call can grab single game Arizona Cardinals tickets on Saturday, starting at 10 a.m.!

While the Cardinals bring back a ton of talent including Fitzgerald, they’ll have a new face at the QB spot following the retirement of Kurt Warner. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see what Matt Leinart will do. First peek is likely on Saturday when training camp kicks off. Local fans can check out the team in person by making the drive to Flagstaff. Other things to watch for – how will Steve Breaston do in taking over for Anquan Boldin? And will the team put a greater emphasis on running the ball now that they have a less experienced play-caller. Could this be the year of Beanie Wells?

The team’s home opener isn’t until week three when the Oakland Raiders come to town. Wanting to grab tickets for the BIG games. We’re betting the two most popular will be a rematch with the Saints, the team that knocked the Cardinals out of the playoffs, and a Christmas Day game against the Cowboys.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on July 30 for those fans looking to attend individual games.

The Bucs will host two preseason games, the first is Aug. 21 against Kansas City and the second is Aug. 28 against in-state rival Jacksonville.

Fans hoping to check out the regular-season home opener can purchase Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets for the Sept. 12 game against Cleveland. The team will also host games against Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Detroit and Seattle, plus NFC South rivals Atlanta, New Orleans and Carolina.

The Bucs did a lot to bolster their defense by drafting Gerald McCoy and Brian Price. Those two could have an immediate impact on the team and cause numerous headaches for opposing offenses. On the other side of the ball the team has high hopes for TE Kellen Winslow. He had a great 2009 and is finally showing signs of leadership. He should be a welcome target for QB Josh Freeman.

The Bucs play in a talented division which sets up some great games for fans. Circle Friday on your calendar to grab your Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets.

Kansas City Chiefs tickets go on sale Friday, July 30 at 10 a.m. for the general public, but Jackson County taxpayers can grab theirs early by bringing their property tax receipt to the stadium starting Wednesday.

While last year’s record was just 4-12, the Chiefs are quite optimistic about the year ahead. They ended the year with a rout of the Denver Broncos as well as one of the league’s most dazzling running backs, Jamal Charles. And with the addition of Thomas Jones, the team should have one of the best RB duos around. Now what the team does with them could be a whole other story. The team brought in Charlie Weis to lead the offense and if his time at Notre Dame is any indication, play calling could be interesting!

The team isn’t the only thing going though a change. Kansas City Chiefs ticket holders will also enjoy Arrowhead Stadium’s $375 million face-lift adding some modern day luxury to what has always been viewed as one of the most electrifying NFL stadiums. Chiefs-Chargers tickets will likely be the most popular game of the season as the defending division champs help open the season on Monday Night Football.

It’s been 13 years since the Chiefs last made the playoffs. While they probably won’t end that streak this year, the transformation is definitely in process and it could be an exciting season to watch.

The New York Giants are a middle-of-the-pack 16 on the ESPN list, but the G-men are tops in ticket demand in part because they play out of the biggest sports market in the U.S. But, The Giants and the New York Jets share something that is driving up demand and ticket prices — their brand new home, the New Meadowlands Stadium.

There are a few surprising results on our list, especially the New England Patriots rank of 27th in fan demand. Boston sports teams are consistently some of the hottest in all of sports. This year, Pats ticket prices are down compared to the rest of the NFL.
