You know us. Whenever there’s sports, theater or concert news, we like to take a look and see if that news is impacting fans’ desire for tickets. This morning was no exception. No, we’re pretty sure the Royal Wedding did not impact live event tickets. The 2011 NFL draft, however, may have gotten fans excited about their team.

We took a look at the average ticket market price for each NFL team’s home games. Like the stock market, ticket market prices can swing wildly on big news. Big news like LeBron taking his talents to South Beach or the Vikings signing Bret Favre… twice… can have a big impact on tickets.

Fans understand the NFL draft rarely yields players that can have the sort of immediate impact of a Favre, Vick or James so the the swings in ticket prices are more muted. Still, with everyone and their brother grading teams on how they did in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, we thought we take a look from the fans point of view.

TICKET DEMAND ON THE RISE
The vast majority of teams saw ticket market prices fall today, but there were a few exceptions. The Pittsburgh Steelers took Cameron Heyward (DT, Ohio St.). Today tickets market prices for Steelers home games are up $5. Steelers tickets were by far the big gainer.

Other teams with tickets up today were the Ravens (Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado), the 49ers (Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri), and the Saints (Cameron Jordan, DE, California and Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama).

SOFTENING TICKET DEMAND
The Titans (Jake Locker, QB, Washington), Bears (Gabe Carimi, OL, Wisconsin), Jags (Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri) and Texans (J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin) saw ticket demand wane by as much as $12. There are two quarterbacks on that list. Could it be fans upset about missing out on the Cam Newton sweepstakes?

We’re only through the first round of the 2011 NFL draft. There are bound to be more great picks, trades and holes filled that will excite some fans and worry others. We’ll keep our eyes on the data.

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.

The New Orleans Saints were perhaps the feel good story of the 2009-10 NFL season. Sure, the triumphant return of Brett Favre as a Viking was a huge story and a huge ticket story — especially when you look at the impact of Favre’s return on Vikings and Packers tickets as well as for many of the other teams Minnesota faced. The Jets too gave the Saints a run for their money in the feel-good NFL story department, but in the end the Saints and the Who-Dat nation made us all cheer for a city we all feel that we’re a part of and for the team they called the Aints just a few years ago.

Now the Saints have the unenviable task of defending their Super Bowl title. Teams that win the Lombardi trophy are rewarded with a tough schedule and the Saints are no different. Saints tickets were some of the hottest in the NFL in 2009-10. We expect them to be hotter this year — both home and away. Here’s how things stack up for the Saints and traveling Saints fans this year.

New Orleans Saints Home Schedule
week 1    Thu, Sept. 9     vs. Minnesota Vikings
week 3    Sun, Sept. 26   vs. Atlanta Falcons

week 11  Sun, Nov. 21   vs. Seattle Seahawks
week 14  Sun, Dec. 12   vs. St. Louis Rams

New Orleans Saints Away Schedule

For the second playoff game in a row, the Arizona Cardinals D gives up 45 points. This time Kurt Warner and the Cardinals can only muster 14 points. The Saints put on a scoring clinic. Reggie Bush had 200+ total yards and 2 TDs in the Saints win. Saints fans are hoping for more of that when the Saints welcome the Vikings or Cowboys to the Superdome for the NFC Championship game next week.

After taking out the Atlanta Falcons tonight on Monday Night Football, the New Orleans Saints find themselves 7-0, along with the Indianapolis Colts the only undefeated teams, and the hottest of NFL tickets.

What’s the secret to this years’ breakthrough?  Running back Reggie Bush? Receiver Marques Colston?  Maybe it’s Drew Brees’ pregame chant?  Oh yeah, he plays a little QB as well.
