Official 2018 NFL football season thread till Super Bowl in Atlanta 2019

[Mr Quatro]

As soon as the New England Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in the AFC Championship game to stamp their ticket to Super Bowl 53, prices on secondary ticketing sites fell. And they have kept falling in the days since.

Across ticket resale sites, average prices for the game this year, as well as “get-in” prices (the cheapest ticket you can buy) were $500 to $1,000 lower on Wednesday than in recent years at this time, 10 days before the game.

In a normal year, Super Bowl ticket prices on resale sites spike after Championship weekend when the games end and we all learn the matchup, and then they start to go down steadily in the week before the game. (The exception was 2015, infamous in the ticketing industry, when the Patriots faced the Seattle Seahawks in Phoenix, Ariz., and demand never waned as it normally does, and many ticket resellers ended up in the red because they had over-sold tickets they did not have.)

This year, prices are already plummeting. On secondary market site TickPick, the get-in price as of Wednesday afternoon was $3,120 compared to the $3,680 at this time last year, and the average price was $5,790 compared to $6,514 at this time last year.
