With the release of the 2023 NFL schedule Thursday night, the annual feeding frenzy for tickets was set off. And according to data provided by Ticket Club, the Raiders, Cowboys, and Packers fans are hungry. Games in Las Vegas are selling at a faster rate than any other home field, while fans are clamoring to grab tickets to see the Cowboys as the largest road draw. Pittsburgh finds itself in the No. 2 spot in terms of team rankings in both categories.
According to the resale marketplace, the No. 1 selling contest so far on the season is an October 9 showdown in Las Vegas between the Raiders and Green Bay Packers. That game is seeing some high prices for consumers too – the “get-in” minimum right now on the site – which doesn’t charge its members service fees – is $429. The average ticket across the marketplace is seeing a $929 asking price.
Dallas figures in four of those Top 10 hot selling single games, with its visit to San Francisco on October 8 coming in at No. 2 and a trip to Arizona to play the Cardinals at No. 4 while two AT&T home games – September 18 against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets and November 12 against the division rival New York Giants coming on at No. 8 and 9, respectively.
The full rundown of the best-selling single games thus far is below. Notably, just one of the games takes place after Halloween, as fans seem to be scrambling primarily for the opening few weeks of the season so far.
