Default How much do playoff tickets usually cost?

I'm thinking of buying some fanforwards on ticketreserve.com. I'm just wondering what the face value for AFC Championship game tickets usually is?

Right now the fanforwards are around $220. Just trying to figure out if $220 + face value would still be cheaper than Ebay or Stubhub.

Right now the Superbowl fanforwards are selling for $1190 (plus you have to add in face value of $700) so that is way too rich for my blood.

You can always wait and see if San Diego squeaks by for the 1 seed, then change your credit card address to a random address in SoCal and pick up tickets for face the Monday before the game from Ticketb@stard

if you do the math, that site is a terrible scam... think about it, they are promising tix... they arent doing it for free, so someone, the net consumer, is losing.

Yeah but I'll never get a chance at playoff tickets and if its cheaper than Ebay or Stubhub would rape me for, why not?

My other option is to join the waiting list and exercise my fingers on the Pats ticket exchange. Although this year I'm guessing there won't be much available.

those $1890 fanforward seats are crap seats... you can always get SB tix for that price, without risking whether the pats make it or not.

to answer your question though, my AFC championship tix will be around $175 for lower level sideline; fanforwards will be junk 300 corners, plus you have the risk of no game... junk 300 corners will probably face around $100, but im not sure on that one.

ive have gone twice w/friends who had no tix, to two dif home playoff games... dropped them off early at the tix office... they got tix for face both times... they missed the tailgating though... depends what you wanna do i guess.

stubhub will rape you for sure... all the unsold tix from stubhub go on sale on ebay in the last 48 hours... think about it, scalpers dont want the tickets at all... normal thought process for a scalper (they call themselves agents, but they are all the same): list for $500 more than i think they are worth on stubhub, which charges nothing unless they sell... if that doesnt work, 2 days before the game (sometimes one), ill sell them on ebay for whatever i cant get.

I actually kinda like the upper deck anyways, that wouldn't bother me.

So I'd be looking at around $300. Considering that upper deck corners for the regular season are starting at $175, that isn't too bad. Except of course you have the risk of no game if the Pats lose.

I'm down in Tampa so I have to plan ahead.

regular season upper deck corners face at $59, not $175... so sounds like a ripoff to me.. i always buy extra lower level tix for my friends for $125-150... i would never pay $100 for upper level... just gotta wait until 1-2 days pregame when the scalpers panic and dump them on ebay
