Packers-Lions Among Most Expensive Tickets for NFL Week 18
GREEN BAY, Wis. – A primetime game to get into the NFL playoffs? Yes, Sunday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field is an expensive ticket.
According to data from SI Tickets, the average ticket price is about $370. That makes the game the fourth-most-expensive on the NFL’s Week 18 schedule.
“I’m going to be hearing hopefully close to 80,000 people that didn’t turn their tickets over to Lions fans who are nice and loud like they were last week,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on Wednesday. “Hopefully, we’ll see less other colors. There was quite a bit of purple in the stands. They weren’t very loud as the game wore on, but quite a bit of purple in the stands. Hopefully, there’ll maybe be less blue in the stands this week.”
As of Friday morning, standing-room-only tickets start at $148, with actual seats in Section 302 starting at $169.
Moving a bit closer to the action, there were seats available in Section 131 (above the Packers’ tunnel) on Friday for as low as $262.
Want good seats? Section 120 is at midfield and behind the Green Bay bench. Seats in that section start at $375 and range up to $642.
There also are some club seats available for $440 and up.
With the Packers having won four consecutive games to put themselves in prime position for the final spot in the NFC playoffs, ticket prices for playoff reservations have increased. The average Super Bowl reservation is $415. While that is about half the preseason price of $869, it’s increased steadily the past few weeks – up from $107 before beating the Rams, $251 from before beating the Dolphins and $304 from before beating the Vikings.
Before beating the Bears four weeks ago to start their winning streak, lower-level end-zone reservations were $61 for the conference championship and $89 for the Super Bowl. Now, after four consecutive wins, those prices are $85 and $391. Divisional-round reservations are no longer available.
