You think it’s expensive to attend a Steelers game? Try purchasing tickets to a New England Patriots game.
Season tickets purchased through the 32 NFL teams aren’t cheap, but those prices look affordable when it comes to scalping a ticket or getting one online, especially if the game takes place in Foxborough, Mass.
A ticket to a Patriots home game is almost twice as much as a Steelers home game. According to vividseats.com, a secondary ticket marketplace, the average price for a ticket to a Pats game is $431 while a Steelers home game will only set you back $255.
The Patriots rank first on a list of the most expensive NFL tickets; the Steelers eighth.
The cheapest ticket in the NFL is to a Cleveland Browns game, which currently can be had for $106. The average price for an NFL ticket on the secondary market is $203.75.
If you’re a Steelers fan and thinking about flying to Boston (or Providence) for the Patriots game on Nov. 3 you might want to think again. The average ticket price for that game is $534. It’s the second-most-expensive ticket in the NFL this season, topped only by the Nov. 24 game between the Broncos and Patriots in New England. The others in the top five priciest games are: Baltimore at Denver ($470), New Orleans at New England ($461) and Green Bay at Chicago ($458).
The most expensive ticket to a game at Heinz Field this season is when the Chicago Bears come for a visit. The average price is $284 for the Sept. 22 game.
