So far in 2012, tickets to NFL preseason games have sold for an average of $46 on TicketNetwork.com, a more than 20% increase over last season-s average of $36. Last year-s lower prices can be attributed in part to the lockout between the players and owners, which was not settled until late July 2011.
“The late resolution to the 2011 lockout created some hesitance among casual fans, driving down ticket prices,” explains Tim Fraser, sports specialist at TicketNetwork.com. “But with the league on solid footing heading into the 2012 preseason, confidence is back up and demand is higher.”
The same pricing trend is seen in ticket sales for regular season games, as well. To date in 2012, the average price of tickets sold on TicketNetwork.com has been $170, as opposed to a $151 average during the same calendar period in 2011.
