Currently, the average resale ticket price for the highly-anticipated game is $1,127, and the get-in price is $557, according to data from SeatGeek shared with TheStreet. The prices also include taxes and additional fees. SeatGeek cites that the playoff matchup has even surpassed the demand for the upcoming Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers game on Jan. 20, which is the second most in-demand playoff game SeatGeek has seen ahead of the weekend.
The anticipation surrounding the Lions has been on the rise in recent weeks, and the ticket prices surrounding the team’s recent games certainly reflect that. For the team’s playoff game with the LA Rams on Jan. 14, which SeatGeek notes is the second most in-demand Lions game it has ever seen, reportedly had a get-in ticket price of $402. Tickets for that game were priced higher than any other NFL playoff game that took place that weekend.
