According to Team Marketing Report’s annual survey of ticket prices reports that the average price to an NFL ticket has risen 3.9% to 74.99, mainly due to the new ticket pricing scheme at the Dallas Cowboy’s new Cowboys Stadium. The Cowboys have the highest priced average ticket cost at $159.65. The highest average ticket price in 2009 for New England Patriots tickets which have kept prices the same in 2009. If the Cowboys had kept their prices the same, then price for an NFL ticket would only have been 0.6 percent higher than 2008’s $72.20. Other teams with other high average ticket prices include the Chicago Bears, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets. Prices for the 2010 football season are sure to rise next year as the New York Giants and New York Jets both move into their new home, the New Giants stadium. Link to 2009 NFL Fan Cost Index PDF.

Average Prices for NFL Tickets Rise
Saturday, September 12th, 2009Giants and Jets PSLs
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Really seems like the Giants and Jets may have picked the exact worst time to get into the Personal Seat License market.
The new stadium took so long to get funding and get approved that the Giants and Jets seem to have been counting their chickens before they hatched. It may have seemed like a great modern idea a few years ago, but with the economy in turmoil, how can the Giants and especially the Jets ask their long-time loyal fans to shell out tens of thousands of hard earned dollars for the right to pay thousands of dollars for tickets to eight football games (possibly 9 in the future)? Forget about the fact that businesses are not spending money on tickets for clients like they used to.
PSLs used to mean that the owner had the right to buy tickets for every event at that stadium, who gets priority when Bruce Springsteen plays the new venue? The Jets will have upper sections that will not have PSLs, but both teams seem willing to screw over a generation of football fans for the lure of easy cash. What happens if those PSLs don’t sell? Will there be empty seats or will the Jets and Giants blink and reduce the price of the PSLs?
