After winning their first playoff game in 30 years, the Detroit Lions have another home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. But if you want to experience this game in real life, it will cost you a lot of money.
A quick look at StubHub on a Tuesday night shows that the cheapest ticket for the worst seats at Ford Field for Sunday’s game in Detroit is around $500. To stay on the lower level, you’ll need at least $590 on a Tuesday night. It’s a similar story with SeatGeek’s Vivid Seats.
The cheapest ticket is $490 (excluding taxes) and the cheapest ticket is $502.To put that into perspective, the price tag is more than double the cost of any other divisional game this weekend. In Buffalo, you can watch the highly anticipated matchup between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes for just $139.
The cheapest seat to the San Francisco 49ers-Green Bay Packers game in Santa Clara costs about $200, while the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens games are only $110. Lions fans have remained loyal through decades of poor football and finally have a team to celebrate and root for. This can be seen by looking at ticket demand.
If the Lions beat Tampa Bay on Sunday, they will advance to the NFC Championship for the first time since 1991. The game could also be played at home if the Packers beat the 49ers this weekend. Considering how expensive divisional round tickets are, ticket prices for a potential conference championship game would be even higher.
