So many eyes are on the Patriots-Broncos game this week that I nearly forgot there was another game going on for a trip to the Super Bowl.
It seems like the demand for each game speaks the same. No offense to those intent on seeing Panthers versus Cardinals, but it’s no match in interest to Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning Part XVII.
Data from Vivid Seats shows the median ticket price for the AFC championship game is $686. In comparison, the NFC championship game has a $450 median price.
Tickets for both games have already been delegated solely to secondary markets.
In Denver, a little more than than 5,000 tickets sold out in about 10 minutes Monday.
According to the Broncos, about 85 percent of their season ticket holders purchased playoff tickets. They regularly get first dibs on the playoff market.
Tickets for the Broncos-Patriots, as of Thursday afternoon, began at $194 and went all the way up to $2,200 a ticket on Vivid Seats.
The cheapest ticket for the Panthers-Cardinals game on the website was $147.
Sports Authority Field seats approximately 3,000 more fans than the Panthers’ homefield, Bank of America Stadium.
