The Lions of Detroit were faced with increased criticism from supporters to increase the price of tickets for the majority of members of the season.
Since last year, the price of tickets has jumped on average 20 to 30% for the coming season.
Addressing journalists during the annual meetings of the owners, the president of the Rod Wood team indicated that he had not heard many complaints, apart from the brokers who sold tickets to profit. Detroit, like many NFL teams, follows ticket sales and has the possibility of stopping suspicious brokers to be able to buy tickets.
“And you know, our match against the commanders was the price of the first season n ° 1 ticket other than a super bowl in the history of the NFL. The two games of the previous year Do. “So our fans are hungry to go to the Lions’ game.
“You see them on the road, how they travel with us. It is just a function of demand and the capacity of prices at some point, I think, it is always just compared to what other teams assess their tickets, and well below what the costs of the secondary market.”
The request for tickets for the Lions games has certainly skyrocketed. Eliminatory matches at Ford Field, the last two seasons, have produced some of the most expensive tickets to enter the game in the history of the NFL.
“We are not cutting our tickets at $ 404 (used market). We are less than $ 200 on average,” said Wood. “So we are not going to go to $ 400, but we will try to increase it to recognize what the market will wear.”
