Game 1 Preseason Tickets Pretty High!

I picked out one seat, it was in the lower level bowl. Shipped, its like 200 something bucks. Are they priced like this because its a Prime time game? espn 8pm kickoff?

You're paying $200 to watch a pre-season game? Wow...

I'll be enjoying it in front of my HDTV at home, unless I'm able to secure tickets from someone at work who doesn't want them.

Ugh, I'd never pay $200 to see a preseason game.

Now if only I could score my tickets to Heinz Field for this year. Screw going to Cleveland the day after Christmas.

Buy some off Craigslist the week before for 1/3 of the price....

Ohhhh, good... don't! You could find a regular season game (probably not lower bowl) for a lot less than that.

Keep at eBay.

I just got 4 tickets lower level 15 rows back for $150 for the Carolina Preseason game.

Don't get hosed by the brokers.

First, thats a crazy price for a preseason game, wow! I paid $450 for two tix (lower Mezzanine level) plus parking to the Ravens @ Jets Monday night game.

Second, Like ATD said, I would not trust craigs-list for something like tickets. Buying a weed-whacker, yes.


EDIT: I got mine on eBay as well, you're covered in case of BS.

Just like anything else, certain steps to protect yourself are in order..... I've purchased 3 sets of game tickets from c-list, without issue. You just have to use your brain and solid judgement.
