Patriots Tickets 20% Below Season Average For Sunday's Game vs Raiders
The New England Patriots will host the Oakland Raiders in their home opener at Gillette Stadium this Sunday. The Patriots head home on the heels of their first victory of the season against the Adrian Peterson-less Minnesota Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium. While the Raiders enter Week 3 at 0-2 and are slated to have yet another losing season, the significance of the Patriots’ opening game at home has allowed ticket prices to remain relatively high, though the secondary market average for Sunday’s game will still be below the season average in Foxborough. According to TiqIQ, the average price for Patriots vs Raiders tickets is $257.68 on the secondary market, 20% below the season average of $320.61 for New England Patriots tickets at home. The get-in price for this Sunday’s game starts at $104. Despite having a below season average price, the game is still one of the highest-priced games in the NFL this week.
The Patriots can credit a skewed season average to a home game against the Broncos on November 2, which currently sees a secondary average of $566.63 and will serve as one of the top-priced games in the NFL this season. At 1-1, the Patriots will look to cruise past a depleted Raiders team that has dropped its first two games to the Jets and Texans. The two teams last met in 2011, where the Patriots defeated the Raiders 31-19 at O. co Coliseum in Oakland. The Raiders likely won’t put up much of a fight under rookie quarterback Derek Carr, but the Patriots’ Week 1 loss to the Dolphins proved that New England’s defense is penetrable. The 23-year-old Carr will have to be near-immaculate, however, as Tom Brady and his offense will undoubtedly put up big numbers against the Oakland secondary.
