why are tickets so cheap?

To me the cheapest seats tell you about demand. You couldn't get into the KC game for under $400! To see prices under $180 for a 2nd round playoff, one that is a matchup for the ages, is a head scratcher.

And it will get cheaper. The way these ticket sites own so many blocks they’re incentivized to artificially drive up prices early. 
 

Nearly every single event I’ve bought ticket to the last few years, the tickets have always gotten cheaper. To the extent I won’t do presale anymore. 
 

EDIT: To add on, I think it then drives down ticket prices more than normal. People see $400 on day one and say they can’t afford it and/or give up on purchasing so they have to slash prices so they aren’t sitting on a million tickets.

Not sure about the stub hub prices, but arent there usually seats that open up close to the game as the opposing team returns unused tickets slated for them?  This isnt rhetorical, I legitimately wondering, but I seem to remember something about that. 

The team usu gets some unused tickets from the opponent a few days before the game iirc.

Yeah, there is a few. They’re not the best seats though.

 

 

Yup, I was surprised at the amount available and some of the prices they’re listed at. Hopefully some of the better seats drop in price as I’m not shelling out $700+ a ticket for the 3 of us to attend. 250-350 is doable. 
 

Might be the 300’s this time 😬

 

 

they are home divisional playoff tickets for under $200....

 

some nice goal-line Bills side ($354 for 2), section 330/row 20.  Those are fine seats.
