High-dollar tickets

Seattle Seahawks fans are known for their loud support of their team, which enjoys a distinct advantage at CenturyLink Field. It turns out that the “12s” (not to be confused with Texas A&M’s proprietary “12th Man”) are also putting their money where their roaring mouths are.

At an average of $466, prices for Seahawks tickets are the NFL’s highest on the secondary market, edging out the Patriots ($461) and Broncos ($454). This information comes from TicketIQ , which claims to “provide consumers with the most comprehensive set of secondary market options” and put together a report on “the state of the NFL ticket market heading into the 2016 season.”

The next 10 teams after the top three in terms of average ticket price rank as follows: Bears ($377), Packers ($372), Steelers ($339), Giants ($321), Vikings ($315), Cowboys ($303), Rams ($284), Eagles ($247), Redskins ($238) and 49ers ($238). In the case of San Francisco, which went 5-11 last season, that represents a 40 percent decline from 2014, its first at brand-new Levi’s Stadium.

The Jaguars were at the bottom in average secondary-market ticket price at $141, followed by the Chiefs ($143), Browns ($145), Colts ($152) and Lions ($154).

If Cowboys fans are disappointed to see their beloved squad rank just ninth in highest ticket price, they’ll be happy to know that Dallas checked in as the most coveted road draw, at an average of $363 for its games away from AT&T Stadium. The next five most-attractive visiting teams were the Packers ($349), Patriots ($300), Bears ($280), Seahawks ($277) and Panthers ($274).
