Lions-Commanders Playoff Game Ticket Prices Are Outrageous
NFL fans have been saying for years that the league has priced out the average fan to enjoy a game in person. I'm the biggest NFL fan I know and I've only been to one game, so I can attest to that.
But, it's the nature of the business. Tickets to watch a bad team play are reasonable enough, so it's no surprise that a premiere matchup would come with a heavy price tag. That gets ramped up a few notches when the Detroit Lions are hosting a playoff game, though.

Home playoff games in Detroit are few and far between, as this is just the third ever at Ford Field apart from Super Bowl XL.
The average ticket price, according to Vivid Seat via ESPN, is a whopping $855 per ticket. No, that doesn't include your marked-up beer and hotdog, parking or those dreaded processing fees.
Comparatively, last year's NFC Championship game in San Francisco between the Lions and 49ers had an average ticket price of $783. It's quite likely that should the Lions host the NFC Championship this week it just might be the most expensive game to see in person in NFL history.
This week's game ranks as the third-most expensive ticket in NFL history, according to ESPN. The 2021 AFC Championship Game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs is second at $863. The 2023 NFC Championship Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers holds the title with an average ticket price of $974.
