Purchasers arrived... buyers saw... Prospective purchasers logged on and quickly depleted Ticketmaster's supply of NFC title game tickets on Tuesday.
With that online attendance — which included a line of thousands when tickets went on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Tuesday — the cheapest chance many fans had of attending the NFC championship game gone as fast as it arrived. It demonstrated what secondary ticket market gurus had anticipated since the Philadelphia Eagles' game against the San Francisco 49ers was arranged for Sunday: this was going to be a scorching hot ticket.
The game's admission ticket (the cheapest seat in the stadium or standing room only) was approximately $700 before surcharges late Tuesday night.
The NFC game isn't the only one. According to TicketIQ statistics on Monday afternoon, the average single ticket price for the AFC championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals was $1,218. That was the most costly average AFC title game pricing the outlet had ever tracked, and the fourth-highest of any conference title game. These stats do not include playoff games played at a lower capacity because to the COVID-19 epidemic.
So, how does this affect prospective Super Bowl sales? It's too early to know because the game's matchup has yet to be determined. However, the current pattern of strong division and conference championship ticket sales might set up another big price tag for Super Bowl tickets.
"The current average list price for a [Super Bowl] ticket is $9,527, which is incredibly costly even for a Super Bowl," Lawrence remarked. "Prices will probably not stay that high, but if they do, it will be the most expensive Super Bowl we've recorded."

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
