There will be four NFL games this weekend as we enter the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. Many believe this weekend, as well as the Divisional Round of the playoffs, are some of the best sports weekends of the year, and ticket prices are certainly indicative of that thought. Each game this weekend is at least 25-30% more expensive than the regular season average price for each team and we can only expect those numbers to rise as the playoffs continue.
And those prices will only escalate as we get closer and closer to the completion of the NFL playoffs. The Super Bowl will be the most expensive game of the year if the past is any indication with last year’s average price above $4,500 after the two conference champions were decided, peaking at $11,000 the weekend before the game.
With so much uncertainty regarding who will be in the Super Bowl and how much tickets will cost once the participants are determined, it’s become increasingly more difficult for fans to purchase tickets. However,
, without knowing who will be in the game.
Once that has taken place, Hedge My Ticket reviews their purchase orders for the remaining teams that can still make the Super Bowl and searches for a ticket purchase “match”. Once a match has been made, Hedge My Ticket utilizes their partnerships with StubHub and the official NFL Ticket Exchange to purchase tickets that are fully guaranteed, so there is zero percent chance of the ticket order not being fulfilled.
After the match has taken place, you would pay a 50% deposit and a non-refundable hedging fee. Then, all you need to do is wait and see if your team makes the big game. If so, you’ll pay the remaining 50% and you have a Super Bowl ticket. If your team loses, you’ll receive the deposit back.
Overall, the Super Bowl ticket market has been one of the murkier markets for fans to navigate. With extreme volatility in prices, as well as the fact that the participants are not known until fourteen days beforehand, it’s been a very difficult process for die-hard fans. Hedge My Ticket may just be able to make buying Super Bowl tickets as easy for fans as if it were any other game.
