a friend and I are flying to the US to watch Raiders vc Broncos on dec 2nd.
we paid $250 a ticket (50yard line, row 3) but when we recieved the tickets they were oriced with $96. why the big difference?

and yes.. I have no problem paying $250 for the tickets. they are worth it to me. the reason why I asked is just that when you buy tickets on the internet in Denmark you only pay what the ticket originally cost. so just wondering :) and really looking forward to the game :)

Hahaha...because Raider tickets are really hard to get, depending on the team we are playing. I bought tickets to the Raiders vs Colts game on Dec. 16th for $61 and have seen people selling them, in the same section for $200-$400. I am a huge Raiders fan, but would never pay that much for tickets.

as long as people are willing to pay it why not ask for it? Go to stub hub , ebay, anywhere selling second hand tickets and you will see inflated prices. The bottom line is if the maket bears it then prices will continue to go up.

free market economy- that theory says you paid $250 per seat, therefore they must be worth $250.

because ticket brokers can get away with that...if a guy on the street charged that he would get arrested.... but yes $250 per ticket is a good price

The laws of supply and demand.

good seats!, scalpers have to make their cut unfortunately, enjoy the game, dress warm!

Buying tickets secondhand is a crap-shoot. I would personally rather watch the game at home on television than pay an overinflated price for them.

It can swing both ways though. For my birthday this year, my wife got us tickets to go to the PGA Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta. We got the tickets for half of their face value...sometimes you score lucky, sometimes not so much.
