Las Vegas has been good for the NFL, at least based on ticket demand for the upcoming season. Of the 10 most in-demand games, six involve the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. Four of the top five too, according to VividSeats, which tracks secondary market prices, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Of the five, only Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Bucs game in New England fares better with an average price of $1,376 per ticket. The Raiders’ season opener versus the Baltimore Ravens is second at $944. The Week 10 game against division rival Kansas City Chiefs is third at $823, followed by the game against the Philadelphia Eagles at $673, and the game against the Chicago Bears at $654.
“Basically, it’s a really attractive destination for NFL fans to make the trip to watch their team play the Raiders and spend the weekend in Vegas,” said Steve Spiewak, a spokesman for VividSeats.
