Lions Fans Roar Over Ticket Prices—Rod Wood Responds
The Detroit Lions are hotter than ever, and so are their ticket prices. As the team gears up for another electrifying season, some fans have noticed their wallets getting a little lighter. But according to Lions president Rod Wood, the increase isn’t about greed—it’s about value, demand, and, well, a team finally worth the price of admission.
Why the Price Hike? Blame Success (And Maybe Dan Campbell’s Coffee Budget)
Lions fans have been waiting decades for a legitimate contender, and now that they have one, the demand for tickets has skyrocketed. Wood insists the price adjustments are simply a reflection of this newfound success.
“Our game against the Commanders was the No. 1 postseason ticket price other than a Super Bowl in the history of the NFL,” Wood noted. “Our fans are hungry to go to Lions games.”
Hungry enough to justify the price of admission? Wood seems to think so, especially considering resale values are soaring even higher.
Still Cheaper Than a Resale Ripoff
For fans worried about affordability, Wood pointed out that Lions tickets are still a relative bargain compared to secondary markets.
“We’re not pricing our tickets at $404 like the secondary market,” he explained. “We’re still under $200 on average. We’re not jumping to $400, but we are going to increase it to recognize what the market will carry.”
In other words, you’ll still pay less than a Super Bowl seat—but just barely.
Bottom Line: If You Want a Winning Team, It Comes at a Price
Lions fans have waited years for a team that actually makes ticket prices worth complaining about. Now, with playoff success and a fan base that travels like a rock band on tour, the price of admission is rising. Wood believes it’s a fair trade-off, and honestly, compared to the suffering of seasons past, some might say it’s a small price to pay.
