What’s Behind the Price Hike?
Lions season tickets have already gone up significantly, and some fans aren’t thrilled. But according to Wood, most of the complaints are coming from ticket brokers, not the average fan.
“I haven’t heard much pushback, other than from brokers,” Wood explained. He added that the team keeps track of who’s buying tickets and cracks down on resellers flipping seats for profit.
Winning Comes at a Price
The Lions are no longer just an underdog story—they’re a powerhouse. And with that success comes a surge in demand for tickets.
“Our playoff game against the Commanders had the highest ticket price for any postseason game outside of the Super Bowl in NFL history,” Wood said. “The two games before that were the most expensive wild-card and divisional-round games ever.”
Detroit fans have made Ford Field one of the hardest places to play, and their support isn’t just at home—Lions fans have been taking over stadiums across the country.
Still a Good Deal?
Wood argues that even with the increase, Lions tickets are still cheaper than what fans are paying on resale sites.
“We’re not jumping to $400 per ticket like the secondary market,” he said. “Our average is still under $200.”
Bottom Line
The Lions are red-hot, and their ticket prices reflect it. While some fans may not love paying more, the team is betting that their success—and the electric atmosphere at Ford Field—will keep fans coming back.
