Ticket Prices around the AIFA

[insane_asylum]

I was doing some research regarding prices for tickets around the league and here is what I came up with. Please bear in mind they are not 100% accurate (approx) as most of the sites have all sorts of gimmicks and specials, but give you all an idea how the prices match up.

Season Tickets - Worst seats to Best seats
Arizona - $110-283
Augusta - ??
Baltimore - $140-280
Canton - $70-175
Carolina - $56-160
Columbus - $56-??
Fayetteville - $78-210
Florence - $42-159
Huntington - $60-120
Mississippi - $49-175
Pittsburgh - $70-175
Reading - $62-185
Tampa Bay - ??
Utah - $67-140
Wyoming - $92-236

Seems to me like there is great amount of difference in prices.
Arizona has the highest priced front row seats.:confused:

I can see if a team has experience, and would be abl to charge a better price....especially if the team is good.

Your comments are certainly welcome.

Columbus is charging $350 dollars for Front row seats and they are already sold out.

Cavalry prices are for 8 games

If that's accurate for Baltimore, that's scary-high. But we always knew 1st Mariner was an expensive arena and one team has already gone one-and-done in it.

In defense of some of the other more expensive ones; different arenas are going to require a different price-point to break even. We need to know more about each team's arena rent and other arena-associated costs to know if their ticket prices are out of line and by how much.

At some point though, you have to draw the line and not play in arenas that will not enable you to charge family-friendly prices for tickets. $40-$45 for a ticket to a minor-league indoor football game - regardless of where you're sitting - is way too high. You might sell a couple, but the novelty will wear off quickly when the fans realize they are paying champagne prices for kool-aid entertainment.

Being "sold out" and being "no longer available" are two different things. I would hazard a guess that many of those front-row seats have been given to sponsors as a part of their partnership agreements.

Columbus does not trade tickets. All tickets are bought.

And it wouldn't surprise me if Columbus' sponsors bought tickets as part of their sponsorship deals.

A LOT of sponsors want seats as well, and it's counted as 'tickets sold' rather than a trade.
