The Sports Timeline site reports:
The cost of NFL tickets is not an accident or a sudden trend. It is the product of deliberate market strategies, the natural forces of supply and demand, and the growing perception that an NFL game is more than just a sporting event it is a premium entertainment experience.
The Athletic reports that the Lions have the second highest ticket price averages in the NFL for 2025.
