Default NFL Tickets in Vegas

Hey,

Hope this is the right forum for this question....

A few of my friends and I are looking to go Vegas in either November or December to catch an NFL and obviously the prices are pretty high for decent seats. I was wondering if any of you had recommendations on which sites to grab tickets from - i.e. most reliable and cheapest I guess.

A few that have been mentioned to me are VividSeats, SeatGeek and of course Ticketmaster. Or are they all pretty much the same? At first glance, prices don't look much different on these sites.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Aren’t tickets on stub hub guaranteed? To me the source is ticketmaster.

I can’t see one site being much cheaper than the others.

Since this is part fa trip, I’d think the guarantee is most important

Best bang for your buck will be to find a local with season tickets and buy off them. That’s what I did last year.

Otherwise look at the reselling sites and prepare to pay a lot.

We paid something like $450 CAD per ticket for 20th row in the lower bowl on the 5 yard line.

My buddy has season tickets and he says best bet is last minute when you're there.

They have actually sold all of their seats for the season off to a broker at a massive premium and then just buy back any games they actually are there for for way less cost.

Thanks for this info. That's interesting. I am a little worried about last minute ticket purchases but this seems like a good option to reduce the cost. My only concern is that it's a December game between the Charges and Raiders and I am not sure how in demand those are.

Well to put it in perspective i went to the chargers raiders game last year and my tickets would have been 2x the price at game time.

Seems to me the go-to for Vegas sporting events was Gametime.

I'm looking for tickets for Jan 1 as well. Cheapest seats right now are $410 US in the back rows of the 400s. No price difference between ticketmaster, stubhub or gametime. Hopefully prices come down, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Seats are almost always cheapest on the day of the event. The downside is that you're often not sure where you'll be sitting until right before game time

Bumping the thread as I'm headed to LV in October and want to check out the stadium.

It used to be so much easier in places to grab a last minute scalper ticket - what's the process these days for day-of "cheap" tickets?

Do I just go to TM reseller? What kind of prices should I expect?

If you just want to check out the stadium they have tours for $65-$85 with free parking on non-game days. Take note of whether or not the field is accessible, because some days it's off limits.

If you want to watch football I would use StubHub or Ticketmaster like anywhere else.
