Steelers-Cowboys Game One of the Hottest Tickets in NFL
The Steelers-Cowboys game on Sunday night is trending as the hottest ticket this week in the NFL and the third hottest NFL ticket this regular season, with an average ticket of $551, according to Vivid Seats. Sunday’s game is also the hottest ticket in Pennsylvania this October. The best deal is $230 for the game.
With two iconic franchises facing each other in primetime, it’s not surprising that tickets are going at a high rate. The amount of Cowboys fans projected to be at the game is pretty eye-opening, though. I know it’s America’s Team but still.
Vivid Seats projects that 46% of Acrisure Stadium will be Cowboys fans. Fans are traveling 624 miles, on average, making it the second furthest traveled game this weekend, just behind Giants-Seahawks.
Mike Tomlin reflected on the Steelers-Cowboys historic rivalry during his Tuesday press conference.
“The strength of the brands is something that is to be respected,” Tomlin said. “I respect that every day when I get out of the car in this parking lot. It’s a responsibility to represent the black and gold, and I would imagine the guys in Dallas feel the same way.
“You can’t put a price tag on standards and legacy, and both organizations have that. We walk on the ground that’s been paved for us by those that have come before us. We feel really blessed and honored to do so and I’m sure that will be reflected in the way that both teams play this weekend.”
Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen is also looking forward to the primetime matchup.
“When you look at two teams everybody goes for back in the day, it’s always Cowboys and Steelers,” Queen said. “’Sunday Night Football,’ everybody watching, the moments everybody lives for. So you’ve got the whole world watching, what are you going to do about it.”
The Cowboys lead the all-time series against the Steelers, 17-16. The two teams have met in the Super Bowl a league-high three times, with the Steelers winning two of those matchups.
“I’m aware of the history of being a football fan,” Steelers running back Najee Harris said.
“The Cowboys have always been a good team. What they bring is always a mentality for a good team. They are down a couple of guys but they got a lot of guys that are playmakers and it should be challenging.”
