Tickets to the Saints/Jaguars game are outrageously cheap.
The Saints are playing the first game in the NFL to require fans to be vaccinated or provide a negative PCR COVID-19 test. What has that done to ticket prices for Monday night? Driven them straight into the ground.
According to Darren Rovell, some tickets on the secondary market are selling for less than $1 before fees.

As of this moment, StubHub has tickets for as cheap as $6. So, while it’s not the lowest on the secondary market, they’re still absurdly cheap.
This is honestly insane. Imagine taking your entire family to an NFL game for less than $20. Preseason games are always cheap, but they’re not this cheap.
They’re not this cheap at all. This is happening because of coronavirus restrictions.
While I don’t want to sit and debate the vaccine, I will say that this is great news for vaccinated people. If you’re vaccinated, some sports games are apparently going to be shockingly cheap.
I seriously can’t believe this is real, but here we are. The Saints are demanding fans provide proof of a negative test or be vaccinated.
In response, the ticket market has utterly collapsed. For the price of a case of Busch Light, they might let you get out there and throw a pass at this point.
What an incredible situation unfolding in New Orleans. It should be fascinating to see if fans continue to stay away or if the market levels off. For the time being, hotdogs cost more than a ticket to the game.
“Stupid is a stupid does! “
They should pay people $100 to attend, just like paying people to get the vax.
One dollar? No thanks. I don’t even watch the MFL on TV.
Scalping their fans again................
When, ever, has a ticket gone for a dollar?
get the vax and you will receive 100 bucks AND a saints ticket.
They can go broke for all I care. They don't care about their fans, they're more concerned with being woke.
“While I don’t want to sit and debate the vaccine, I will say that this is great news for vaccinated people.”
No. No it is not.
If half the country is “fully vaccinated” and that needle doesn’t move much, it is possible that some “fully vaxxed only” venues will have to raise prices to make up for the loss of volume. I get that the NBA is an exception to this since they get their main money from tv rights.
Go Woke, Go Broke....
I’d like someone to ask the Saints organization for a comment on the 4 Dallas Cowboys, vaccinated Dallas Cowboy, players that have the ‘Rona.
Time will tell.
Saints fans are some of the most loyal. Loyalty only goes so far, maybe.
$2 tickets if you got one jab
$1 tickets if you got 2 jabs
50 cent tickets if you take the booster
Enjoy the NFL, before the vax kills you within the next 3 years!
It may not be the vaccination requirement, it maybe the requirement of being a Saints’ fan....... 😂
Heck, for a regular season game ticket prices might double or even triple! Lol!
So, half off?
For the time being, hotdogs cost more than a ticket to the game.

I prefer the hotdog ... with onions, mustard & chili, please.
