DENVER, Colo. (WPRI) — If you’re planning to make the trip to Colorado for the AFC Championship between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos, the home team is limiting who can buy tickets.
If you try to buy a ticket through Ticketmaster, the following message appears on the screen:
“Due to limited availability, tickets will be sold only to those with a billing address in the Rocky Mountain region, including Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota and Western Kansas.”
For those who live outside of that region and want to go to the game, you’ll have to go through a ticket reseller like StubHub or SeatGeek...

How do you know. The game just started.
Look in the stands … very few
It is a home game for Denver so that doesn’t surprise me.
Do the Patriots fans travel to road games?
I think they are the favorites to win today as Den. Qb is the backup.
In this weather I wouldn’t blame them.
The fans from Boston were trying to get tickets earlier in the week. Ticket sales were restricted to Colorado residents and parts of states that border CO. So, they refused to make sales to anyone from New England.
Normally a bunch of die hards would make the trip. Not today. (It’s just as well…they would be stuck there until Wednesday.)
Understood.
Are y’all getting the Snow and Cold 🥶 in N.E.?
THAT IS RESTRICTING LEGAL COMMERCE
It’s snowing. It’s been a couple of weak winters for the past few years. Today looks like 1993! And really cold. But it’s a dry cold. Ha Ha.
Cool.
No pun intended.😉
True.
Boston liberals tend to be fair-weather Patriots fans, because they consider Patriots fans to be conservatives.
I grew up in Connecticut. It is the height of hubris to claim six entire states as the fan base. Our parents were nearly all Giants fans. Many of us picked at team that was competitive in the 70s when the Giants stunk. I hated the Cowboys, so I picked the Rams. But my peers were Steeler, Raider, Cowboys, Dolphin fans. In prep school, we had plenty from Massachusetts. They didn’t care about the Pats even when they had Russ Francis and Steve Grogan. They cared about the Red Sox. They rooted for the Celtics. They celebrated the Bruins at times. Years later, they cared more about BC’s Doug Flutie than Drew Bledsoe.
Now, some of my nieces and nephews are Pats fans, because of the Dynasty. Misguided, but understandable. They aren’t going to spring for tickets in Denver to see a game, though.
Now I’m glad they lost.
I thought there was some rule that something like 10 or 20% of tickets had to be made available for fans of the visiting team?
That might be from long ago.
$500 to $5000 per ticket to sit outside in the snow. Won’t see me there.
