Helping Fans See More Games for Less

That’s the heart of this site: helping sports fans—myself included—find ways to save money on sports tickets and enjoy live events without breaking the bank.

I’m not a ticket broker, just a lifelong fan who loves the adrenaline of being in the stadium but hates the high prices and hidden fees. This site started as a way to track deals for myself, but quickly grew into a resource for anyone who wants to see more games for less.

The Struggle of Being a Sports Fan on a Budget

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt ripped off buying tickets online. Now raise your other hand if it’s happened more than once. (Thanks—it’s been a while since I initiated “The Wave.”)

We all know NFL, NBA, MLB, and other major league tickets are overpriced. Showcase events like the Super Bowl or World Series are basically unaffordable for the average fan. But even regular-season games can cost hundreds for the so-called “cheap seats.”

To wit:

• Dallas at Philadelphia (9/4): $612
• Dallas at Las Vegas (11/17): $556
• Green Bay at Detroit (11/27): $400
• Pittsburgh at Detroit (12/21): $400
  

Yes, you’re reading this correctly. Listed above are the average least-expensive tickets (excluding standing room) for those games as of June. 

That’s a lot of money just to get in the door.

My First Experience with Ticket Fees

I’ll never forget buying NFL tickets online in 2013. I thought I’d scored a deal—$112 seats on StubHub vs. $137 on Ticketmaster. But by checkout, $112 had ballooned to $150+ thanks to the added charges. I mean, what the hell is a “convenience fee”?!

That feeling of being fleeced stuck with me. And over the years, whether using StubHub, SeatGeek, or Vivid Seats, I kept running into the same problem: I didn’t really know if I was getting the best deal.

It was like buying a used car—frustrating, confusing, and often expensive.

How I Started Saving Money on Tickets

So I decided to dig in. I began compiling ticket price data for NFL games—over 1,000 games across 6-12 different brokers. By comparing them head-to-head, I discovered which ticket resellers consistently offered the best value.

The result? I may not always get the absolute lowest ticket, but I no longer overpay. Instead, I buy with confidence and usually score a good deal.

Why This Site Exists

I built this site to share what I’ve learned with other fans. Here, you’ll find:

• Weekly ticket price updates
• Personalized deal alerts (for email subscribers)
• Value score tools to compare ticket sites
• Insider money-saving tips on tickets, parking, food, and more

Because being a stay-at-home fan has its perks—but nothing matches the energy of live sports in person.
