Hi Folks...

Lifelong Steelers fan here who grew up in central Pennsylvania. I recently moved south to the Carolinas and miss my Steelers. I am a regular over at blackshoediaries , but I have been lurking here for awhile, but finnally decieded to join up. I have a question for everyone, I am coming to PA for the holidays and thought about going to the Browns game on the 28th. I do not have tickets at this moment and really do not want to buy from stubhub. As folks who presumably go to the games regularly I was hoping you folks could inform me of the avaliability of tickets (from scalpers) and what a typical game like this will cost for nosebleeds. Basically as cheap of seats as I can get to get into the stadium so I can budget the cost into my checkbook for the holidays.

Thanks for all of your help in advance.

Depends

If the game is meaningful for playoff standings they’ll probably be kinda expensive. However if we’ve clinched our spot you’ll probably be able to get nosebleeds for around face value ~$68.

I’d say you should budget around $120 to get in per ticket. You might have to wait till the games about to start to get the best deals. Standing in the south endzone plaza is a fun place if the seats you get are awful.

My advice

If you going with some buddies, I would show up at Heinz. You can always get seats, probably around face value, close to game time. The further out from game time the more expensive. The reason I say “going with buddies” is because if you are on a date or with a child, smootching around the stadium might not be too cool. You pay for peace of mind and bird in hand. But with buddies, tickets are always available for any game, even playoff games. You need to work a bit, so you need to determine if that is worth it.

Thoughtful discussion with a sense of history
