You Won’t Believe How Much Detroit Lions Resale Tickets Have Gone Up
The Detroit Lions are considered one of the hottest teams in the NFL for the upcoming season. With that development, it’s not surprising that the cost of Detroit Lions resale tickets on the secondary market have gone up. But, it’s a bit surprising just how much those prices have skyrocketed.
Detroit Lions resale tickets
According to information from TicketSmarter, reported on by our friend Jeff Risdon at USA Today, the Lions have had a huge jump in the average cost of resale tickets. Back in 2022, the average real market value for Detroit Lions tickets at Ford Field was $147. Now, that number has more than doubled to $302 for 2023.
The buzz is real. Of course, the increase in ticket costs is due to an increased demand for Lions tickets. Many things contributed to this factor, including the Lions’ strong season in 2022 and strong draft picks. So, if you want to go see the Lions in person this fall, expect to pay up.

I don’t think we’re going to be able to do it, but I would love to literally just have a pet lion. Just a legit pet lion on a chain — a big-a** chain. And he just, he really is my pet. We just walk around the building, we go out to practice, we’re in 7-on-7, we’re behind the kicker when he’s kicking. We’re just … there we are.”
