Yeah they put that on the waiting room after about 90 minutes. Once the queue started moving it was quick. Tickets bought for Vikings v Browns. Good stuff.
I somehow wangled my way to 9000th in the queue when it went live, after the long wait I manged to pick up 4 tickets to the Browns Vikings, there were loads available when I got in, expensive, but it will be my first NFL game, so I'm looking forward to it.

Ticket prices are an absolute pisstake this year. I was getting club Wembley seats for about £110 not so long ago and now it’s £200 with the booking fee to sit in the last row of the top tier in our stadium. Last year I paid £115 each and the same seats are £210 this year so nearly £100 more.
Think this will be the last year I attend an NFL game in the UK sadly as I just cant justify it anymore

Still plenty of tickets available which suggests they’ve gone too far with the ticket price increases this year. We’re paying about £25 extra this year for very similar seats to where I was last year, and the booking fees are another £50 split 3 ways. If I wasn’t a Vikings fan I wouldn’t be bothering tbh.Ticket prices are an absolute pisstake this year.

Yeah I had a quick look last night and there were loads left which would be unheard of usually. I had the season tickets previously so have had the same seats for all the nfl games at our stadium so far but this year all season tickets got cancelled and we instead got a priority sales window.
I suspected at the time that the reason for this was so that they could hike the prices and remove the discount for attending multiple games and I was right sadly. I’m just doing the Vikings game this year and it’s costing me practically the same as 2 games did last year 🫤
I doubt I will bother in the future unless my team is playing
I got tickets row 43 of the South, that set me back £160+ service, £175 all in which is pretty ludicrous as it is but as far as I was willing to push it.
Everything at the price point I bought or cheaper, has sold, but there are loads of tickets left because they're so overpriced for the position in stadium. £200 all in to sit in the lower rows behind an endzone (one of the worst seats in the house for NFL imo) and back half of the 500s because they're "sideline" (even the ones in the corner blocks) also for 200+ is a joke. Even the touts seem to think it's not worth buying and trying to sell these given the fees etc involved on the resale.

Reckon thisll be the last one for me also unless the prices actually come down on the back of this year, but wishful thinking I know!

That's a mad trade. As a Steelers fan it feels strange to have them be so active in the market, after decades of avoiding it and mostly drafting. Khan is certainly different as a GM. Fitzpatrick hasn't been great the last two seasons so I see this as a fairly good win particularly as they will be using a lot of 2TE sets and Jonnu Smith was one of the best pass catchers last year. Be interesting to see if Ramsey lines up at edge corner, slot or maybe even at safety.
