Raiders home games in Las Vegas most in-demand tickets in NFL
Vegas, baby! That’s what a lot of NFL fans are saying right now as the schedule is finally released and single game tickets go on sale. That doesn’t just mean Raiders fans, either.
One of the early concerns about the Raiders moving to Las Vegas was the possibility that the stadium could fill up with opposing fans who are using the game as an excuse to take a trip to Sin City. And from the looks of it, that could be happening.
Vivid Seats put together a list of games this season, ordering them by their price and five of the top six are all Raiders home games.
Most in-demand games based on average ticket price, via @VividSeats:
*Bucs at Patriots: $1,376
*Ravens at Raiders: $944
*Chiefs at Raiders: $823
*Eagles at Raiders: $673
*Bears at Raiders: $653
*Dolphins at Raiders: $603… Safe to say road trips to Vegas will be popular.

The only ticket in the NFL that is currently more expensive on average is Tom Brady’s return to Foxboro. The next five are all Raiders home games.
The top two Raiders home games are their two home primetime matchups against the Ravens (MNF) and Chiefs (SNF).
To be fair, this doesn’t necessarily mean Raiders fans will be outnumbered by opposing fans or lose home field advantage. Plenty of these tickets could be traveling Raiders fans. The Raiders do still have a strong fan base in Southern California and plenty of fans from across the country who are eager to see their team in their new digs for the first time while taking in some Vegas night life. Though, if that were the only reason, I would expect to see the Broncos and Chargers games up there being that they’re division rivals.
