About NFL Tickets

12/13/12: In a stunning turnaround, former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue nullified all the suspensions for the four New Orleans Saints players named in the Bountygate scandal. Tagliabue was asked by current NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to oversee the appeals after calls against Goodell's impartiality were called into question. Tagliabue's decision closes the case against the players as far as the league is concerned, though Johnathan Vilma still plans on suing for defamation. No word yet on former Saints Defensive Coordinator Greg Williams, who is suspended indefinitely. Williams was supposed to be the DC for the St. Louis Rams this season, but was suspended long before doing any work with the team.

12/6/12: The NFL regular season moves into week 14 and the playoff picture is getting clearer. In the AFC, the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos have clinched the East and West divisions, respectively. Meanwhile, the Houston Texans are assured of a playoff spot and on the verge of sealing the AFC South. Over in the NFC, the Atlanta Falcons will be the South Champions, though the other divisions are still up for grabs. Green Bay and Chicago are tied at 8-4 in the North, in a battle that may come down to the final week to decide.

Recap 12/1/2012: The league took a slightly different flavor this week, with a triple slate of Thanksgiving games to help break up routine. First up, the Texans prevailed over the Lions in an overtime thriller. The game probably would not have even reached overtime if Lions coach Jim Schwartz didn't errantly throw a challenge flag on Justin Forsett's 81 yard TD run, a move that made the play unchallengeable. Next, Robert Griffin III of the Redskins smoked the Cowboys with yet another commanding performance, tossing for over 300 yards and 4 touchdown passes. As for the closing game of the night with the Patriots against the Jets, the less said about it the better for New Yorkers. The Patriots scored 35 points in the second quarter to rout the Jets 49-19 by the time it was all over.

In other games, the Giants crushed the Packers 38-10, a move that righted the ship and put them in prime position in the NFC East. The 49ers slowed down the surging Saints with a clean 31-21 win. Jay Cutler returned to the Bears to spark them to a 28-10 win over the Vikings. Over in the AFC, Andrew Luck continues to be a leader for the surprising Colts, who look to be playoff bound with a narrow win over the Bills. Their record now improves to 7-4. The Browns defeated a depleted Steelers squad by forcing 8 turnovers in a 20-14 win. Finally in the Monday night game, Cam Newton added to the Eagle's perils by piling on 4 touchdowns to lead the Panthers to victory.

Recap 11/24/2012: In the Monday Night game of the week, the 49ers faced offer against the Bears at Candlestick Park. Both teams were without their starting quarterbacks. However Jason Campbell struggled to muster up any offense in the absence of Jay Cutler. Colin Kaepernick however, shined and might have won himself a starting position.

The Ravens beat the Steelers 13-10 in a hard fought battle that gave Baltimore a firm hold on the lead in the AFC North. It what was predictably a defensive battle, the Raven's took advantage of a depleted Steelers squad and pulled off the close win. Meanwhile out in Denver, the Broncos have probably the most secure hold of any division, as they beat the Chargers 30-23 and now hold a lead of three games in the division. It would take an epic collapse for Denver to not win the division.

There were some nail-biters in the lot, namely the class of the NFL Houston Texans, who had to stage a comeback against the lowly Jaguars to squeak out a win on overtime. The Texans were down by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and ultimately pulled off the victory on an Andre Johnson 48 yard touchdown reception.

In the always entertaining NFC East, no teams really succeed to distinguish themselves. Dallas needed overtime to beat a 2-7 Cleveland Browns squad. The Redskins beat the reeling Eagles but that only moved them to 4-6. Robert Griffin III had almost a perfect game, completing 14 of 15 passes to go along with 4 touchdowns.

Recap 11/17/2012: In the headline game of the week, the Texans and the Bears squared off in Sunday Night Football. With both teams heading their respective conferences with matching 7-1 records, some were whispering the possibilities that this could be a Super Bowl preview. While that may be thinking too far ahead, there was no doubt this was a clash of powers. The game proved to be a defensive, or sloppy, battle, depending how you look at it. At the end of the day, the Texans won the game 13-6, further strengthening their hold on the AFC. As for the Bears, they fall to 7-2 with the Packers nipping at their heels.

In odd news of the week, the 49ers and the Rams played to the first tie in the NFL since 2008. The 49ers did well to get the tie actually, as they were facing a big deficit for most of the game and relied on a field goal by David Akers in the waning seconds to even push the game into overtime.

In other games, the Steelers narrowly squeaked by the Chiefs in Monday Night Football in overtime, however QB Ben Roethlisberger was knocked out of the game and for at least a few games with both shoulder and rib injuries. The Falcons fell out of the ranks of the undefeated, as the Saints upset them in a divisional showdown. The Saints sit at 4-5, so they still have time to make a surge despite their disastrous start to the season. The Cowboys might have put the final nail in the Eagle's dreadful season, blowing the game open with 21 fourth quarter points. The Eagles also might have lost QB Michael Vick for the reason of the season, as he suffered a significant concussion.

Recap 11/10/2012: Week 9 of the NFL season has not brought on any shockers, but was full of intrigue nonetheless.

Peyton Manning has solidified his MVP front-runner candidacy with a rally against the Bengals, ultimately leading the Broncos to a 31-23 win. Manning tossed three touchdown passes.

The Bear's once again showcased what might be one of the best defenses seen in years. The Bears scored two defense touchdowns en route to a 51-20 shellacking of the Titans in Nashville. Brian Urlacher scored on a 46 yard interception return in the first quarter which basically sealed the deal early. The Redskins lost a battle of 2012 and 2011 quarterback talents, as Cam Newton's Panthers took the Robert Griffin III led Redskins. Washington's season might be over, as even head coach Mike Shanahan might have conceded the season after the game.

In the week's marquee game, the Steelers beat the Giants in a closely contested game in the Meadowlands. Pittsburgh scored two uncontested fourth quarter touchdowns and quelled an attempted rally by Eli Manning to seal the deal. The Steelers move to 5-3 while the Giants fall to 6-3. In another big game, the Falcons are halfway towards their perfect season moving to 8-0 with a 13-19 victory over the Cowboys. While Dallas made a late run of it in the second half, Matt Ryan was largely able to out duel Tony Romo. For the Cowboys, they fall 3-5 in a season that is certainly in danger of falling apart. Finally, MVP of the week has to go to Tampa Bay RB Doug Martin, who racked up a whopping 251 yards on the ground again the sad sack Raiders.

Recap 11/1/2012: The theme of week eight in the NFL season was largely maintaining the status quo. There were few major surprises over the slate of games. The Falcons won 30-17 over the slumping Eagles, extending their record to a perfect 7-0 while the Eagles fell to 3-4. Speaking of NFC East disappointments, the Cowboys lost a thriller against the Giants, with a potential Dez Bryant touchdown catch in the waning seconds was overturned by the narrowest of margins. One last mention of disappointments is the brash New York Jets, after a full week of trash talk against division rival Dolphins, they got trashed 30-9 in a laugher. The Jets fall to 3-5 and murmurs of discontent are increasing in volume for both head coach Rex Ryan and QB Mark Sanchez.

The Patriots seem to be back in business as an AFC power with a 45-7 thrashing of the Rams at Wembley Stadium in London. A pair of prodigy quarterbacks had a hard go at it on Sunday. A series of Cam Newton mistakes sunk the Panthers at Soldier Field, a particularly painful result considering the Panthers were leading virtually all game. Over in Pittsburgh, Robert Griffin III had his first mediocre game in the NFL, compiling a 72.8 quarterback rating while never really getting the Redskin offense going.

In the Monday night game, the 49ers beat the Cardinals off the strength of a nearly-perfect game by Alex Smith, who completed 18 or 19 passes and tossed three touchdowns. The 49ers move to 6-2 in an increasingly crowded pack at the top of the NFC.

Recap 10/24/2012: Week seven was all about the cream of the crop of the NFL separating themselves from the rest of the pack. This week's marquee matchup in the AFC pitted the Ravens against the Texans in Houston, with both teams having a 5-1 record and looking for an inside track to the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The end result was as telling as the final score, as the Texans pushed the Ravens all over the field in a 43-13 rout.

The other attractive matchup was another tense AFC East showdown of the Patriots and the Jets. The Jets surprisingly held tough the entire game. However a Mark Sanchez fumble in overtime doomed the Jets, who dropped to 3-4 while the Patriots crawled over .500 to 4-3.

The most exciting game to take place during the week was in the NFC, where the Giants and the Redskins engaged in a nail-biter in the Meadowlands. Robert Griffin III again put on a spectacular show, including a TD pass in the last two minutes that gave the Redskins a late lead. However, Eli Manning showed the rookie how it's done, as Manning quickly struck back with a 77-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz that gave the home team the lead for good.

In other games, the Packers continue to right the ship and are now 4-3, and the Vikings continue to be the surprise of the NFL, extending their record to 5-2 with a win over the Cardinals.

Recap 10/18/2012: The Giants solidified their elite status with a dominant 26-3 win over the 49ers, a team many thought to be the class of the NFL. Meanwhile, the Seahawks rallied back against a two touchdown fourth-quarter deficit to shock the Patriots. Moving on to other NFC powers, the visiting Packers steamrolled the Texans 42-24 on the strength of six touchdown passes by Aaron Rodgers. This loss momentarily derails the Houston Super Bowl dream and also confirms that the Packers are indeed the title contenders they were last year.

The Ravens beat the Cowboys 31-29 in Baltimore as Dallas kicker Dan Bailey missed a 51-yard field goal in the waning seconds. Though the Ravens moved to 5-1, this loss was rather costly, as they lost CB Lardarius Webb to a torn ACL and franchise cornerstone LB Ray Lewis to torn triceps. At the age of 37, Lewis might have played his last game in the NFL. The Ravens head into next week with a possible playoff preview in a showdown with the Texans.

Any lingering questions about Peyton Manning's health could be safely put to rest after Monday night's showdown against the Chargers. After getting shut- out at halftime, the Broncos came back with five uncontested touchdowns in the second half. Manning led the comeback with three passing touchdowns, squaring Denver's record at 3-3. The Falcons remain the NFL's only undefeated team, though the Raiders gave more of a fight than many thought, as the Falcons once again squeezed out a tight victory on a last-second Matt Bryant field goal.

Recap 10/11/2012: Week five of the NFL season was one high on emotion. The Colt's head coach Chuck Pagano recently left the team to undergo treatment for leukemia. Playing the Packers, the Colts were determined to win one for Pagano but faced a stiff test in the Green Bay Packers. Facing a 21-3 deficit at halftime, Andrew Luck staged a comeback for the ages and led the Colts to a miraculous 30-27 win, evening the team's record at 2-2. Elsewhere, the disappointing Saints managed to win their first game of the season, with Drew Brees eclipsing Johnny Unitas' consecutive passing TD record in a close game against the Chargers.

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning had a rematch in Foxboro, with Manning donning a different uniform for the first time. It would be Brady's day however, as the Broncos squandered opportunity after opportunity in a losing effort.

Outside of those marquee names, it was a relatively quiet week. The Vikings, 49ers, and Bears all won in romps over inferior competition. The 49ers in particular unleashed a franchise-record 621 yards of offense against the Bills, in a 45-3 thrashing at Candlestick Park.

On Monday night, Mark Sanchez played another sloppy game against the Texans but the Jets managed to keep the game close in the fourth quarter. The Texans held on to win a one possession game; however it might have come at a cost, as star linebacker Brian Cushing is feared to be lost for the season after sustaining a knee injury, which would significantly derail the team's Super Bowl hopes.

Recap 10/2/2012: A sigh of relief could be heard across every stadium in the NFL as the real referees were back in business. With that mess out of the way, the focus of can now be shifted entirely on the action in the gridiron. The Cardinals, Texans, and Falcons remain the class of the NFL, all extending their records to a perfect 4-0. The Cardinals and Falcons in particular both survived last minute nail biters. Over in the AFC East, the Patriots rebounded from their first sub .500 record in over a decade by ringing up a whopping 52 points on the Bills. Staying in the division, the Jets lost in embarrassing fashion to the 49ers, getting shutout 34-0. Mark Sanchez played this third consecutive poor game. Tebow-time in NYC? Stay tuned.

The Packers might have saved their season with a narrow victory over the floundering Saints. The Packers survived a botch call and a missed late field goal to vault right back into contention after an early season panic. As for the Saints, they remain one of the top stories in the league as they continue to flounder in wake of bounty-gate. On the bright side, Drew Brees played a magnificent game and tied Johnny's Unitas' record with touchdown passes in 47 consecutive games. Speaking of quarterbacks, the RGIII show continues in the nation's capital as another masterful performance allowed the Redskins to squeeze out a narrow victory over the Buccaneers.

On Sunday, night the Eagles (finally) played a turnover-less game to win a critical NFC East game against the Giants. In the week's featured Monday night game, the Bears took advantage of a disastorous game by Tony Romo (5 INTs) to beat the Cowboys 34-18.

Recap 9/28/2012: Week three of the NFL season was one for the ages… for all the wrong reasons. In what turned out to be the final week of the great replacement referee debacle of 2012, they certainly saved their best for last. Yes, I am talking about the botched call at the end of the Monday night Packers-Seahawks tilt. The referees granted Golden Tate a 24 yard touchdown on a Hail Mary as time expired. This summed up the frustration of the replacement referees and no doubt played a huge role in the return of the real ones for week four.

Commentary on the referees aside, the game of the

week saw the Ravens capitalize on a Steelers loss and beat the Patriots 31-30 in a rematch of last year's AFC Championship game. The win furthered their lead in the early AFC North race. As for the rest of the league, the theme of the week seemed to be nail biters, as the Jets, Chiefs, and Dolphins all escaped with overtime wins. The Vikings also scored a big upset over the 49ers, a team many see as Super Bowl-bound.

The early season surprises solidified their stances, as the Cardinals controlled the Eagles from beginning to end to remain undefeated (first 3-0 start since 1974). The Falcons dominated the Chargers, joining the Texans and Cardinals to join the ranks of the undefeated. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the in-disarray Saints, who dropped to 0-3 on the season with a loss to the Chiefs.

NFL Tickets – The Best of the Gridiron

Since its inception in 1920, the NFL has grown to be one of the most popular professional sports in the United States. Originally called the American Professional Football Association, the league changed its name to the National Football League in 1922. Today, NFL tickets are among the most expensive tickets for any professional sport in the United States. The NFL has grown to be so popular that it attracts more television viewers then baseball. Not only, is Super Bowl Sunday the biggest annual sporting event held in the United States, but also The Super Bowl itself is always among the highest- rated programs annually in the Nielsen ratings.

There is truly something special about the atmosphere in a football stadium that is unlike any other sports stadium&mdashor any other place for that matter &mdash in the world. The smell of beer, and hot dogs coupled with the grunts of the players on the gridiron and the roar of the fans reverberating through the stadium, creates a unique feeling that is synonymous only with football. Timeless rivalries such as the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Baltimore Ravens, and the New York Jets vs. the New England Patriots, make football tickets some of the most demanded tickets in the world. Whether you're looking for NFL preseason tickets, NFL regular season tickets, NFL playoff tickets, or even Super Bowl tickets, check out SeatGeek for all your NFL ticket needs.

NFL Tickets – The Rivalries

For those that are lucky enough to enjoy the NFL live, the experience provided is unmatched. With historic rivalries including the Dolphins-Jets, Bengals- Browns, 49ers-Rams, Packers-Vikings, Broncos-Raiders, Steelers-Browns, Giants- Eagles, Chiefs-Raiders, Bears-Packers, Cowboys-Redskins and more, the NFL delivers some of the most exciting action in sports on a consistent basis every Sunday.

Update - August 2011

With just days before the season opener, Michael Vick is once again the center of attention when it comes to NFL news. First, ESPN put out a controversial story "What if Michael Vick was white" Now this week, Vick has closed on a huge contract which is a six year deal worth $100 million including a roughly $40 million guarantee. Not so bad for a guy that was in jail not so long ago. Here's to hoping Plaxico Burress can have a similar turnaround both on-and-off the field.

Update - July 2011 - NFL Post-Lockout Free Agency

Possibly one of the most anticipated free agencies ever in NFL history, many teams have added key pieces of the puzzle to their success for the 2011-2012 season. Donavan McNabb has moved to the Minnesota Vikings and will be filling the shoes of Brett Favre (who isn't coming out of retirement). Reggie Bush will now be playing for the Miami Dolphins. Kevin Kolb who has been in the shadow of McNabb and Michael Vick is now on the Arizona Cardinals and is ready to show that his potential is true quarterback skill. Bill Belichick and Co. have done it again by signing veterans Chad Ochocinco and Albert Haynesworth. His coaching staff has a habit of signing aging vets and having them play as if they are in their prime. The New York Jets have resigned Santonio Holmes and are currently on the hunt for top free agent Nnamdi Asomugha. If the Jets can make a deal they will have assembled an Asomugha-Revis cornerback duo that could be considered the best ever. Look for this season to be full of surprises. The league power may shift, so look for teams like the Detroit Lions, the St. Louis Rams, and the Houston Texans to be relevant. Although they are young, they have the potential to make some giant leaps in the league this year and contend for division titles.

Update - July 2011 - The NFL Lockout Ends

After 135 days of ups and downs, uncertainty, and agonizing stalemate, the NFL Lockout has finally come to an end. Today, the NFL and the players voted to pass a labor agreement that has been months in the making. Only the plaintiffs' signatures remain, which is considered a formality.

With this clutch decision, the NFL managed to save the entire regular season, which will go on as scheduled. The only cancellation is the first preseason game between the Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams, which was supposed to be played on August 7th.

Moving forward, the NFL will be chaos for the next few weeks as teams, coaches, and players scramble to get ready for the impending season start. Free agents will be eligible to be signed on Friday, and teams can start negotiating as early as 10am tomorrow morning. It's sure to be the craziest free agency period yet.
