If you are trying to get tickets for Sunday’s AFC Championship game, it’ll cost you. Our boy Ben Kessler at Seat Geek wrote a solid post about the cost of tickets today on Huffington Post:
If you’re trying to get to the Heinz Field on a “budget” it would be best if you were already in Pittsburgh so you wouldn’t have to pay for airfare or a hotel. If you are living in Pittsburgh, you can sit in the “cheap seats” for $246/ticket. However, if you’re living in the Tri-State area, it’s going to cost you a pretty penny to get to the game. The cheapest flight from New York to Pittsburgh is a nonstop Delta flight, which will cost you $367/ticket.
I’m lucky if I have enough for dinner at Applebees in my bank account so I’ll be perfectly happy sitting on the couch for this one.
In that same article, I give some keys to victory for the Steelers on Sunday. Rex Sanchez chimes in with their keys to a Jets win as well. One interesting snippet:
Do NOT trust Nick Folk: I say this every week because it’s true. It’s a good thing the Jets found the end zone last week because had they needed Folk he would’ve choked.
Much more on the game coming this weekend.
