The Seattle Seahawks are back to defend their Super Bowl title when they open the 2014 NFL season against the Green Bay Packers Thursday night. A continuing source of success both on the field and in the secondary ticket market, the Seahawks will again see ticket prices rise at CenturyLink Field after winning their first Super Bowl in franchise history last season. According to TiqIQ, the average secondary price for Seahawks tickets at home was $335.01 in 2013. As they begin their season in Seattle, the season average for the upcoming 2014 season is currently $393.07, marking a 17.3% year-over-year increase in secondary ticket price. The priciest home games on the Seattle Seahawks schedule include the 49ers, Broncos and Cowboys, each of who will visit Seattle in separate months over the course of the season.

The Seahawks open the NFL season when they play the Packers Thursdaynight in Seattle. The average secondary price for Seahawks vs Packers tickets is currently $380.48 on the secondary market, 3.2% below season average, with get-in price starting at $138. The Packers last visited CenturyLink Field in the regular season in 2012, where they lost 14-12. This season’s matchup will be the fourth most expensive home game on the Seahawks schedule, trailing just the Cowboys, Broncos and 49ers’ visits later in the season.
9/21 vs Denver Broncos | Avg. Price: $481.09 | Get-in: $175
The Broncos will travel to Seattle on September 21 and will serve as the Seahawks’ second highest-priced game of the season at home. The average secondary price for Seahawks vs Broncos tickets is currently $481.09, up 22.3% from season average, with a get-in price of $175, the most expensive get-in price of the season. The Broncos were embarrassed by the Seahawks in last season’s Super Bowl and the regular season rematch between the two teams will prove costly on the secondary market.
10/12 vs Dallas Cowboys | Avg. Price: $437.91 | Get-in: $133
The Seahawks will see their third most expensive game of the season when the Cowboys visit CenturyLink Field on October 12.

Despite three consecutive 8-8 seasons of mediocrity, the Cowboys will continue to drive secondary ticket price up this season. They will do just that when they visit Seattle in October, serving as one of the Seahawks’ top-priced games.
11/2 vs Oakland Raiders | Avg. Price: $360.83 | Get-in: $115
Despite an 11-year drought since their last winning season in 2002, the Raiders will keep secondary ticket prices high in Seattle when they visit on November 2. The average secondary price for Seahawks vs Raiders tickets is $360.83, 8.2% below the season average, with a get-in price of $115. The Raiders have won a collective eight games in the past eight seasons and are slated to struggle again in a competitive AFC West.
