Bucs Tickets On Secondary Market Are Really Cheap
May 17th, 2023
Earlier this week, Joe shared an excerpt of the popular NFL podcast “GM Shuffle,” where co-host and VSiN personality Femi Abebefe was angry that Roger Goodell’s outfit is forcing Abebefe to watch two Bucs primetime games this year.
“Who wants to watch this team?” Abebefe grumbled.
It seems Bucs fans aren’t even all that motivated.
Darren Rovell of Action Network has researched tickets available on the secondary market and he found the market for Bucs tickets has absolutely cratered.
Last year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the 5th most expensive ticket in the NFL (average: $359), per @tickpick.
This year, without Tom Brady?
$179 average. Third cheapest in NFL.

No, Rovell did not list the two teams with cheaper average ticket prices than Tampa Bay.
Joe has mentioned a few times that there is no buzz about this team entering its first season in the post-Tom Brady era. Whatever method the Bucs are using to sell Kyler Traskfield to fans, both Bucs fans and NFL fans in general, well, the message and method are not resonating. At all.

Shoot that’s still a profit for the average season ticket holder. Ive given my seats away plenty of times for these 1pm games at ray j lol 😂 not so much with Brady but yeah we’ll see

No doubt about it, we are definitely “under the radar”

Is this really that surprising? Bowles + current QB “room” = snoozer. In a QB and head coach driven league, The Bucs are at or near the bottom.

When your new HC takes basically the same team and league history best qb from the top offensive scoring team to struggling to score 1 TD a game, the majority of people are going to HIGHLY DOUBT they will vastly improve without the league history best qb!

Bottom 3 HC+ bottom 3 QB room = bottom 3 in ticket sale price
Seems like a very basic equation – we are hoping for a miracle while others are manning for battle
I read today where Todd’s second year with the Jets he propelled their rushing offense all the way to #11 in the league – dedicated to the run – the issue was they were the worst passing and scoring offense in the league…and a 5-11 record
Why would anyone think we are going to be even competitive?

what a great value!! We get to see our Bucs kick butt for little or nothing!!
May 17th, 2023 at 1:18 am
So many negative Nellies! These are Bucs fans who will actually be disappointed when we win the division because they have so much hate for the coach! Interesting!!

I’m interested in how long the Glazers are going to let this go on. Being that, THIS IS A BUSINESS and the “Team Valuation” has TANKED along with the interest nationally.
This feels JUST LIKE before Arians came along.
DOES EVERYBODY REMEMBER THAT??
If the Glazers don’t ACT and RESPOND QUICKLY, this thing is going to get away from us all again! SERIOUSLY! Back to the Den Of Depression!
And THAT’S WHY so many of us were begging for Licht to ACT LAST YEAR! To take the O line seriously. To BRING BACK SUH! To GET RID OF Leftwich BEFORE mid season! He (Licht) and They, (Glazers) DID NOTHING!
And we witnessed with our eyes, begging, kicking, and SCREAMING for SOMEONE to do SOMETHING before it was To Late! It feel on deaf ears.
It may actually be to late to stop the Express Train to FULL BLOWN IRRELEVANCY.
Everybody seems to forget how the ENTIRE NATION liked it when we were the EASY TEAM TO BEAT. THE LAUGHINGSTOCK of NFL! THE LOSINGEST TEAM IN SPORTS HISTORY!
It seems A LARGE AMOUNT of supposed fans are BEGGING FOR FOOLS GOLD in the journeyman qb Baker Mayfield.
You people MIGHT WELL be the reason why we have been SO LOUSY FOR SO LONG. SO WILLING TO EXCEPT LAST PLACE , LOW QUALITY !
You SHOULD BE DEMANDING that TRASK IS PUT FRONT AND CENTER IMMEDIATELY! And if he isn’t “THAT GUY””, “THE GUY”, then you SHOULD BE DEMANDING that we Draft THE HIGHEST RATED QB TALENT POSSIBLE!
That’s what YOU SHOULD BE DOING! NOT BEGGING for one of the WORST JOURNEYMEN out there to lead your team!
Wake Up before it’s TO LATE and Demand EXCELLENCE and a REAL QB!
If you think Baker Mayfield is THE ANSWER, don’t count me with you.

I take back and apologize for the “supposed fans” comment. That wasn’t cool of me to say.
YOU’RE STILL FOOLISH and have seriously bad judgment when it comes to a qb! But it doesn’t mean you’re not a fan. Sorry

Would you rather spend your money watching the Bucs or Rays. I’ll watch the Rays bc they are winners.
Bucs need to prove themselves again before people will show up.

I CAN’T BELIEVE THE PESSIMISM OF SO MANY FICKLE FANS..I’M TELLING YOU ALL BETWEEN OUR RETURNING VETS, OUR EXCITING DRAFT PICKS, THE UDFA’S WE HAVE AQQUIRED WE ARE GOING TO SHOCK THE NFL WORLD THIS SEASON ! ! !..WE ARE GOING TO WIN OUR 3RD STRAIGHT DIVISION TITLE & HOST OUR FIRST PLAYOFF GAME AGAIN..IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE AGAINST THE COWBOYS AGAIN, THE SCORE WILL BE REVERSED & WE WILL WIN 31-14 & ADVANCE TO THE 2ND ROUND ! ! !..ALL THESE SO-CALLED EXPERTS ARE’NT GIVING US ANY RESPECT AT ALL..WE WILL BE “THE UNDERDOG IN MOST EVERY GAME THE 1ST HALF OF THE SEASON, BUT ONCE THE LEAGUE REALIZE’S WE ARE FOR REAL, THAT WILL ULTIMATELY CHANGE..”WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR WINNING WAYS IN SPITE OF ALL THE DEBBIE DOUBTERS OUT THERE,REGARDLESS OF WHO WINS THE STARTING QB JOB !..BUT, ONE PLAYER WE NEED TO AQUIRE TO INSURE THIS HAPPENS IS THROUGH A TRADE WITH THE CHARGERS FOR “AUSTIN ECKLER” TO GIVE US THAT ELUSIVE HARD RUNNING & EXCELLENT RECIEVING VETERAN BACK TO ASSURE THE SUCCESS NEEDED IN OUR RUNNING ATTACK TO OPEN UP THE PLAY ACTION PASSING GAME WE MUST HAVE..LET’S GO BUC”S ! ! !

Ready for Super Bowles. All want to see the Up the Gut excitement of the game plan guru. Tix will be super cheap in the parking lots pre game.

Mayfield doesn’t impress me. I’m rooting for Trask. His record has been coming through and delivering when no one really expected him to. We have won two SBs with pocket passers who were big guys. Trask makes Mayfield look like a midget. Mayfield leads the league in interceptions since he was drafted. He might have a career as an emergency backup. I just don’t have any confidence in him as our starter, and I’m worried that Bowles won’t give Trask a legitimate shot at leading the team. I believe the Bucs can win the division with Trask. I’ll leave it at that.

Actually the Monday night game we have there’s also another game on an hour later. So in reality the nation will only have to watch the bucs on their lone Thursday night appearence.

IF I TYPE IN ALL CAPS, WHAT I SAY IS MORE IMPORTANT, SO READ MY COMMENTS!!!! SMH

$179 for a ticket is third cheapest! F…ing ridiculous! I love football as much as anyone but how did we as fans allow prices to get this out of control. Players who would be working at Walmart if they weren’t playing football are able to demand $265,000,000 for just 5 years. I would have to work nearly 4000 years to earn that in my job. Insane!

I’m with Tommy I believe that we will have a good year so long all you band wagon people I’ve been a season ticket holder since 98 I’ve seen it all this look s like a good team

The ole .. too much to do on a beautiful Florida weekend than spend hundreds of dollars and all day for a disappointing experience

Nice, back to the day of being able to get club seats for $110 the day before the game. Personally I’ll never go back to sitting in the peasant seating, but I also don’t have any interest in dropping over $1000 for a couple of club seats to watch the Bucs vs the Panthers.
