Dallas Cowboys fans are losing their minds over astronomical ticket prices for Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns.
The Dallas Cowboys earned the label “America’s Team” for a reason.
Year after year, they are the most divisive team in the NFL, and their fan base spans the United States and even the globe.
Heading into 2024, the Cowboys are receiving more attention than ever.
Jerry Jones is approaching the new season without handing his franchise quarterback, Dak Prescott, a contract extension. He will play in 2024 as the final year of his deal, and unless he can overcome the playoff demons that have plagued him throughout his NFL career and lead Dallas to a Super Bowl this season, Prescott may play for a different team in 2025.
Beyond the uncertainty with Prescott, the team has decisions to make about the future of two of its biggest stars. The Dallas Cowboys are expected to make CeeDee Lamb one of the highest paid wide receivers in the NFL and Micah Parsons, who they exercised the 5th-year option on in March, is due to become one of the highest paid defenders in the league.
The 2024 Cowboys will be expected to replicate the success they have had over the last three regular seasons without key pieces from last year’s squad. Dallas has finished with a (12-5) record in each of the last three regular seasons, but have choked in the playoffs when it mattered the most.
Dallas Cowboys Week 1 Tickets vs. Cleveland Browns Are Insanely Expensive, And Fans Are Going Crazy.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the Cowboys will begin the 2024 season on the road in Cleveland against the Browns.
Last season, the Cowboys went unbeaten at home, while the Browns finished with an overall record of (11-6).
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam appears to be capitalizing on the Dallas Cowboys’ home success last season, as indicated by current ticket pricing for the Browns’ home opener against the Cowboys on September 8.
One fan on X noted that the prices have officially been posted ahead of Wednesday’s NFL schedule reveal, and they are crazy. McNeil posted to X pointing out that “[the] cheapest opening day… …ticket [right now] is over $200”
The post goes on to say that the club-level seats range from $600 to $1400, which is crazy compared to the average opening day price in the NFL, ranging from $50 to $150, and some fans are not happy.
It’s hard to see if the Dallas Cowboys are driving the spike in prices or if it’s another factor surrounding the game.
One fan pointed out that there would be no point in attending an NFL game today as he would be watching all the games at home, commenting, “Dude, the couch is finna be the spot this year, lol.” Many fans share this sentiment.
Another fan commented on a possible reason for the hike in ticket prices. The reason may be that it will be the first game called by legendary quarterback Tom Brady on his Fox deal. The comment indicated that “the prices went up $120+” after the official announcement.
Whatever the reason, fans remain unhappy with the current prices for the Dallas Cowboys road opener against the Cleveland Browns, and hopefully, they will cool off in the near future as the NFL season gets underway in September.
