There was more information on the website as well, such as the games with the highest demands. As of yesterday morning, the average ticket price for Las Vegas was $587. The Seattle Seahawks had the second-highest at $458.
As for specific games with the most demand, the Raiders’ home opener against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 21 is the second most in-demand. Boy oh boy, what a way to open up your stadium. The game will also be the scheduled Monday Night Football contest.
