ExtremeRavens Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Tickets for Sunday’s game between the Ravens and Washington Commanders have increased by 232% from the start of the NFL season, according to a social media post from online ticketing marketplace TickPick. Entering the start of the season, the cheapest tickets for the game were $92 on TickPick’s website. As of Thursday afternoon, TickPick shared that the “get-in price” was $301. Only the Las Vegas Raiders’ home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday rivals that number. The surge in fan interest comes as the Commanders exceed preseason expectations. Washington was optimistic it could improve from its 4-13 season last year, but the Commanders weren’t expected to match last year’s win total through five weeks. Washington is 4-1 behind new coach Dan Quinn and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Last year’s Heisman Trophy winner at LSU, Daniels leads the NFL in completion rate (77.1%) and is the front-runner to win Offensive Rookie of the Year while simultaneously inserting himself in the NFL Most Valuable Player Award conversation. Washington is off to its best start through five games since 2008, and the Commanders lead the NFC East by a game over the Dallas Cowboys. It’s early in the season, but the Commanders join the Chiefs, Texans and Vikings as teams with at least four wins. Baltimore, which started 0-2, looks like it’s back to form as one of the NFL’s top franchises. A fourth-quarter comeback against the Bengals last week moved the Ravens’ winning streak to three games. They’ve been particularly successful offensively in 2024, leading the NFL in yards per game (447.6) and ranking second in points per game (29.4) behind the MVP-level play of quarterback Lamar Jackson. Only Daniels and the Commanders (31) score more points per game so far this season. The matchup between Jackson and Daniels is being viewed as one of the most intriguing quarterback duels of Week 6 in the NFL. The two possess similar ability to run and pass well, but their equally entertaining playing styles have stark differences. Using the secondary ticket market as a guide, the game with the Commanders is drawing more fan interest than other upcoming home games. Tickets are available on StubHub, another online ticketing marketplace, for as low as $118 for Baltimore’s Nov. 3 game vs. the Denver Broncos. A Thursday night game vs. the Bengals a few days later has StubHub tickets for $115. Tickets for the Philadelphia Eagles’ visit to M&T Bank Stadium on Dec. 1 are available for as low as $278, which is still less than the $288 tickets currently available on the platform for Sunday’s game with Washington. Sunday marks the third home game of Baltimore’s season. The Ravens are 1-1 at M&T Bank Stadium, losing to the Raiders and beating the Buffalo Bills in a blowout on national television.
