Have you seen ticket prices after Burrow went down? You can buy a ticket to every game the rest of the season for the same price as 1 ticket was going for 2 weeks ago.
Post Joe contract, my tix for next season in Section 106 went up $500 each.
I’m talking from tickPick $75 for Sunday. 60 bucks for Vikings game.

Mind you, other then the Jeff Blake years, Bengals games almost never sold a ton of tickets until we signed Kitna and started turning the corner on the perpetual 3-13 seasons.
