Aaron Rodgers Boosting Jets’ Ticket Sales on Stubhub

NEW YORK — With the Super Bowl set for Las Vegas this winter for the first time, the hometown Raiders return to the #1 position for NFL tickets according to Stubhub. This is the second time the Raiders are on top since relocating to the entertainment capital, besting the always top-selling Dallas Cowboys by 30%, who are now at #2. All three New York teams start the season with sales strong enough to make the top ten list, with the Jets accounting for the league’s biggest jump in sales, over last season.

Key highlights include:

• The Raiders climb to #1: the Vegas team jumps up three spots to land at #1 for the second time.
  • Raiders’ ticket sales have nearly tripled compared to last season at this time and are up 70% since 2021, when they were last ranked #1.
• Cowboys are a consistent force: they’ve appeared on every StubHub NFL Preview in either the #1 or #2 spot.
  • The Cowboys appear in three of the most in-demand games of the season and their rivalry matchup, against the San Francisco 49ers, is the #3 most in-demand game of the season.
• Miami rounds out the top 3: the Dolphins, ranked #3, have climbed six spots on the most in-demand list, from #9.
  • They have seen a sales increase of over 3x compared to this time last season.
• New York is ready for some football: all three New York teams – New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and New York Giants – make the in-demand teams list at the same time for the first time ever.
  • The Jets are the top trending team, seeing a 5.5x increase in sales compared to last season.
• Chiefs ride Super Bowl win into 2023: the Chiefs see the second biggest jump in sales as they try to become the first repeat Super Bowl champions since 2004.
  • The matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs is outselling all international games in 2022 and boasts over 67% more sales than last year’s game in Germany.
• NFL draws strongest global audiences, boosted by international games: buyers for all NFL games this season are coming from 74 different countries, 50% more countries than last season.
  • Increase in demand for international games is driving the globalization of the sport with total sales for this year’s five international games up 90% compared to this same time last year.

“Sales for this NFL season follow this year’s trend in surging sales for live events, with double the sales from last season, bolstered by quarterback shuffles and rising international popularity,” said Adam Budelli, spokesperson for StubHub. “Buyers from more than 74 countries have purchased tickets to NFL games this year, indicating tremendous popularity overseas with the Frankfurt and London games attracting buyers from 47 countries, alone; and the Jets, in particular, are trending with 5.5x the sales of last season’s start, as they set their season’s hopes on Aaron Rodgers.”
