Jacksonville’s current agreement to play at Wembley Stadium began in 2013 and will end in 2016. This year, the Jaguars will travel to London to play the Buffalo Bills Oct. 25. Under the present arrangement, the NFL designates Jacksonville as the home team in its London contests, meaning the franchise receives two-thirds of the ticket revenue generated by the games and has access to local sponsorship revenue. If Khan gets his way, the Jaguars will continue to enjoy the benefits of that access for at least the next 15 years.
The NFL’s revenue-sharing model divides leaguewide earnings from corporate sponsorships, media-rights deals and a portion of ticket sales equally among all its 32 franchises. But franchises are free to pursue team-specific income through their portion of ticket sales at home games, stadium naming-rights deals and local sponsorships.
In this sense, Jacksonville executives say the club’s annual participation in the London series has had a noticeable effect on the franchise’s bottom line. The Jaguars play only one game in London per season, but they draw 15 percent of their team-specific revenue from the U.K. city, ESPN reported. The club’s earnings through sponsorships, including London deals, rose 29 percent in 2013, the first year the Jaguars played at Wembley.

The season ticket holders are charged for 7 regular season games instead of 8.
Articles state that the Home team gets a 1 million dollar incentive as well as a greater % of the London game tickets and merch. Throw in a sellout crowd of 84,021 for a Home team like the Jags at Wembley and it makes financial sense for a team that struggles to sell-out.

Home teams (as far as I know) sell pre season as part of their package, making it 10 games not 8. My question was have teams going to London raised ticket prices, offsetting most of this single game move or are teams actually letting them save money. Teams raise prices all the time. It wouldn't be difficult for a team to sneak a little extra increase into the ticket sales in the hopes of getting a little extra cash.

1. Do you stink?
2. If yes, are your fans apathetic and wouldn't care if you lost a home game?
3. If yes, do you like more money?
4. If yes, you're our team!

Not so. The Rams played the Cheatriots in London. Its voluntary and perhaps a way to gain favor with the league office.
