Conference Championship tickets won't be available until the game is confirmed and the Seahawks charge all the credit cards. Most likely the morning after the Seahawks win in the Divisional Round.

There is no face value chart for any of the playoff tickets. They never published one. They didn't even tell season ticket holders what various tickets would cost... they gave a big ballpark as obviously it varied a lot depending if we had a wild card round game, or not, and each round is quite a bit more expensive than the last.

It's also made more complicated by the fact that there are at least four different face values for a given ticket. The face value to the public on Ticketmaster is, frankly, outrageously high. The face value for additional tickets bought by a season ticket holder is quite a bit lower. The face value for regular season seats for a new season ticket holder is a bit lower still, and then even lower are the face value for regular season seats held by someone who has had tickets since before I think it is 2008.

My seats are in Section 109 and require the ownership of charter seat licenses (expensive). The divisional round are $650 or so each. Similar seats bought as "add on" were north of $700. I've had my seats for a long time. Ticketmaster face value for these seats is absurd, around $2000, higher than most resale tickets.

The NFC championship games will be north of $1000 per ticket to a long term season ticket holder in the lower level near the 50 yard line.

As a side note, I have two pair of seats for the divisional round that are currently listed online at reasonable market based prices, lower level, visitor side. I'd love to sell them to Seahawks fans and avoid all the fees. Feel free to PM if you'd like details. (I bought them expecting more demand from friends, which didn't pan out, but the opportunity to defray some of my costs looms large. I've spent about $25k on Seahawks tickets this year...) I don't think I'll have any NFCCG extras, though.

Thank you for all this information. I actually used to be a season ticket holder. Started at the Kingdome. I moved away in 2005 and had to give up the tickets. I’ve been fortunate to be able to come back for several regular season and playoff games, including the three NFC CC games.

The dreaded “I bought extra tickets for friends” thing. I can’t tell you how many times I have done that before. Usually wound up selling the extras, like you are. I wish I could do both but if it happens, the CC game is my best bet.

Not exactly true. In my account manager, there is a balance due for the Conference Championship, should we win Divisional round, that is charged if we win. I have 2 tickets in the South EZ lower level. They are $416 ea.

I can also see my ticket price for the NFC Championship game. I sit right over the tunnel in 332 and I have an original season ticket account. Mine are $382 plus ticket master fees. I can’t see what the fees will be. I’m guessing any tickets that make it to the secondary market will be $500 plus on the cheap side. For reference the divisional round tickets were $288 per ticket including fees.

Back in Seattle.
There will be no tickets under $1K on the secondary market if we make it to the championship game. Many of those will be bought by the fans of the opponent.

A number of years ago they only allowed tickets to be purchased by people within areas/zip codes that are associated with the Seahawks fan demographic (WA, OR, MT, ID, AK, HI). I wonder if they would do that again?

Pretty sure season ticket holders get first shot to buy their seats in the playoffs. That's the way it was back when I had them.

I have two tickets for Divisional Playoff game next, probably Saturday, Jan 17th vs 49ers or Rams. Seahawks Fans only. Face plus (any fees depending on how paid.) Section 120, Row DD on Aisle, 4 rows above the walkway. Go Seahawks!
Fees for PayPal or Venmo buyer protection equals about $25, so total will be $625 for two tix.

The prices have been there the whole time for season ticket holders. It will be $950 ish for NFC championship, maybe less for you if you have the older pricing.

If you log into your account on Ticketmaster and pull up invoices you can see it. They shared it when they announced the $1 charge to make sure your card was current

I think that was for additional release tickets

For Superbowl I think they required pickup in person

Just a heads up for anyone looking for tickets to either game, these are the prices for Season Ticket holders. I would expect a pretty decent bump if you are buying off a secondary market, so plan accordingly!
Holy Toledo.

I thought my Mammoth (NHL) season tickets were expensive. I can’t see how a hard working middle class fam can afford to enjoy any of the big four live nowadays. For the price of one game for a family of four plus concessions and parking, you could buy the best 83 inch OLED made on the market and enjoy all the games in 4k.

I don’t have ‘wealth’ per se, but I have an income that far exceeds the median and I’m not sure I could swing $25k a year like @BocciHawk. Well, maybe I could, but it would require some serious trimming elsewhere.

I am however in the market for the NFCCG if we make it, so please DM me before listing extra tickets. Why pay the fees, when I can just Venmo or PP F&F directly and you can insure that the seats will be occupied by rabid fans.

My Superbowl tickets for SB48 were hand delivered by my ticket rep, no joke LOL.

Bump

Update:
Wife has decided to wait and see if we make the NFCCG

I’d like to come for the divisional game, but she’s right.

I was there when we beat the 9ers for the trip to 48, and that was truly amazing.

I’d hate to miss that experience again, and no way I could make both.
It’s a gamble I’m willing to take.

I’ll be looking for tickets to the NFCCG
not the divisional round.

Thanks in advance for any consideration/help
Yeah, that 9ers game was incredible, possibly matched only by the next year's against the Packers.

When the Hawks gave us the opportunity to buy up to 4 extra tickets for the playoffs I offered to buy some for friends and none of them were willing to pay face value. I was kind of stunned - living in a city that is hosting an NFL Championship game is kind of a rare thing.

Funny, when I was growing up in Texas, a Cowboys fan, the final game that mattered was the NFL Championship Game - both against the Packers. Those first two Super Bowls had no real significance to us. Joe Namath woke everyone up the next year.

Ours in N3 and K2, were much lower. There really aren't too many bad seats in this stadium - I sat in the corner nosebleeds for the 2014 game against the Packers, and it wasn't horrible. That ticket cost me over $500. The year before, against the 49'ers, we went for the "event of a lifetime" price - 2nd row, 50 yard line. I remember offering to buy nosebleed $500 seats. My girlfriend asked me how much the great seats were, and then responded: "Go big or go home." I love her for that.

Love seeing that you're selling for Face plus fees. Nicely done (y)
