After the Las Vegas Raiders brought smiles to Silver & Black fans with a Hall of Fame preseason game win in Canton, Ohio Thursday, the Raiders will play two preseason home games at Allegiant Stadium where the secondary market ticket prices will be among the highest in the NFL.

Two of the three most average expensive tickets on the secondary market are for the Raiders vs Patriots game ($128) Aug. 26 and the Raiders vs Vikings game ($114) Aug. 14, according to TickPick, a no-fee ticket site.

The average ticket prices of those two Raiders home exhibition games are only out done by the Cowboys vs Broncos game, $129, according to TickPick.

The Raiders/Vikings game Aug. 14 will mark the one-year anniversary of the first game  with fans inside domed Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders hosted the Seattle Seahawks Aug. 14, 2021 for the first Raiders home game ever with fans after fans were not allowed in the venue for home games in 2020.

The Raiders played in the NFL’s first preseason game in 2022 with a 27-11 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars Thursday evening in Canton after a weather delay.

The Raiders jumped out to a 20-0 lead at halftime behind solid quarterback performances of Jarrett Stidham and Nick Mullens, while rookie running back Zamir White impressed fans with some tough, bone-jarring runs.

The Raiders’ next preseason game is Aug. 14 at 4:25PM when the Minnesota Vikings visit Allegiant Stadium.

When it comes the regular season, secondary market ticket prices for Las Vegas Raiders home games are the most expensive in the National Football League.
