I've never been to an NBA or NFL

$54 for a ticket at PNC (all you can eat)


Most of mine are $26-$36 (Reds games)

Planning on ASG in Cincy next year so this number will be stupidly higher once those are purchased.

Yeah...haven't went to an OSU game in over 20 years and I've never paid for the tickets. The Marshall games I hit up are only about $35

I spent $180ish on a ticket to the Jets/Colts AFC Championship game. I went to all 4 of the recents Reds home playoff games but the most expensive ticket was around $75. I've been to the diamond seats a few times, but the only time I ever had to buy tickets myself was to the futures game before the 2013 season. I think they were $60/each but we still got the full buffet and open bar.

This Pirates game is why I'm leery of ever buying playoff tickets....if the Reds ever make it to an NLCS or WS I'll cave but I'm a flat out "no way in hell" until that far into the playoffs.

$750 for final four weekend tickets. What I learned though is buy the Saturday games before you go for about half of that and the. You can find championship tickets for super cheap like $20-$50 dollars.

I will add the most expensive tickets I was given were ones to Friday of the 2002 Ryder Cup in Detroit. I believe they were worth $300 a piece which was more than the 2005 MLB All-Star Game ones were in Detroit

I've been to 6 playoff games between the Reds and Jets. They've won one of them (Jets @ Bengals).

$ 150.00 each for two tickets to the Indians/Braves World Series at The Jake in 1995 for my wife and I. Two hall of fame pitchers in Hershiser and Maddox, and the Indians won the game... Priceless :) (poor seats also in the right field upper deck, three rows from the top on a cold, cold night)

If the Browns ever make it to the Auper Bowl, that will be the most I would ever spend on a single ticket

Usually I wouldn't pay that much, but I wasn't able to go to the other 2 games in the series, so I splurged on one game. they lost that game and won the other two, figures.

$250 for second row seats on the 30 yard line to Ohio State-Northwestern last year. Ended up being a great game at least.

I don't remember how much I've spent. Probably not much more than $100/ticket. I did sell two Kentucky/Florida tickets for $500 each the year UK won the championship. They were't even that great; I would've been happy with $200 each.

I went to the ALDS and ALCS in 2007, but tickets were not expensive. My name was drawn in the lottery and I bought 8 standing room only tickets for each. It was easy finding people willing to go. I can't remember the price/ticket, but it really wasn't bad. I also went to the WC play-in game last year, but it was less than $100.

I used to go see the Cavs in the playoffs every year, but always bought Loudville tickets fairly cheap or managed to get in free. It's good to have great friends.

I don't think I have ever paid more than $75 for a Browns ticket, even sitting down low.

For me, it's probably only about $50. I've spent much more on concert tickets that sporting events. I just have a hard time dropping a bunch of money on events that I can watch on TV on a weekly basis. I've been to some high dollar sporting events, in some high dollar seats, but those were all given. I guess I did drop about $80/ticket to a Reds @ Cubs game a few summers ago, but that is only b/c I was an idiot and went through StubHub.
