Playoff tickets are fetching an average of $1,097 for the Lions home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in Detroit, easily the most expensive Divisional playoff game on record and the second-most expensive non-Super Bowl playoff game, according to online marketplace TickPick. Even standing room-only seats are selling for almost $700, according to TickPick.
The entire Detroit economy is cashing in on the team's rare playoff success.
Visitors have been flocking to downtown Detroit following the team's win over the Rams last weekend, which was the first playoff victory in 32 years. Restaurants, hotels, bars and casinos are experiencing soaring demands.
Sunday’s playoff game alone is projected to boost the Detroit metro economy by $52 million, according to consulting firm Anderson Economic Group.
