    Las Vegas Raiders nearly sold out 2020

    Personal seats have nearly sold out at 96% for next year.

    Not that big of a deal.
    But it is news worthy, imo

    Of course. They will zero trouble selling tickets in Vegas. They could go 0-16 and would still sell out easy.

    Not at all. The PSL holders could make a fortune. Those tickets will sell for big $$$.

    Scalpers buying up all the tickets, right?

    Raiders games won't be home games. Fans might be 50/50 for Raiders and away teams.

    Yep. NFL weekends will be nuts in Vegas. Tickets will be hot, regardless of how good the Raiders are.

    Of course. And only 8 games. Those tickets will be a scorcher.

    I'm wondering if these Vegas tickets are priced higher than the going rate? Like... more than other NFL teams?

    It's corporations buying the tix. Few individuals can afford what they're charging.

    Also look for the Vegas Raiders to win the SB within a year or two.

    The Raiders will charge the highest face value of any NFL ticket. They will sell out every game. Corperate America loves Las Vegas. Can you imagine a weekend with the Golden Knights Playing on a Friday Night, UNLV playing on a Saturday, and the Raiders playing on Sunday?

    Being sold out doesn't mean the stadium is full; looking forward to getting tickets cheap when the Redskins play in 2021.

    It's gonna work out.

    If they can sell out a barn in northern Wisconsin with shitty broke fans, they're gonna be able to make a profit in the #1 tourist attraction in North America

    Transportation to/from the strip will be interesting. The stadium is super close but on the opposite side of the freeway and not really walk-able. At least not currently. It could be with a sky bridge over the freeway but it would still be a trek. The south end casinos have to be happy - Mandalay Bay, MGM, New York, Luxor, Excalibur are all right there.

    Yeah, guy's weekends in Vegas when their favorite teams are in town will be sick. I don't think it matters if the Raiders are any good or not. They'll have to bus the hookers in from all over just to keep up with demand.
