Steelers are 3rd in NFL Ticket Sales

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have emerged as the third best-selling team in the NFL this season, according to recent data from StubHub. The ticket sales platform reports that the Steelers trail only the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders in demand, highlighting the team's strong fan engagement. Notably, Pittsburgh is featured in the top three most sought-after games, facing off against the Cowboys, Raiders, and Falcons. The surge in ticket sales for the Steelers, which has seen nearly a 50% increase compared to the previous season, is attributed to heightened fan interest surrounding the team's quarterback situation. Following the trade of Kenny Pickett, the Steelers have signed notable quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, generating excitement among supporters eager to see how the new lineup performs. StubHub's rankings, based on ticket sales data as of August 19, indicate a broader trend across the league, with an overall 38% increase in sales compared to the start of last season. This uptick reflects a growing enthusiasm for NFL games as fans return to stadiums. As the Steelers conclude their preseason with a game against Detroit on Saturday at 1 p.m., Wilson is expected to start, with Fields likely to follow. The team is set to kick off the regular season on September 8 in Atlanta, which is currently the third best-selling game of the year.
