Seahawks Playoff Run Drives Up Ticket Prices

- The Seahawks' recent playoff appearance marks their 21st in franchise history. They have won two Super Bowls, the first in the 2013 season against the Denver Broncos and the most recent in the 2025 season against the New England Patriots. - This season's Super Bowl ticket prices are the second most expensive in the last four years, with the "get-in" price hovering around $6,542 about two weeks before the game. For comparison, the face value for tickets to Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 ranged from $800 to $1,900. - The team's on-field success has significantly boosted its franchise value, with estimates reaching as high as $10 billion to $11 billion following their latest Super Bowl win. This has fueled speculation about a potential sale of the team, which is currently held by the estate of the late Paul Allen. - The high demand for tickets has historically led to legal issues. In 2015, the Washington Attorney General sued a ticket seller for deceptively selling "guaranteed" Super Bowl tickets they didn't possess, impacting dozens of fans who had already paid for tickets and travel. - Fans seeking last-minute tickets should be wary of counterfeit operations. In the past, law enforcement has seized hundreds of fake Super Bowl tickets and warned of scams involving counterfeit merchandise. - The Seahawks' franchise has a strong financial track record, with a Forbes valuation of approximately $6.7 billion in 2025. The team's brand alone is valued at $389 million. - Over the past decade, from February 2016 to February 2026, the Seahawks have maintained a .500 record in the playoffs, with 5 wins and 5 losses. Since 2006, their playoff record is 15 wins and 11 losses. - The intense fan interest has occasionally led to unusual incidents, including fans running onto the field during the Super Bowl, resulting in arrests for trespassing.
