Crazy Demand for NFL Tickets in Berlin: Throngs of Fans Desperate for a Seat
Mass Demand: Over Two Hundred Thousand Seek NFL Tickets in Berlin - Massive Demand for NFL Tickets in Berlin: Tickets to NFL Games in Berlin Draw over a Hundred Thousand Requests
Berlin's Olympic Stadium is drawing hundreds of thousands of NFL enthusiasts, eager to catch the Indians Colts versus the Atlanta Falcons on November 9th. Some fans find themselves staring down a line of nearly half a million wannabes, according to vivid social media snaps. A mere 75,000 tickets granted admittance to the Olympiastadion Berlin.
As of now, NFL hasn't disclosed ticket sale numbers, but past games have vanished like hotcakes-with the Munich and Frankfurt matches selling out in a flash. The Germany premiere in Munich last year saw organizers boasting they could offload around three million tickets.
Don't let the crowd deter you, though. Tickets for this Berlin showdown can be yours for as little as 80 euros, soaring up to a whopping 399 euros. Youth tickets are available in two budget-friendly categories, too.
Minutes post-ticketing, greedy buyers were already flipping their seats on the secondary market for kilobucks-prices as high as 2,917 euros, listed on Viagogo.

It's no secret-Germany is the NFL's dream market, with an ever-growing love for the game sweeping across the country. According to league estimates, around 19 million fans reside here, with 3.6 million ardent followers. NFL Germany CEO Alexander Steinforth boldly declared in spring: “We are the number one growth market for the NFL.”
