Best time to buy NFL tickets online?

mrvax : 10/9/2015 4:53 pm
I've only been to 1 Giants game but I plan on heading to Tampa Bay next month to watch our team beat the Bucs.

The cheapest tickets I see on Stubhub are $100 pp for nose bleed section. I'm on a tight budget and would appreciate if I could get some advice on when to make that purchase. I need 2 tickets.

I believe I read on BBI some folks saying to wait until a few days before the game. Others may have said to buy early. When is the best time to buy these tickets and what is the best site to get them from?

A sincere thank you.
Are you close enough to go

without a ticket? Day of the game at the stadium might be the most cost effective way.
I thought about that but I'll

be going with my daughter and likely taking a tour bus from Orlando right to Raymond James Stadium.

I really don't want to take that risk and I would not be able to tell real tickets from counterfeit.

It works for nascar, so I would try that, I just purchased $150 nascar tic at Charlotte for about $80 including fees. Nice seats high up, middle of the track.

My advice to you is this...
1. Buy your tickets on the ticket exchange or stub hub. Your tickets will be delivered to you by the exchange or the hub electronically. You print them out at home and then get on the bus.
2. If you are able to wait until the morning of the game, you will get last minute people looking to dump their tickets.

3. Not sure how much the bus is going to cost you but I can hook you up with a great rental car price. 24 hour rate may be less than your bus fare for two people.

* if the tix come from the ticket exchange, they are guaranteed. If you buy from Stub hub and something happens (extremely rare), they will make it right by buying and sending tickets to your phone.
