The Best and Worst Days to Buy Bucs Playoff Tickets

Author Geno

It wasn’t pretty.  They crawled across the finish line, but your Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making another run for the Super Bowl… even though they finished at just about .500 for the year.  With the win against the Panthers on January 7, the Bucs finished 9-8 for the season.  But that was enough to clinch the division as the Carolina Panthers finished 2-15 and the Atlanta Falcons finished with a 7-10 record.  So on we go. Want to try to snag tickets for the game? We’re here to tell you the best and worst days to buy Bucs playoff tickets.

The NFL announced the Bucs would host the Monday Night Football game next week against the Philadelphia Eagles.  Before you bust out the credit card and pick your seat at Raymond James Stadium, the math wizards at Financebuzz ran the numbers to see exactly when is the BEST and WORST day to buy tickets.  They looked at ticket sales on sites like Stub Hub and found that you can actually save almost 1/4 on the cost of tickets… IF you buy them on the right day.

When is that day?  They say the sweet spot, believe it or not, is game day itself.  Maybe it’s because scalpers are in a panic that they’ll get stuck with no buyer.  Maybe it’s because those who have to travel or make advance plans to buy tickets are now out of the market of buyers.  But for whatever reason, they found the average ticket cost on game day to be $143.63 on game day… the biggest price drop of the week. Not a lot of people take advantage of the last-minute price drop. Finance Buzz explains that only 4% of tickets are sold on game day.

So that’s the smart day to buy Bucs playoff tickets- when will you pay the most?  Between today (January 10, 2024) and 4 days before the game, they think tickets will be the priciest.  They think 4 days before game day will be the peak of ticket prices for Monday’s game.  So plan accordingly if you want to see what could be one of the best upsets in Bucs history. [Source: Financebuzz]

Won’t be able to make it to Raymond James? Here are our favorite spots in Tampa to watch the Bucs!

Beat The Heat: 7 Best Indoor Spots To Watch The Bucs In Tampa

Football season is here! While game tickets are much cheaper than last year because of Tom’s retirement, it’s still almost better to watch the game at these Tampa spots. First, you get to beat the heat and watch the game in some AC. Secondly, you’ll most likely be able to see what else is going on in the league that day. Lastly, while we said game tickets are cheaper this year, you’ll still cough up a lot of dough for parking and stadium food. Save some money by just drinking a couple of beers at these places! These are our favorite spots in Tampa to watch a Bucs game when we can’t make it to Raymond James Stadium.

As fun as it is to hear the canons fire for touchdowns, making it to most home games can be challenging. Not to mention that we would turn into a puddle of sweat before the first quarter is even over. Sometimes we prefer to be able to sit down, relax, and still enjoy some Buccaneer football in an air-conditioned environment. And since we love our Bucs here in Tampa, we’ll always be surrounded by fellow fans.

Able to make it to the game? Check out our favorite restaurants that are super close to Raymond James Stadium and skip the overpriced stadium food!
