So You Wanna See the Broncos Ride? A Guide to Not Getting Bucked by Ticket Prices
Let's face it, Denver Broncos tickets ain't exactly cheap. But hey, who wants to watch their team from a screen door away? You deserve the electric Mile High atmosphere, the roar of the crowd, the questionable wardrobe choices of your fellow fans (it's Denver, anything goes). But before you start hawking your grandma's dentures to afford a seat, this guide will help you navigate the wild world of Broncos ticket prices.
The Great Ticket Divide: Preseason vs. Regular Season vs. Playoffs
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Preseason: Think of it as the Broncos' summer fling. Prices are chill, around $13 for a nosebleed seat. Perfect for catching a glimpse of rookies and backups vying for that last roster spot (and maybe some awkward trick plays).
Regular Season: Here's where things get interesting. Like that friend who orders the most expensive thing on the menu, a good regular season seat can set you back a pretty penny. But hey, you get to see the real deal under the bright lights. Expect prices to range from around $200 for the upper deck to way more than your car for a cushy field-level seat. The opponent matters! A game against a hated rival like the Raiders will cost more than a matchup with, well, whoever the Jacksonville Jaguars are playing this week.
Playoffs: Buckle up, buttercup. These tickets are rarer than a complimentary smile from a Denver driver. Expect to spend more than your rent (and maybe your firstborn child) to witness the Broncos battle it out for that Lombardi Trophy.

Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Seat Location: Let's be honest, some seats are just better for celebrating a touchdown with a high five from your neighbor, without accidentally elbowing them in the face. The closer you are to the action, the steeper the price tag.
The Day of the Game: Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you wait until the last minute, you might snag a deal from a fan who suddenly needs to "attend to a very important nacho emergency." But this is a gamble, friend.

QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Hit the Secondary Market: Sites like SeatGeek and StubHub can offer deals, but be wary of shady sellers.
Befriend a Season Ticket Holder: Know someone who bleeds orange and blue? Season ticket holders often get access to discounted tickets for individual games. Just be prepared to repay the favor with endless rounds of nachos and high fives.
Follow the Broncos: The team sometimes releases limited numbers of discounted tickets. Keep an eye on their social media and website.
Bonus Tip: Don't underestimate the power of a handwritten note left on your neighbor's door. "Hey there, fellow Broncos fanatic! Looking to sell 2 tickets to the upcoming game? Willing to barter with homemade cookies and eternal gratitude." It's a long shot, but hey, you never know!
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
