Where to Find Steelers Tickets

By , About.com GuideAugust 23, 2007

Follow me on:

The Steelers season home opener against the Buffalo Bills is just a few short weeks away, but what are fans without season tickets to do? Add your name to the waiting list for Steelers season tickets, of course - but expect to wait at least 10 years before you reach the top of the list, and possibly much longer. The waiting list does give you a few opportunities per year to get your hands on single game tickets, however, so all is not lost.

Another avenue to try is the Steelers Web site, where the Steelers TicketExchange allows fans to resell tickets for games they are unable to attend through an agreement with Ticketmaster. The downside to the scalping limits (they follow the old state law of no more than 25% over the ticket's face value) and extra security of getting a ticket that you know is legit, is that there are often no Steelers tickets here for sale. So where to now?

A little known change to Pennsylvania law has lifted the 25% markup restriction for selling tickets through online venues, as long as the Internet marketplace has a physical presence in the state. This means that you can often find Pittsburgh Steelers Tickets at popular Internet ticket sites such as TicketsNow.com. Just be prepared to pay, because many sellers want a bit more than the standard 25% markup we're all used to.
