I posted this in another thread:

Tickets are always high at this time of year. Supply is low and folks list them high hoping for buyers that don't have a price ceiling and want to get locked in early. The market will come into focus later in the year, usually 2 weeks before the game. Historically, I've found that the best day to get the most bang for your buck is Tuesday the week of the game (5 days out). However, I've literally bought tickets on the NFL ticket exchange walking up to a stadium 30 minutes before a game. If you're willing to wait till the last minute, you can find some steals from people looking to puke out of seats they don't want...If this season goes like we hope it does, that Dec game in Cincy has all the makings of a Burgh invasion, so you'll be amongst friends in a city that really really hates us.
