FOX 26 consumer reporter Heather Sullivan shares tips for scoring savings on Houston Texans tickets.

Houston - Ticket prices for the Texans shot up last year after they won the AFC South for the second consecutive year and once again advanced to the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

By the numbers:

Sports Illustrated reports prices more than doubled from an average of $155 in 2023 to $309 in 2024.

This year, SeatGeek says the average resale ticket price for a Houston Texans home game is $290, just below the average for an NFL game.

Ways to save

What they're saying:

To save money, what you don't want to do is fall for a fake ad or scam.  We found a post on Facebook saying team owner Cal McNair announces $10 tickets, but a Texans spokesperson tells us this ad is fake.  

What you can do:

There are plays you can make to score savings for real.

Choose off-peak games that are less popular to attend.  SeatGeek says, right now, these are the cheapest home games:  Texans vs. the Arizona Cardinals for $72, Texans vs. the Indianapolis Colts for $76, and the Texans vs. the Tennessee Titans for $88.

SeatGeek also offers Deal Score on tickets, which rates value based on pricing, seat location, and historical trends.

Several ticket selling platforms let you set price alerts so that you're notified as soon as a good deal becomes available on tickets you want.

Choose upper-level seats in NRG Stadium.

Wait until the last day or two before a game when prices often drop on the secondhand market.

Shop around.  You can compare prices on different ticket selling platforms.

You can find authenticated NFL tickets at the NFL Ticket Network, which includes TicketMaster, SeatGeek, and SITickets.

Be sure to check the Houston Texans Contests and Promotions web page, which offers deals, such as a TDECU Texans Checking account that offers pre-sale ticket opportunities and discounts.

And to make sure you have safety in the end zone from ticket fraud, avoid buying from individual sellers or sites that don't offer price protection.
