HOUSTON – Coming off its first playoff appearance in franchise history, the Texans’ average ticket price for home games next season will increase by nearly 9 percent, the team announced Friday.
The teams says the average price will be $78.66, up 8.5 percent from $72.47 this past season.
“Our fans have created one of the best home field advantages in the NFL, as anyone who saw the Wild Card game can attest,” said John Schriever, Texans vice president of ticketing and event services. “We want to continue to make our games accessible to a broad audience while still pricing in a manner that reflects the strong demand for our tickets. Fielding a championship caliber team and delivering a world class experience for our fans requires us to generate revenues that keep pace with our competition.”
Team officials anticipate ticket prices will still be in the bottom half of all NFL franchises.
The Texans have sold out 101 straight games – 10 straight seasons - at Reliant Stadium, the longest sellout streak of any professional sports team in Houston history.
The Texans’ 2012 home schedule includes several marquee opponents, including the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Ravens along with division rivals Indianapolis, Jacksonville and Tennessee. The Texans will also host Miami, Buffalo and Minnesota.
