49ers-Rams tickets reselling for the price of two stadium pretzels

Thursday night's Rams-49ers game may be the toughest sell in the history of Levi's Stadium.

As of Wednesday, resale tickets were being offered on StubHub for as low as $14 to see the team host the Los Angeles Rams at 7 p.m. That price is just cheaper than buying a pair of $7.50 pretzels through the Levi's Stadium app and comparable to the price of a beer and a hot dog at the the three-year-old arena. According to the team's seat licensing map, the cheapest original face value for any seat is $85.

Ticket sale aggregator TicketIQ listed a slightly higher minimum price from their partners at $17, still a bargain compared to all previous games at the stadium.

"The current get-in price of $17 is the Niners' cheapest game this season with an average asking price of $88 — also the cheapest of the season. The average ticket price across all remaining home games for them is $179," says Ralph Garcia of TicketIQ, who says the team has seen the average list price decline 32 percent since the stadium opened in 2014, according to their internal numbers. "This is, however, the 49ers' cheapest home game since the move to Levi's. The previous low was Dec. 11, 2016 vs. the Jets."

But the disappearance of fans at lower-profile games isn't only a problem in Santa Clara. This past weekend headlines slammed the Chargers for failing to fill their 30,000 person temporary home in Los Angeles. The Rams' crowd was unfavorably compared to the audience for USC's game this past weekend, and there is increasing grumbling about the decline of even the television ratings.

It sounds like they are more frightened of broadcasts showing huge numbers of empty seats than commoditizing their own ticket sales.

Rock and a hard place. We've discussed this in another thread where you posted this video.

I have no idea how much the pretzels are, but I would think at that, the tickets are way over priced!

The pretzels are $7.50 for two, the cheap tickets are $7.00. The nice new $1.2B stadium seats 68,500.

Just checking some prime seating, Section 136 is on the 49r's sideline, midfield. Row two is avail for $151 and row 22 is avail for $111.

I would only pay that kind of money if Ann Margret & Raquel Welch were going to cheer lead, in the nude! :)

Ann Margret is 76. Raquel Welch is 77. Are you sure you want them in the nude?

Raquel is still a pretty hot old broad at 77. I'd say it is good genetics and a few good cosmetic surgeons.

" Raquel is still a pretty hot old broad at 77. "

I completely agree !!!

And, Ann Margret at 76 is equally HOT !!

I would take them anyday over over some twit like Miley Cyrus, or some of those idiots with green hair and bones in their nose.

Margret & Welch are classy !!!

Stoner, I just checked the calendar. The 1970s pages have been torn off. But I get it ;-)

(Fwiw, both are still attractive. Although if they are liberal, they are ugly no matter what.)

Do not know if they are liberal, or not. Back in the day, they were my dream. Still look good to me. Like I said, I do not go for green hair & bones in the nose !

Why, it sounds like you just wanted to bone them, not debate their deep political philosophy.

Now I'm shocked, shocked I say. LOL

Back in the the day they were iconic bombshells. Still scarred from Ann Margaret's dancing ;-) Yes, they are both still attractive even now.

But...it's such an edgy, "I'll-Do-Anything!" look.

No. No no no no no.

Love conquers all, and beauty is the fuze.
