Cleveland Browns NFL tickets exchanging for just $5

The Cleveland Browns’ dismal NFL American football season has led to their tickets changing hands for as little as $5 (£3.90/€4.70) for games over the Christmas period.

According to data collated by ticket platform Vivid Seats, the median price of Browns tickets to the end of the season is just $25, with fans deserting a team that has lost all 12 of its games so far.

The get-in price for the game against fellow strugglers San Diego Chargers on December 24 is just $5, with a slightly more expensive $9 for the match with Cincinnati Bengals this weekend.

The median price to see the Denver Broncos is around 100 times more expensive at $553, with Minnesota Vikings ($360) and Seattle Seahawks ($350) also a major draw.

The Buffalo Bills are the second cheapest NFL team to watch at $69, with Indianapolis Colts at $70.

The highest median price for a single game is the $560 to see the Broncos play the New England Patriots on December 18. The most expensive get-in price is the $208 to see the New York Giants host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Meanwhile, a record crowd watched Friday’s Mid-American Conference (MAC) championship game between Western Michigan University against Ohio State.

Some 45,615 spectators travelled to the 65,200-seat Ford Field in Michigan to see WMU Broncos win 29-23, smashing the previous record of 28,085.
