It’s Monday Night Football and the Green Bay Packers will be visiting the Minnesota Vikings tonight at the Metrodome for one of most anticipated match ups this year. All eyes will be on Aaron Rodgers and the man he replaced at Green Bay to see who can prove to be the best player tonight.

Brett Favre, Viking

The Minnesota Vikings are currently 3-0 this year with Brett Favre as quarterback, and are coming off a stunning last second win over the San Francisco 49ers. The Green Bay Packers beat the St Louis Rams last weekend behind Aaron Rogers three touchdown passes, but the Rams are not a team to be celebrating wins over this year.

The Packers can tie the lead in the NFC North with the Vikings and Bears with a win tonight, or leave the Vikings on top if the battle of the quarterbacks goes Brett Favre’s way. NFL Football Tickets are on sale for all the NFL teams online.

NFL Football tickets are moving at a much slower pace this year with NFL season ticket sales down significantly from last year for some ball clubs, as reported in the Sacramento Bee. Several of the same teams with poor records are on the list again this year including the Detroit Lions, St. Louis Rams and the Oakland Raiders and face multiple blackout dates for local television viewing.

NFL Football 2009-10

A number of teams came close to a blackout for NFL’s opening day with the surprise being the defending NFC Champion’s the Arizona Cardinals, who barely avoided the blackout. There may be as many as 10-12 NFL teams with problems selling out their stadiums this year compared to only three last year.

Compounding the problem for the NFL is the reselling of tickets. If the team hasn’t sold out, you can bet the ticket brokers have not as well. Ticket brokers may have NFL ticket prices below the face value of the ticket as game day approaches, undercutting the team trying to sell their own tickets.

But the NFL may have only themselves to blame for the rising prices to attend a live game, and encouraging season ticket holders to resell their own tickets, creating a flood of tickets on the market for many of the poorer selling teams.

You don’t have to look very far to find teams without blackout problems. The Dallas Cowboys had no problem selling out their new Cowboy Stadium even with the highest cost for a family of four to attend a game, a whopping $750.

Now, rather than getting the best deal directly from the NFL team, you may just want to check ticket brokers such as PreferredSeat.com for the best deal in NFL tickets.
