Would You Pay $140 For CenturyLink Field Parking??

The fact that you could pay $140 for a CenturyLink Field parking pass should surprise absolutely no one.

After all, the initial average secondary market price for a ticket to a Seahawks home game over the past 3 years is $449.74.

Not only is that the highest of any NFL team, it represents an eye-popping 432%markup from the average face value cost ($84.52).

Given those figures, what do you think parking at CenturyLink Field will cost you on said secondary ticket market?

“It cost Seahawks fans $140 to park near CenturyLink Field”

If you said $200 or $300, you wouldn’t be wrong. The initial average resale cost of a Seahawks parking pass for 2017 is $139, 7th-highest in the NFL. I suppose being “only” number seven is an improvement, but $139 is still $139.

Yes, this is 2017, and this is the NFL, yadda yadda… But having to pay nearly $600 for a ticket and a parking pass is still wrong.

Finding cheaper ticket prices for NFL football games may be a crap shoot, but for parking, it’s not. It may require a short walk or train ride to the stadium, but you can potentially save at least hundred bucks.
