Â
It seems New York Giants fans are selling their tickets to Saturday’s game against the undefeated New England Patriots by the boatload. The ticket broker site StubHub reports that this could be one of their Top 25 best selling events. Apparently Giants fans would rather cash in on their team than support them.
“It looks like it’s on pace to be one of our top 25 events for all time. It’s definitely one of our hot sellers,” Joellen Ferrer, a spokesman for StubHub told the Star-Ledger. “Although it’s meaningless to the Giants, it’s still going to be a great game to watch.”
As of Monday nearly 3,000 tickets to the game were available on StubHub for as much as $1,600 apiece.
StubHub’s sister site Ebay reported that after the Giants beat the Bills on Sunday more than 200 ticket holders put their seats up for auction.
If the Patriots win on Sunday they would be the first NFL team to go undefeated in 35 years joining the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only clubs to do so. And with all the Giants fans bailing on the game it may even seem like an additional home game for New England even though it’s being held at Giants Stadium. Oh by the way Tom Brady is 7-0 in games played at the stadium.
