NFL 'overwhelmed' by ticket demand in Germany

The NFL's first-ever regular-season game in Germany is a hot ticket.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 13 at Munich's Allianz Arena, which has a capacity of around 75,000. Tickets to the game went on sale Tuesday, and fans wasted no time trying to snag a seat.

"We are overwhelmed by the demand for tickets for our first-ever regular-season game in Germany," an NFL spokesperson said, according to ESPN. "More than 770,000 fans accessing our ticket shop at the same time is proof of the excitement we see in the market.

"Tom Brady and the Bucs facing the Seahawks in November will be the biggest sporting event in Germany in 2022. Our fans can't wait for the NFL to finally touch down in Germany."

The huge demand has caused ticket prices to skyrocket on the resale market. Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith reported that as of Tuesday morning, the cheapest available ticket on StubHub was listed for $585 and the most expensive was going for $33,760.

The NFL has four other international games scheduled for the 2022 season, including three in London, England, and one in Mexico City.
