The Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans typically meet just once every four years.
Both teams have elite quarterbacks. And both appear to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that Green Bay hosting Houston Sunday is the NFL’s second-hottest ticket this week, according to Vivid Seats ticket marketplace. The Texans lead the AFC South with a 5-1 record, while the Packers are 4-2.
The average ticket price to Sunday’s matchup at Lambeau Field is $333, with the best deal being $173. The NFL’s highest priced ticket this week is the Super Bowl rematch of Kansas City at San Francisco, with an average price of $517.
The last time the Texans took on the Packers was in Oct., 2020 where the average price was $190, making Sunday’s matchup 75.3% more in-demand than the game four years ago.
According to Vivid Seats’ Fan Forecast proprietary data, fans that have purchased tickets on the secondary market will travel an average of 593 miles for the game. That makes the Green Bay-Houston matchup the third furthest traveled NFL game this weekend.
Green Bay and Houston have met five times, with the Packers holding a 4-1 advantage.
