SEATTLE — With the Seattle Seahawks just one win away from a Super Bowl appearance, excitement across the region is surging, along with ticket prices.
The Seahawks host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Jan. 25, at Lumen Field in the NFC Championship, a matchup that has sent demand for seats skyrocketing as fans rush to be part of what could be the team’s fourth Super Bowl appearance.
From a ticket-supply standpoint, the game is effectively sold out to the general public. Most seats are already held by season-ticket holders or fans who purchased early, leaving the resale market as the primary option for anyone still hoping to attend.
That demand is reflected in pricing. As of Monday afternoon, resale listings on platforms such as Ticketmaster and StubHub showed single seats starting at $876, with prices climbing higher in lower-bowl sections and closer to kickoff. Historically, prices for high-stakes playoff games tend to rise as the week progresses, particularly after a win.
For many fans, the cost hasn’t dampened enthusiasm or confidence.
“I’ve been a fan my whole life,” said Darrell Vannoy, a Seahawks supporter who plans to attend Sunday’s game. “I’m very confident we’re going to win. I’ve been at the other three NFC Championship games that were here, and we won them all. So I’m on a streak.”
That confidence is shared widely across the region, even among fans who don’t typically follow football closely.
“We’re not big sports fans, but we were watching with people, and it was so fun,” said Karol Kaldstad of Olympia. “We’re really looking forward to the next game.”
Others described the team’s playoff run as a welcome boost during a difficult winter.
“It’s what we needed, something uplifting with all this going on,” said Caroll Bueller, also from Olympia.
The atmosphere inside Lumen Field is expected to play a significant role Sunday. Seattle’s fan base — known as the “12th Man” — has long been credited with creating one of the loudest environments in the NFL. Sustained crowd noise has historically caused visiting teams to burn timeouts early or commit pre-snap penalties, often forcing offenses to adjust before settling into a rhythm.
The game is also expected to bring a boost to surrounding neighborhoods, particularly Pioneer Square, where bars and restaurants typically fill up on game days.
“It’s a super big deal if the Seahawks win because the more people that are down here, the more business we get,” said Jamie Irene of Sugar Shack Unlimited. “We open an extra day every time there’s a home game. We’re pumped.”
While many fans are focused on Sunday, some are already thinking ahead. A Super Bowl berth would send Seattle to San Francisco, where ticket prices are expected to reach several thousand dollars.
“If I could go to the Super Bowl and it was less than five grand, I’d go,” Vannoy said. “But it’s still a dream. I don’t think it’s going to happen.”
Fans hoping to attend Sunday’s game are urged to buy tickets only through authorized sellers. The Seahawks use an all-digital ticketing system, and paper tickets, screenshots, or printed copies are not valid for entry.
For now, confidence across Seattle remains high and if the Seahawks deliver Sunday, that belief could carry the city all the way back to the Super Bowl.
