The New England Patriots missed the playoffs in 2022, something that was expected of the team for over 20 years.
The absence of Tom Brady has been noticed on this team, and they have been desperately looking to find a solid answer at quarterback.
When the Patriots’ schedule was released, however, one of their games was highly coveted in terms of ticket prices.
As Mike Reiss of ESPN points out, Vivid Seats has reported that the average ticket price of the Patriots-Philadelphia Eagles game is $807.
Via @VividSeats, the most in-demand game for the 2023 NFL season (based on average ticket price) is currently Eagles at Patriots — $807.
Welcome back, Tom Brady.

This is a home game for the Patriots, which, by itself isn’t necessarily a coveted event.
However, the team announced that Brady will make an appearance at this game, a “thank you” to him.
At this event, fans will get a chance to say a proper goodbye to him, something that they didn’t necessarily get to do when he left.
There is little doubt that this game will sell out quickly, as Brady’s presence alone will drive up demand for this game.
Brady was one of the main reasons for the Patriots’ success and he has been immortalized within the organization.
Even after he left the team, fans still supported his new venture in Tampa Bay, cheering him on as he won another Super Bowl.
Brady was a once-in-a-lifetime quarterback, and his on-field presence will be greatly missed.
Whether he still pursues a career in broadcasting remains to be seen.
Wherever he ends up, fans seem to flock to him, and he will likely continue to be a cultural icon in whatever field he chooses.
