Tickets for NFL London 2022 tickets listed for over £300 on resale websites

NFL fans who were left disappointed by the London games ticket on-sale will have to buy resale tickets to secure a seat at the high-profile games.

Minnesota Vikings will take on New Orleans Saints at the East London venue on October 2, while Green Bay Packers will kick-off their first game on UK soil against the New York Giants a week later. General sale tickets for both the games went live at 10am on Ticketmaster but fans quickly reported queues of up to 300,000 people, leaving many left disappointed.

Tickets are now on sale at resellers such as Ticketsmarter for over £300 a ticket as fans scramble to get their hands on a seat for one of the games. However, resellers are typically unreliable and with sky-high prices many fans will not want to risk their money using a reseller site. The only official seller listed on the NFL website is Sports Breaks, labelled the brand's official break partner.

The NFL said prior to the launch today that there would be a virtual waiting room live on the Ticketmaster before the on-sale time meaning many seem to have got in very early. But in the email NFL added: "You can get in the queue from 9.30am. Please do not join before 9.30am as you may encounter issues when trying to purchase due to the length of time you have been on the site."

Narin Flanders, who has been following the ticket on-sale for Football.London, says: "As of 1pm when I got to the front of the queue, Green Bay Packers vs New York Giants tickets were totally sold out. Now the odd one might pop back up released from someone's basket who changed their mind but I'd say anyone looking to see Aaron Rodgers and the gang make their UK debut won't be getting a ticket here today.

"Slightly brighter news for fans of the Saints and Vikings. There are some single seats left, but not many. See my screenshot below for what was available when I was looking just now."
