Browns Ticket Prices Plummet Following Todd Monken’s Decision To Bench Shedeur Sanders for Deshaun Watson
The Cleveland Browns fans spent the preseason paying premium prices just to watch Shedeur Sanders warm up. Ticket costs for the rookie’s starts climbed as high as $324 a seat, with get-in prices more than doubling in a matter of days.
Cleveland Browns ticket prices have plummeted following head coach Todd Monken's decision to bench rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in favor of veteran Deshaun Watson for their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams at Huntington Bank Field. Once priced at $324 per seat, ticket costs for Sanders' starts spiked as high as $324, with get-in prices doubling in a matter of days.
However, with Monken naming Watson the starter, demand for Sanders' tickets evaporated equally fast. A fan account shared a video by podcaster Dave Grendzynski, reporting on the significant drop in ticket prices following the announcement. Ticket prices across the board have taken a noticeable dip since the change, with games now costing as low as $19.
The cheapest game day experience in the NFL is now available at Huntington Bank Field, priced at $823.13 for a family of four. Deshaun Watson, who has a $230 million contract with Cleveland, has struggled with consistency, throwing just 19 touchdowns across 19 games. Fans are now curious to see if cheaper tickets will translate into better attendance and if Watson can deliver a performance worth showing up for.
