Poor Ticket Sales Force NFL to Take Action for Colts-Commanders in London

Disappointing ticket sales for the Week 4 Colts-Commanders game in London force the NFL to lower ticket prices for the game.

Week 4 of the NFL season will kick off with the first game in England when the Indianapolis Colts face off against the Washington Commanders. However, it appears that the league is not generating the anticipated interest for Sunday's matchup. The stakes are high for both teams, as they both started the year on a strong note, overcoming a 0-2 opening stretch.

Despite this positive momentum, dwindling ticket sales have prompted the NFL to intervene, aiming to attract more fans to the London game. According to Ken Maguire of the Associated Press, the NFL has slashed ticket prices for Sunday's match to a minimum of $105, a significant drop from the original prices that reached $325. This drastic reduction is aimed at boosting attendance, as the game could potentially draw less than 60,000 spectators for the first time in history. NFL Network will broadcast the match between the Colts and Commanders at 9:30 a.m. EST on Sunday.
