Atlanta Falcons Tickets

There was a time when many NFL fans didn't feel that Atlanta Falcons tickets were worth the paper they were printed on. After all, this is a team that went a combined 6-35-1 in their first three seasons as a professional football franchise, from 1966-1968. In fact, it wasn't until 1971 that the Falcons franchise enjoyed their first winning season, and even that came by the narrowest of margins, 7-6-1. Additionally, no Atlanta player have ever been elected to the Professional Football Hall of Fame. True, the franchise was not without their moments during their early years, but it wasn't until recently that they really began to turn the corner. After reaching the NFC Divisional Playoffs in 2002 and the NFC Championship in 2004, the Falcons franchise has blossomed and taken their place among the National Football League's elite squads. Consequently, Atlanta football tickets have become a hot commodity as of late.

The Growing Popularity of Atlanta Falcons Tickets

Success on the field as turned into success off the field for Arthur Blank's team, as Atlanta Falcons tickets have increased dramatically since the 2001 season. In that year, the Falcons went 7-9 with quarterback Chris Chandler taking the snaps for the team. Following that season, the team handed quarterbacking duties over to Michael Vick of Virginia Tech, who had been drafted before the 2001 season. Attendance figures soared as fans eagerly snatched up passes, hoping to catch a glimpse of the superhuman athlete who would don the No. 7 jersey. Per game attendance averages jumped from 52,800 in 2001 to 67,500 in 2002. More and more fans bought more and more tickets the following year, and an average of over 70,000 people packed into the Georgia Dome bleachers for Falcons home games in both 2003 and 2004. No doubt that this is a team on the rise, in terms of play as well as in terms of fanbase and ticket sales, and those once worthless Falcons tickets are now some of the most sought after seats in professional football.
