Atl Falcons Tickets

Although the team is popular now, Atl Falcons tickets have not always been a hot sell among Georgia football fans. In fact, from 1983 through 1990, the team never once averaged 50,000 fans per game, nor did they ever top the 400,000 mark in total attendance for all of their eight home games combined. The worst season was the 1987 year, in which fans more or less abandoned the team. According to attendance records for that year, fewer than 190,000 total fans or an average of about 23,000 tickets sold per game. Really, who can blame the fans, either. That 1987 club went 3-12, and in the big picture, the Falcons franchise has an all-time losing record and has yet to have a single player elected to the Professional Football Hall of Fame. Yet, the franchise seems to have turned the corner as of late, and now fans are flocking to the Georgia Dome in record numbers.

Atl Falcons Tickets: Reversing Past Trends

Ever since Michael Vick was named the team's starting quarterback in 2002, Atl Falcons tickets have become a hot commodity. That season, more than 1.0 million total fans attended home and away games involving the Falcons franchise, as Atlanta fans helped the team sell nearly 98-percent of the total tickets available for that season. The following two seasons saw those number rise, with 1.1 million total fans watching at least one Falcon game during that two season span and the team selling almost 99-percent of their total tickets, home and road, in 2003 and 2004. Further, the team reports that the waiting list for Atlanta Falcons season tickets currently includes more than 20,000 names, and that the ownership of the Georgia Dome is planning renovations in order to make more seats available for football games at the venue. So while the Falcons have not always been the most popular NFL team in existence, for right now at least they are the darlings of sports fans in and around the greater Atlanta metropolitan area.
