The Cowboys are in the top third of the league in terms of average ticket prices, but that has more to do with their road-game prices than with their home prices. On the road, the average Cowboys ticket comes to $304, while the average home ticket is available for $256. Here's an overview of the current average price of every single Cowboys regular season game in 2013, as provided by the folks at Vivid Seats:

All prices as of July 11, 2013​

Five of the seven most expensive games on the schedule are away games. The most expensive home game looks to be the week 15 game against the Packers, which is currently averaging $387. If you're on a budget and living in Dallas, you may want to get cards for the game against the Rams, which has the lowest average price of all 16 Cowboys games at $156, although that doesn't yet include parking, a couple of beers, and something to eat.

Business Insider reported that half of regular football fans prefer watching NFL games at home over watching them live, even if they were offered free tickets. The ticket prices mentioned above are very far from free, but then again, if you are reading this post about the Dallas Cowboys in the depths of the offseason, you are also very far from being a "regular football fan". So here's a question for you:

Which game would you like to attend in person this year, despite or perhaps because of the prices above? And more importantly, have you started squirreling away money to pay for the Cowboys playoff tickets this season?
