Dallas still holds the distinction of charging the most for a single game ticket. The average for a ticket to see the Cowboys is nearly $160 per game.

But some teams are raising their prices. That includes the Buffalo Bills.

The team has announced that it's raising ticket prices for season ticket holders, and single game tickets too. The average season ticket price will rise to a little over $59, up from about $51. Barring price increases by other teams, the hike would cost the Bills the spot they held last year as the cheapest ticket in the NFL.

That's still almost $100 less than a Cowboys game, but Ralph Wilson is no Cowboys Stadium.

In 2009, the Bills were at the bottom of the leagues 32 teams for ticket prices. This 15% increase moves them up two spots, above Cleveland and Jacksonville.

Do Cowboys fans mind paying the most money in the NFL?

Last game I went to was in 2006, and we had lower level seats at around the 35 yard line. If memory serves, the face value on the ticket was $78, although we paid more for them through stubhub or ebay or something.

I'm going to fly out to see a friend again this year and we'll catch another Cowboys game. We only go once every few years, and really, the experience is priceless.

I paid $85 (face value) to watch a playoff game in Cowboys Stadium. There isn't a bad seat in the house, even at that price.

The game experience is unlike any other in the NFL.

You mean to tell me that the Dallas Cowboys are the highest demanded franchise, which is what brings out to premium price point? How can that be when the Saints were just named America's Team?

And they deserve to be.

Must be talking about re-sold tickets.

That's with a new stadium, I'm positive that it wasn't that way with the old Texas Stadium. Also, considering how well the Dallas economy is doing compared to the rest of the cities in the nation, it would be strange to not have the highest ticket prices in the league.

I would easily pay $100 more to sit in Cowboys Stadium over watching the Bills at home.

I had zero complaint over the minimal price I paid for a playoff ticket. The stadium is awesome, and is worth the price of admission.

I'd pay $59 to not sit in Ralph Wilson Stadium for 3 out of the four months of football season. Freezing *** cold, and even if it wasn't it is still the Bills you have to watch play.

I have no problems with having the highest ticket prices. Teams all over the league know when the Cowboys come to town that game is sold out. America's Team baby!
