Medium latte or Commanders tickets this week? They cost about the same

You have $3 in your pocket right now? You can ...
- Buy most of a Big Mac. Prices are rising. Might need to search the cushions of your couch for some change to pay for it all.
- Get a medium latte at a major coffee shop. A large might bring you over the $3 limit.
- Get close to one gallon of gas, depending where you live.
- Check out about 25 minutes or so of "Horrible Bosses 2" at the theater. No way you're seeing the whole movie for $3, bub.
- Watch live Washington Commanders football.
The Commanders are currently the best bargain in sports, although some would argue that even $3 is overpaying for their terrible product. Tickets for this Sunday's home game against the equally mediocre St. Louis Rams are going for as low as $3 as of early afternoon on Friday. That's according to SeatGeek, a secondary ticket seller.
CATCH THE FEVER, WASHINGTON FANS!
A spokesman at SeatGeek said the ticket prices are even lower than for the team's preseason games this past August. Since 2009 the only other game SeatGeek has seen drop this low was last week's game between the Carolina Panthers and Minnesota Vikings, played between two losing teams in bitterly cold weather. The $3 seats that were available for Rams-Commanders on Sunday were discounted about 95 percent off the face value of $69. The $3 tickets were for standing-room only, but upper level seats were available for $4, and lower-level seats were available for as low as $16, according to SeatGeek. Even the "Dream Seats" behind the Commanders' sideline are just $80 on the resale market for this Sunday. Those tickets generally go for several hundred dollars. Tickets for Washington's preseason games against the Patriots and Browns this year resold for an average of $41 and $36. Tickets for Sunday's game are averaging about $31, SeatGeek said.
