Single-game tickets for the 2013 football season will be priced based on a number of market factors. "Dynamic pricing is a practice that has been widely used throughout the travel industry and is quickly becoming the standard across sports and entertainment organizations," Lochmann said. "Pricing dynamically will allow us to adjust single-game ticket prices upward or downward based on real-time market conditions with the biggest factor being fan demand and ticket scarcity. "We've seen strong demand for tickets and encourage fans to buy early to access the best deals."
