The Ravens are seeing the biggest year-to-year gains, up 39.7%, while the Colts are seeing the sharpest drop-off, down 44.7% for their second season in Lucas Oil Stadium. Compared to the final regular-season average from '08, NFL teams are up 32.4%. Only the Titans and Bills are seeing lower average ticket sale prices compared to their eight home games in '08.
