Jets/Chiefs Ticket Prices Skyrocket After Report Taylor Swift Will Attend
Tickets to the Jets/Chiefs game Sunday night at MetLife Stadium aren't cheap amid reports that Taylor Swift will be in attendance.
A report surfaced Wednesday that the "Cruel Summer" singer will be attending her second straight Chiefs game amid speculation she's dating Travis Kelce.
I remain skeptical this isn't anything other than a publicity stunt, but people seem to be buying in because ticket prices are soaring.

Prior to the news Swift would be at MetLife Stadium, the cheapest price for two seats together was $169.55 on Ticketmaster, according to NorthJersey.com.
However, the cheapest prices for two seats together has since jumped to $289.35. That's a 70.66% increase since news broke the music superstar would be in attendance.

That, my friends, is the Taylor Swift effect.

Swift is having a serious impact on the NFL.
In case you didn't already know, Swift's ability to move the needle for the NFL is downright incredible. Don't take my word for it. Just follow the data.
Travis Kelce merchandise sales are up 400% since she attended the Bears/Chiefs game, and the ratings were through the roof.
The game was watched by 24.3 million people and dominated across the board for female demos. It was the top-watched program for females ages 12 to 49.
Now, ticket prices are shooting up for the Jets/Chiefs game Sunday night. At this rate, Roger Goodell might start shoveling buckets of money to Taylor Swift to keep showing up. Some people might be tired of hearing about it, but the NFL loves all this extra attention.
