49ers-Rams tickets reselling for the price of two stadium pretzels

Thursday night's Rams-49ers game may be the toughest sell in the history of Levi's Stadium.
As of Wednesday, resale tickets were being offered on StubHub for as low as $14 to see the team host the Los Angeles Rams at 7 p.m. That price is just cheaper than buying a pair of $7.50 pretzels through the Levi's Stadium app and comparable to the price of a beer and a hot dog at the the three-year-old arena. According to the team's seat licensing map, the cheapest original face value for any seat is $85.

Ticket sale aggregator TicketIQ listed a slightly higher minimum price from their partners at $17, still a bargain compared to all previous games at the stadium.
"The current get-in price of $17 is the Niners' cheapest game this season with an average asking price of $88 — also the cheapest of the season. The average ticket price across all remaining home games for them is $179," says Ralph Garcia of TicketIQ, who says the team has seen the average list price decline 32 percent since the stadium opened in 2014, according to their internal numbers. "This is, however, the 49ers' cheapest home game since the move to Levi's. The previous low was Dec. 11, 2016 vs. the Jets."
But the disappearance of fans at lower-profile games isn't only a problem in Santa Clara. This past weekend headlines slammed the Chargers for failing to fill their 30,000 person temporary home in Los Angeles. The Rams' crowd was unfavorably compared to the audience for USC's game this past weekend, and there is increasing grumbling about the decline of even the television ratings.

"The Bills, Colts, and Browns have get-in prices that do typically hover in the $15-$30 range," Garcia wrote to SFGATE. "Bills vs. Dolphins, on Dec. 17, is currently the season's cheapest game with an average price of $70 and cheapest ticket $15."
Still, the Thursday night game appears to be the biggest bargain in the history of the stadium, especially considering how likely the 49ers are to win. The Rams are the only opponent the team has managed to beat at home since the start of 2016 (and they've done it twice).
To put that in perspective, the band Coldplay has taken the stage as frequently at Levi's over that time period as the 49ers have won there. If the team loses Thursday, Chris Martin and company will take the lead when they host a concert on Oct. 4.
