On Tuesday, the New England Patriots announced they expect Gillette Stadium to operate at 20 percent capacity for 2020 home games.
That, of course, assumes fans will be allowed to attend games at all this season amid the coronavirus pandemic as it needs the approval of local and state governments.
With all of this uncertainty, inventory for Patriots tickets on the secondary market has dropped by over 97 percent and in some cases has been pulled down completely, according to TicketIQ. That has caused the average ticket price to rise from $424 to $591, an increase of 39 percent.
