Falcons fans looking to follow the team to the Super Bowl in Houston will find steep prices on the ticket resale market.

TicketIQ, which says it aggregates 90 percent of the secondary market, reported soon after the Falcons advanced that the average price for tickets sold was $4,289. Later Sunday the cheapest ticket at the TicketIQ web site was $4,224.

TicketIQ CEO Jesse Lawrence said the supply of tickets was tight: just 1,359 available as of Sunday evening. Lawrence said that’s 67 percent fewer tickets than the previous low with two weeks until the game.

Nate Rattner of Seatgeek.com said the average resale price was $5,101 at his site as of Sunday evening.

“However, we have seen ticket prices for this year’s game come down quite a bit following last week’s (Packers) defeat of the Cowboys, and in five of the past six years, prices have dropped between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl,” Rattner wrote in an email.
