Rarely, are there tickets available for NFL games.

For some teams there are. In any case this whole discussion started with the salaries of baseball players, and later you made the statements more generally about all sports, not just the NFL.

If the NFL routinely sells out games, and you have a lot of extra people who would like to buy tickets but can't because there are none left, then you could say that their tickets are under priced. The teams are selling them at a below market rate. Probably because they feel that a true market rate would get an angry reaction, or at least that sudden change would get an angry reaction.


There is another possibility......the tickets are expensive but there are enough people in the community who can afford to pay the price. That's the case in Seattle.
