How To Buy Las Vegas Raiders Tickets
Ballin' on the Strip: Your Epic, Humor-Fueled Guide to Snagging Las Vegas Raiders Tickets!
Listen up, fam! You’ve hit the jackpot. You’re in Sin City, the lights are blazing, and you’re feeling the silver and black spirit. Now all you need is a golden ticket—or, you know, a mobile ticket—to get your butt into Allegiant Stadium to watch the Raiders do their thing. Getting these tickets can feel like a boss-level video game, but don’t sweat it. We’re about to drop a bomb of knowledge so you can slide into the stadium like a true VIP. Let’s get it!
Step 1: Choose Your Vibe (Primary vs. Secondary Market)
This is the first big choice, the fork in the road, if you will. Are you looking to buy directly from the source, or are you trying to score a last-minute deal or a sweet resale seat?
1.1. Official Ticket Hookup: The Primary Market
The official source for Raiders tickets is generally Ticketmaster, as they are the team’s verified partner. This is where the single-game tickets originally drop. If you want the least hassle and the most certainty that your ticket is legit, this is your jam.
1.2. The Resale Hustle: The Secondary Market
If the game is sold out (which, let's be real, is all the time), or if you’re looking for a better price (either super early or super last-minute), you're hitting the secondary market. Think of sites like SeatGeek, StubHub, and the official NFL Ticket Exchange via Ticketmaster.
Pro Tip: On the resale market, look for the 'Deal Score' or 'Best Value' indicators. It’s like a cheat code for your wallet!
Step 2: Get Your Digital Ducks in a Row (Account Setup)
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
We’re in the future, people! Tickets are digital, and you gotta be ready to roll. Trust us, standing outside the stadium fumbling with a dead phone and an email confirmation is not the look.
2.1. The Raiders + Allegiant Stadium App
You're gonna need this, like, yesterday. Download the Raiders + Allegiant Stadium App. This is where your mobile tickets live. Seriously, this app is your new best friend.
2.2. Link Up with Ticketmaster
The Raiders use Ticketmaster for their account management. If you don’t already have a Ticketmaster account, you’ll likely need to create one, using the same email you use for your Raiders account. This creates a secure, unified login. If you see "Email Not Found" when logging in, you'll need to sign up. It’s a bit of a dance, but you gotta groove with the system.
Remember: All tickets for Raiders games are mobile only. Print-outs? Screenshots? Fuhgeddaboudit. They won't cut the mustard.
Step 3: The Quest for the Game (Finding Your Perfect Match)
Time to scope out the schedule and pick your moment of glory.
3.1. Single Game Tickets: The Hunger Games
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
When single-game tickets drop (usually in the summer after the schedule is released), it’s a mad dash. Seriously, set an alarm, have your credit card details memorized, and pray to the football gods. Go directly to the official Raiders website or Ticketmaster on that morning. They sell out faster than a free taco stand in Vegas.
3.2. Resale Market Strategy: Patience is Money
This is where the real stratagem comes in. You can try to snag tickets way ahead of time, or you can play the last-minute lottery.
Early Bird Gets the Worm: Right after the initial sell-out, prices can be high. They sometimes dip a bit in the weeks leading up to the game.
The Hail Mary Play (Game Day): Prices often plummet in the final 24-48 hours before kickoff. Sellers get desperate to recoup something. If you’re a risk-taker and already in Vegas, this is your shot. Move fast when you see a good price, though—the good deals vanish quicker than a magician's rabbit.
3.3. Check the Seat View
Before you drop that cheddar, use the interactive seat maps on the ticket sites. They often have a "Virtual Venue" or a 3D rendering so you can see the view from your seat. Nobody wants a pole blocking the money shot!

Step 4: The Checkout Hustle (Sealing the Deal)
You found the seats! Now don't choke!
4.1. Transparent Pricing
Make sure you hit the 'Include Fees' button, if available. Nothing's worse than thinking you found a bargain only to see the fees add another hundred bucks to your total. Keep it real, folks.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
4.2. Double-Check Everything
Verify the date, time, and opponent. You don't want to show up on Sunday for a Monday night game! Also, make sure the tickets you are buying are being transferred to the correct Raiders/Ticketmaster account email address.
Step 5: Gameday Prep (Get in the Stadium Like a Pro)
The tickets are yours! Time to focus on getting through the gates smoothly so you can get to the nachos.
5.1. Download to Your Mobile Wallet
Once you have your tickets in the Raiders + Allegiant Stadium App, go the extra mile and add them to your phone's digital wallet (Apple Wallet or Google Pay). This is the fastest, slickest way to get scanned at the gate, even if the stadium Wi-Fi decides to take a nap.
5.2. Charge Your Phone!
Seriously, this is non-negotiable. Your ticket is on your phone. If your phone dies, you're outta luck, standing there looking like a rookie. Bring a portable charger—you'll thank me later.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
FAQ Questions and Answers
How to get verified Las Vegas Raiders tickets? The most reliable way is to buy directly from the official primary seller, Ticketmaster, or via the official NFL Ticket Exchange and verified resale partners like SeatGeek.
How can I find cheap Las Vegas Raiders tickets? Look for weekday games, preseason matchups, or less competitive opponents. Prices often drop 24-48 hours before kickoff on the resale market as sellers try to offload them.
What is the best time to buy Raiders tickets? If you miss the initial public sale, the best times are either very early in the season (before hype builds) or super last-minute (within 48 hours of the game) to catch price drops.
Can I use a screenshot of my ticket to enter Allegiant Stadium? No, screenshots are not valid. You must present the live, rotating barcode from the official Raiders + Allegiant Stadium app or your mobile wallet (Apple Wallet/Google Pay).
How do I transfer a Raiders ticket to a friend? Log into your account via the Raiders + Allegiant Stadium App, select the ticket, and use the 'Transfer' option to send it to their email address. They will need a Ticketmaster account to accept it.
Is there a way to buy Raiders season tickets? Full season tickets are generally sold out and require a Personal Seat License (PSL). You can check the official Raiders PSL Marketplace for resale of these licenses.
Where is the best place to sit in Allegiant Stadium? That's subjective, but lower-level seats near the 50-yard line are premium. Upper-level seats offer great value and a panoramic view of the action and the Las Vegas Strip skyline.
What happens if a game is postponed? If the game is postponed, your ticket is typically valid for the rescheduled date. If it's canceled and not rescheduled, you should receive a full refund from the point of purchase.
Can I buy tickets at the Allegiant Stadium Box Office? Yes, the Ticketmaster Box Office at Allegiant Stadium is open on gamedays, but it's highly recommended to purchase online in advance, as walk-up availability is not guaranteed for major events.
How can I get into Allegiant Stadium faster on game day? Use the designated CLEAR Entry Lane at Gate 12, if you are a CLEAR member. Otherwise, having your mobile ticket loaded in your phone's digital wallet before you even get to the security line helps speed things up.
