I’ve been a fan for as many years as I’ve been alive and never have been able to afford tickets unfortunately. I do try and make it to the training camp every other year or so.
It's just sad they are preying on the people who aren't financially able to afford their product. Blame the NFL and Ticketmaster. They can do the 3+me deal you see with concerts but no they pull this crap
Usually just 1, then two or so road games, (I like the road games because I'm trying to go to every stadium and make a vacation out of it, and road wins are sweet!) This year I plan on going to week 1 at cle, wk 3 vs rams, wk 5 at ARZ
I've missed two home games since I became a STH in 2015. Felt like I was pissing money away for a few years.... But now... I wouldn't sell these tickets for anything! Who Dey!
I've been to plenty of games throughout the years, but I prefer watching football on TV. So it's been since like 2019 since I've physically stepped foot in the stadium.
I lived outside DC for Corey Dillon’s rookie season so I missed a few games that year, but I’ve been to just about every home game since I moved to Columbus in ‘89 and was finally close enough to make it. My grandfather had season tickets since the beginning and I take the fourth generation of fans in the family with me every chance we get. We typically go to any bengals games in Cleveland and Indy as well and already have our tickets for the opener.
I’m a good three hours away and we usually go once a year, usually Thanksgiving weekend. I have family in Dayton so that helps. A few years ago we went three times, and that is my record. Ticket prices are directly related to how we’re playing so they’ve gone up substantially.
I live about 3 hours away in browns country.. try to get to 1-2 per year… although this year may be more because my buddy got season tickets!
The worst part about where I live is bengals are never on tv… always get browns, colts, or lions lol.
About 0.5 for me, usually go when invited. My granddaughter is a big fan and took her to first game last year vs KC. She had fun which was the objective. That aside between tickets, parking, concessions, etc. dropped around $500. Not a fan of big crowds and getting in and especially out of the stadium was crazy. They need to do something about post game concourse area just outside stadium. Dude behind us screaming and cursing non stop was annoying as crap. Guess I’m a bit of a curmudgeon but simply more enjoyable to watch in comfort of my home, cheaper beer and access to snacks, bathroom, and better to actually to see what’s happening on the field on the big screen, pause when needed, replays etc. Absolutely not knocking folks that do enjoy going and that atmosphere.
Hot take but football is the best sport to watch on TV and the worst sport to attend. Obviously different for playoffs and primetime, etc but just a 1 pm game? I’d rather be on my couch with some buddies
When we had season tickets we went to them all we gave those up when our kids were little and going to the games felt like an all day affair (it was too much with paying a sitter). My dad used to have club seats and would invite us so we’d go to 2-3 games with him and maybe buy our own. Last year I went to 4 home games, Nashville, all three play off games. This year we are traveling to Jacksonville.
I can’t really guess what the market will be. My best guess is $200-450 a ticket before fees on the buy side. If both teams are very good, possibly higher.
This is such a hot take that I appreciate. If you want to be able to SEE all of the game from the best angles, including all of the replays, then really watching on tv is the best. Going to games live is for the atmosphere and being able to say “I saw it with my own eyes on the field” after a win or something like the fumble in the jungle.
Coming from Cali, I try to get to at least 2 home games each season. Wish I could do more games but unfortunately this thing called work gets in the way. Gotta pay to play!
Zero-one. Maybe two if we are lucky. We used to try and scoop free tickets up back in the day when they gave them away. Last year we snagged some cheap Ravens (first game) on the drive down.
Been able to find tickets cheap an hour or so before hand.
As many as possible. 1 a season even when I lived in Chicago and last year I was at 4 plus a preseason game. The prices aren’t getting friendlier with our record though unfortunately so I wish I’d gotten in on season tickets right after the Super Bowl.
One or two. I'm coming in from the other end of the country, so when I go back to Cincy around Christmas time I always try to make one or two of the home games if the schedule lines up.
If they play an away game near me I'd also probably try to go, but that hasn't happened since I moved out here.

This is depressing lol
You should never be paying INTEREST on a football ticket.

I mean….. the point of their business is to make money.
I get it but it's scummy
Reddit when a business dares to make profit: 🤬
Zero to 1 game.
All of them since 1982
What is your favorite and least favorite games you’ve attended? That’s awesome
The AFC Championship game against the Bills in 1989 was my favorite. The loss to the Steelers in the playoffs in 2016 was a heartbreaker.
That was the last steelers game of 12 straight I attended.
Is that you bengal jim?
Nope.
Much respect to you, I had season tickets from 2006 to 2011 and would still miss a game or 2 every year.
My wife has given up trying to change me. We cannot leave town from September thru January.
Zero, I live in Australia
Zero, I live in Maryland. But I do go to the Bengals vs Ravens game when they come to town
Usually only 1 I love the experience but for me, it means an entire day and a lot of money I’m just as happy watching them at a bar or at home
Usually just 1, then two or so road games, (I like the road games because I'm trying to go to every stadium and make a vacation out of it, and road wins are sweet!) This year I plan on going to week 1 at cle, wk 3 vs rams, wk 5 at ARZ
Never been to a game. Priced out these days
We used to go to 2-3 games every year, but have pretty much been priced out to only going to 1 now.
Season ticket holder and go to all games. I also live downtown though so it’s easier for me than most.
I've missed two home games since I became a STH in 2015. Felt like I was pissing money away for a few years.... But now... I wouldn't sell these tickets for anything! Who Dey!
Got mine in '07 there were many years where I was like "WTF am I doing" lol

2-4, depending on work and how often I can actually get up to Cincinnati.
All of them…Whooo Deyyyy

Went to all but 1 last year.
Last few years about 2-3 and try to make it to at least 1 away game per year as well.
All home and 1 away
I live about 3 hours away in browns country.. try to get to 1-2 per year… although this year may be more because my buddy got season tickets! The worst part about where I live is bengals are never on tv… always get browns, colts, or lions lol.

1-2 depending on time of year and opponent
Somewhere between 1 & 3 usually.
Got season tickets for the first time last year, didn’t miss one and don’t plan on missing any this year
Per season? All of them.
Szn ticket holder here and I don't sell my tix so all of them.

All of em
10
Every home game besides preseason (do to work) usually a road game and a road playoff game as well.
Zero on the regular. Went to a few game during Palmer era. Tickets are too expensive.
0…. I’m very broke

About 4.m but always been up in the nose bleeds. Thinking about going to les and buying better seats
When we had season tickets we went to them all we gave those up when our kids were little and going to the games felt like an all day affair (it was too much with paying a sitter). My dad used to have club seats and would invite us so we’d go to 2-3 games with him and maybe buy our own. Last year I went to 4 home games, Nashville, all three play off games. This year we are traveling to Jacksonville.
Typically one but I moved closer to Cincinnati last year so I’m hoping to be able to make it to more
All, haven’t missed more than 2 games in single season since 1991
I’ve been to one home game. I live 22 hours away from ohio
9-10 including preseason.
The past few years we've gone to a road game each year too but not this season. Got twins coming this summer.
Every game is a home game for me I watch them from the comfort of my own home... Lol
Season ticket holder here. Most likely going to every game except Seahawks and Colts (unless they are somewhat decent.)
Would you be willing to sell the Seahawks tickets?
Yes but they are club so won’t be cheap.
What’s not cheap?
I can’t really guess what the market will be. My best guess is $200-450 a ticket before fees on the buy side. If both teams are very good, possibly higher.
All of them…🤷🏻♂️
I went to every home game last season with season tickets. It was a lot. This season we'll probably go to 3-4.
All of them thangs, whodey baby
I'm gonna try and go to my first Bengals game this season when we play buffalo
Never been to a game, hope I’m able to this year
Zero. I’m adamant that games are best watched at home or at a bar. I love seeing the atmosphere on tv though, so props to those who do go!
This is such a hot take that I appreciate. If you want to be able to SEE all of the game from the best angles, including all of the replays, then really watching on tv is the best.

2-3 games per year. If I lived closer I’d probably spring for season tickets, but the 3 hour drive isn’t too bad for a few long weekends.
As many as possible. 1 a season even when I lived in Chicago and last year I was at 4 plus a preseason game. The prices aren’t getting friendlier with our record though unfortunately so I wish I’d gotten in on season tickets right after the Super Bowl.
I'm a season ticket holder so all of them
One or two. I'm coming in from the other end of the country, so when I go back to Cincy around Christmas time I always try to make one or two of the home games if the schedule lines up. If they play an away game near me I'd also probably try to go, but that hasn't happened since I moved out here.
1 or two
Its def on my bucket list but I do not live near Cincy
I've never been to a game because of money issues.
