Atlanta Falcons fans are some of the luckiest in the football fans because they get eight chances a year to see Michael Vick in person. When I was in college I saw Vick perform a miraculous 95 yard touchdown run against Boston College. Ever since then, I, as well as every other football fan, have eagerly looked forward to the highlights from every Falcons game.

Going to an Atlanta Falcons Game

Like most NFL teams, the Falcons sell out almost all of their home games. Vick is a big reason for this, but the fact that the Falcons are once again competitive helps out a lot. The downside for people who don't have season tickets is that it can be difficult to catch a Falcons game, whether they're home or on the road.

Many of the seats at the Georgia Dome are sold to season ticket holders far in advance of the season. People who don't have a season ticket package are forced to either try to score tickets from a friend or relative, or to buy single game tickets directly from the team or from a ticket broker. If you want to buy single game tickets, you usually have to do so before the season, as they tend to sell out very quickly.

Once all the season and single game tickets have been sold, your only real option is to buy tickets second-hand. The good news for Falcons fans is that the state of Georgia permits the resale of tickets. The bad news is this often means having to pay more than face value--but if you want to see your team live, it's usually worth it!
