The Indianapolis Colts play professional football in the NFL based in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Colts play in the AFC South Division alongside the Houston Texans, the Tennessee Titans, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. http://espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=ind Since 1999 the Colts have been unbelievably successful. Division champs in 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009, the Colts also have two AFC Championships, and a Super Bowl XLI in their resume. http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl/indy/icolts.html Because of this success and the fact that they have one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game, Peyton Manning, Colts tickets were a tough find in 2009. Even though they ranked 22nd in league attendance, the Colts averaged 66,549 fans per game, which is 105.6% capacity of their stadium. http://espn.go.com/nfl/attendance

The Colts were ranked seventh in the league for average ticket prices for the 2009 season. The average price of a football ticket for a Colts game was $82.79. (The NFL average was $74.99) http://teammarketing.com.ismmedia.com/ISM3/std-content/repos/Top/News/nfl%20fci%202009.pdf The Fan Cost Index for the Colts is on the NFL's top end, too. The Fan Cost Index is a formula used in computing what it would cost someone four average-price tickets, two draft beers, four small sodas, four hot dogs, parking for one car, two game programs and two team hats. The Colts FCI for 2009 was $452.16. (Much cheaper, though, than the Dallas Cowboys who had the highest FCI at $758.58.) http://teammarketing.com.ismmedia.com/ISM3/std-content/repos/Top/News/nfl%20fci%202009.pdf The most direct way to get Indianapolis Colts tickets is to call (317) 297-7000 or visit ticketoperations@colts.nfl.net.
