    The MLB has 81 home games

    The NBA has 41 home games

    The NFL has 8 home games

    It's because there's more of a demand for NFL tickets because there's so much less games. In the MLB there's so many games that people don't care if they miss one because there's so many others they can go to. In the NFL if you miss a game, there's barely any other you can go to

    It's not just a function of supply & demand - although the supply is much smaller than other sports vs. a greater demand. It's bigger than that. The reason the demand is so much greater is because football is by far the most popular American sport.

    More specific to your question, the Broncos are a Super Bowl contender. Mile High Stadium is an amazing place to watch a game. Denver Broncos history has really led to a strong football culture. The Nuggets are just alright. Nothing great in really any way.

    Because people buy them. Have you seen many empty seats at NFL games?

    If you can sell a ticket for $125, why would you sell it for $50?

    If people stopped buying tickets for NFL games, the prices would come down.

    There are only 8 home games per year (10 with preseason). And the 8 regular season games matter.

    There are close to 50 for the Nuggets with preseason, and the NBA regular season is meaningless.

    Because football is the best and more people prefer football over basketball.... Of course, you'll get entirely different answers if you post this in the Basketball section though... Good luck...
