The Minnesota Vikings players and coaches aren't the only ones busy ahead of Sunday's NFL playoff game at U.S. Bank Stadium against the New York Giants.
Michael Nowakowski's Ticket King office is blocks away from the stadium, and the ticket reseller has been busy all week.
"Unfortunately, there haven't been a lot of Vikings home playoff games in the last ten years," said Nowakowski. "We're all working hard, staying late, coming in early, just wheeling and dealing and enjoying the moment."
Nowakowski said the Vikings released a limited number of tickets for the game, most of which were not claimed by season ticket holders for one reason or another. He also said the prices weren't too high because of the opponent; not many Giants fans will be driving from the northeast to Minnesota in January for games.
He said the lowest-priced ticket his office was selling for Sunday was $175.
"It's affordable, which I enjoy more than a situation like the Super Bowl, where even just the face-value takes a lot of people out of posssibly going," said Nowakowski.
Fans are urged to only deal with reputable websites or brick-and-mortar ticket aftermarket companies, and Nowakowski reminded fans that anyone selling paper tickets to Sunday's game is likely a fraud, since the Vikings only issue digital or app-based tickets.
"Don't go on Craigslist, because there are a lot of scam artists out there," he said.
