Seven of the top ten road teams hail from the NFC and seven made the NFL playoffs last season.

Top 10 Tickets the Week of May 7, 2012
The age-defying Boston Celtics—rejuvenated by the youth of Rajon Rondo—look to knock out the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night and advance to the Eastern Conference Semis. The C's will likely play the Philadelphia 76ers (leading Chicago 3-1) and have home-court advantage at TD Garden. Down the coast in Philadelphia, the Flyers have to win at home on Tuesday night to stay alive. The New Jersey Devils own a 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Semis, and the potential to play the New York Rangers (Hudson River rivalry) in the Eastern Conference Finals will motivate the team to shut down Philly. The Book of Mormon, winner of nine Tony Awards (including Best Musical) and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, rounds out the top three. Currently playing at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York, The Book of Mormon will tour other US cities starting in August. Cities include: Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and more.
| Rank | Event | Venue | Avg Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Boston Celtics Tickets | TD Garden | $722.45 |
